What Is Ball Flight?

Share:

Ball Flight is a premium Blast Baseball feature that uses your phone’s camera and Blast IQ machine vision to detect post-impact ball metrics — Exit Velocity, Launch Angle, and Distance — so you can visualize how the ball travels after you make contact.

How It Works

Your phone’s camera detects the baseball after impact using Blast IQ, measuring the post-impact results of your swing. This lets you see metrics like Exit Velocity, Launch Angle, and estimated Distance without a standalone launch monitor.

Getting Started with Ball Flight

Ball Flight requires an active Blast Connect subscription and a supported device. For full setup steps — including tripod placement, camera distance, and handedness settings — see our Ball Flight troubleshooting guide.
