Re: Ball speed testing after matches

A ball speedometer will be available at each regional in the future. It will take the guess work out of shooting for distance. As many teams have already figured out, back spin on these balls cause the trajectory to flatten out. If you are unsure of your ball speed and are prepared to trim the speed down to specification, you will have the chance with the speedometer.
