It is best to have tee 5 Feet from net as a minimum and then Pocket Radar an additional 10 to 15 feet behind the net. The highest radar reading will be balls that are hit within the path of the radar as displayed above. Option 1 is the most accurate set up.

Set Up Option 2
Option 2: Put the Pocket Radar behind the batter and the tee. Set up of Pocket Radar should be 10 to 15 feet behind the batters tee with the hitter hitting towards the net which should be 5 to 10 feet away. The highest radar reading will be balls that are hit within the path of the radar as displayed above. Option 2 can cause a misread when a ball is hit squarely and the finish is chasing the ball burying the ability to read the velocity wihtin the path of the barrel.

Pocket Radar is a great product that is easy to use. The Hitter Handicap is a test of hitting skill and the better hitters will be rewarded by hitting balls to stay within the handheld radar beam. Balls Not hitting the ball where it is supposed to be hit gives instant feedback to hitters who need to focus more on a better swing versus a harder swing.
