PCR stands for Plane, Connection, and Rotation — the three swing quality areas Blast Motion measures to give players an automatic swing score based on their selected level of play.
What PCR Measures
The best swing quality is achieved when players focus on three areas:
- Plane – the swing’s path through the hitting zone
- Connection – how well the body and bat work together
- Rotation – the rotational mechanics driving the swing
PCR provides automatic swing quality scores for each of these areas based on your selected level of play. The standard scale measures a player’s swing performance and distributes it on a bell curve of 80 to 20.
