Product Description
The Glove Radar is a small Doppler radar weighing only 3 ounces, packaged in a rugged, attractive plastic case. It is attached to any ball glove with a multi-strand nylon paracord that offers over 300 pounds of tensile strength. The glove-mounted radar has been proven to withstand poundings of baseballs at speeds in excess of 100 mph. It measures ball speed from 12 mph to over 100 mph typically within 1 mph of more expensive radar guns measuring ball speed in the same relative location . It is a very low power radar, transmitting much less power than typical cell phones and portable phones. It is powered by a small N/3 size , 3 volt lithium camera battery. The product is covered by a 6-month limited warranty. The Glove Radar is certified for sale and use in the U.S., Canada, Common Market Europe, and Australia. It is made in the USA.

A small Doppler radar velocity sensor which attaches to a baseball or softball glove, the Sports Sensors Glove Radar measures the speed of a ball just before it is caught. By learning the proper way to condition, train, warm-up, and throw, players can achieve their best accuracy and velocity performance, while reducing the risks of injury to their arm and body. It can aid any player–infielders and outfielders, as well as pitchers and catchers–throwing from any distance.
The Glove Radar attaches easily to the back of any glove. |
Packaged in a rugged plastic housing assembly and sealed to protect the internal electronics from dust, dirt and moisture, the Glove Radar is worn by the receiver of the ball, or by multiple tossing partners in non-game situations. It then responds to the approaching ball just before it reaches the glove. Thus, unlike most radar speed guns, a long range capability is not required.
Two screws hold the cover in place, which can be removed to replace the internal battery. A strong, weather-resistant nylon cord, facilitates attachment to virtually any ball glove. A rubber pad, molded onto the housing surface adjacent to the glove, absorbs impact shock forces from the ball being caught.
The internal electronics are in “sleep” mode until activated by depressing the push-button On switch. Upon receipt of a velocity signal produced by a ball about to be caught in the glove, the ball speed is calculated and shown on the display in miles-per-hour. The Glove Radar goes into the sleep mode after an inactivity period of about a minute. It’s backed by a 6-month limited warranty. Made in USA.
