Re: Ball speed testing after matches
The 1 meter long speed tester at the St. Louis Regional was a joke. After breaking their tester by not lining it up correctly and hitting it with a ball, we got inconsistent readings all day. After finding a speed that the sensor said we could use, we tested our distance and we couldn't shoot 10 feet. If they are going to require speed testing at nationals, I should hope that they will come up with a more acurate way of testing.
