Description

Train smarter and get better with the #1 hitting improvement technology, trusted by more pro, college, elite travel ball, academy teams, coaches, and players for player development at every level of play than any other solution. Simply attach the Blast Softball Swing Analyzer or Personal Swing Trainer*** to any standard bat and your iPad or iPhone will do the rest. Record video of your swings in the Blast Softball app* and the patented Smart Video Capture ™ technology will automatically identify your swings, clip your video, and overlay your swing metrics, synchronized at impact. (Bat Speed, Time to Contact, Attack Angle, etc.) With the 3D Swing Tracer, you can replay and analyze your swing path instantly. Live mode provides real-time feedback, allowing you to visualize your swing, make adjustments, and see the results. Compare your swing videos side-by-side or send them to a coach for further analysis.

Players with a Personal Swing Trainer can get started with the Blast solution. This player-only experience helps you build a better swing by focusing on swing speed and swing path through a simplified experience.

Works most of the time

When it works it is great. Problem is when it doesn’t work. You have a great batting session with ball flight enabled; then you go back to try and open the app because it crashes and will not initialize. You lose all you data and swing video because it does not upload to the cloud. Very frustrating. But when it works it great, just seems to crash when you have great swings and cannot analyze the swings. Off loading the app and reloading it does nothing. It will still not initialize the app and you have to delete it and reinstall. That loses the data and videos; even though, you can see the space it takes up.

A little more work needed

It would be nice if you could add videos and at-bats after the fact to sessions. It would also be nice if all your work (regardless of being in a session or not) would sync with the Blast Connect. Just because it’s not in a session doesn’t mean I had “an easy week”. I’m still swinging and working, sometimes I forget to put it in a session. Maybe for the next update?

Wish I had tried a different brand

First I bought into the sensor ... $150, then I bought into the year subscription to the app/software $60. NOW ... all I can say is, “Why the heck does this thing cost so much!?!” The app itself crashes more than a 2 year old playing Mario cart. In fact, it’s the worst app I own. Logging into your account online doesn’t offer the videos you’ve stored in the app. And when saving 3D videos of a swing to share, it tends to distort the video into a glitchy fast forward version of ... something totally worthless. The analytics sold it, the rudimentary technology that goes with it is why I suggest you try something else first. Sounded much better than it actually is!
