The Ball Coach was consistently with +/- 1 mph of both the Stalker Pro II and Stalker Sport 2, which held for: The Ball Coach does not display velocities to the nearest tenth like higher end radar guns, but this is plenty good enough for just about any trainee or coach, especially considering that even two Stalker guns will only read within about 0.5-1.0 mph of each other when placed side-by-side. Still, it's by far the least expensive option that can reliably hold its own against higher end models like the Stalker Pro II. I hesitate to put the Ball Coach in the "budget" radar gun category, as it's more of a mid-range player. This is by far the most important aspect of any radar gun. With either gun, though, staying between 15 and 90 feet from ball release is a good guideline for accurate readings. *While I can actually pick up readings at 100-120 feet from a Pocket Radar, in my experience it's damn-near impossible to get readings with even a Stalker Pro II past about 200-250 feet, so these listed ranges are a bit exaggerated for practical purposes. For scouts, it still makes sense to stick to the clunky, albeit longer range Stalker models. Still, these drawbacks are negligible if you're using it under the specifications the vast majority of trainees and coaches will be using. Easy to use and rugged enough for professionals and amateurs alike, Pocket Radar is ushering in a new era in speed radar technology to transform the way in which players, coaches, fans and everyday consumers understand the importance of metrics and data.The tradeoff here is that the Ball Coach lacks the typical barrel seen on other radar guns, affecting both the effective distance (rated to 120' rather than the 300-500 feet for Stalker models*) and aiming of the device (imagine aiming a pistol that didn't have a barrel - you'd have to be fairly close to ensure the right angle).
