FAQ
Why didn’t my swing register a metric? Contact with the baseball must be made for the sensor to capture a metric — swings without contact won’t register.
Which mode should I use first? Online mode gives real-time feedback and is the easiest way to see your first metric; Offline and Video modes are useful when you’re away from your phone or want video review.
