Simply set up a profile, connect your device, and you are ready to swing. The app shows more in-depth swing data than what is available on the Impact sensor. Batters can stay in position while coaches view near real-time swing analysis and the batter’s 3-D swing path. The app also provides detailed coaching tips and drills, developed in collaboration with professional hitting coaches, to help make training even more effective and productive.The animated 3-D representation of the bat path also provides information about the bat speed throughout the swing by using green (slow) to red (fast) color coding. This gives hitters and coaches the ability to review each swing from any angle and analyze the metrics to help improve the player’s swing. Organize Swing Data for the Entire Team Using the Impact app, coaches can organize swing data for multiple players by creating profiles that include age, baseball or softball, and skill level, and then the app will determine swing metrics for comparison. The coach can create an avatar for each player with uniform name, number, and color — even bat type and length. Small, Light and Easy to Mount The Impact bat swing sensor is small, light and unobtrusive. Batters will barely know it’s there. The mounting piece is made of flexible material that stretches easily over the end of the bat but holds tight. The sensor then slips easily into the mount.
