How to Add an Axe Bat
- Tap the Menu from the Analyze, Training, Live, or Swing screen.
- Tap My Bats.
- Select the plus sign icon on the bottom right of the screen.
- Input the bat’s brand (Axe), Model, Nickname, Length, Weight, Sensor Placement, and Axe Bat Handle Type (Standard or Flared).
- Tap the “Add New Bat” button when finished.
For proper sensor mounting on an Axe bat: place the bat so the downward slope of the knob faces you, then attach the sensor face-up so the Blast Man logo aligns as shown in the app’s demo video. Proper setup is required for accurate metrics.
FAQ
My bat isn’t in the list — what should I do?
Not all bat models are in the system. Select the bat closest to yours and add your bat’s actual name in the Nickname field. To get accurate metrics, make sure the length and weight you enter match your real bat — the model selected has no bearing on the metrics captured.
Does the bat model affect my swing metrics?
No. Only the length and weight you enter affect metric accuracy.
