Re: Ball speed testing after matches
At New Jersey this happened on 3 occasions that I can remember, 25, 293, 303 all were tested on Friday some time. 25 and 303 both were shooting around 11.7 m/s and 293 set the new land speed record at a whooping 15.7 m/s which they later turned down to about 11.5 m/s
The test unit consists of 2 light sensors that are spaced 1 meter apart and are connected to a computer where the time intervals were captured and then the speed calculated. The unit itself is then held right at the exit point of the ball. The only teams that tested were the ones that the ref's felt may be shooting at an excessive speed.
