PGF will make the Blast sensor available to players and teams at their camps, clinics, Premier Performance Lab, and any events where NCAA rules allow for swing assessment to be performed.
“It has become critically important in developing and evaluating players to have reliable, consistent and objective information,” said Dan Hay, President, Premier Girls Fastpitch. “We are thrilled to be partnering with Blast Motion to collectively leverage technology to bring that information to recruiters, coaches and players.”
