    At this point Fidel I'm obsessed about getting an accurate reading & being done with this once and for all. Got no problem paying the $140 difference but if that's not an option then fukk it, I'm not shelling out $640. ( Just checked, they don't even sell that Stalker Gun, so unless they can do a full return, I'd only be able to trade it in for one of these 2 which I wouldn't do.)

      Best use for it would be to fukk bri and see how fast your thrusting
      Here's the thing Krak, I was legit clocked at 84 in HS in 1994 when the coach decided to clock all the players from the mound during one practice. I remember only 4 guys on the team threw harder with our best pitcher clocked at 91. Clearly not saying I throw that hard now but I know the difference between now & then is nowhere near 27 MPH. (10 MPH tops )

        I admire your obsession with this Doug I do but honestly to the nekkid eye it really looks like the gun is not that far off.

        I’ll go against the grain though, I would buy the big time gun if I were you just to know for sure. You have the money, you’re obsessed and not gonna be happy until you know for sure, we’re all now becoming obsessed, I say go for it

          Yeah, like tex said
          You might be right ,but it's few mph
          either way ...I'd rather you not waste any more $$$
          you seem in good shape and nothing to be ashamed of
          No reason to spend hundreds of bucks on things you'll
          use a few times then collect dust

            Appreciate it Tex, but not obsessed enough to shell out the full cost. Gonna have to at least get my $500 back to make it worth it. The company rep. told me yesterday she could zoom with me or have me send her the videos to help resolve the issue but I don't see what good that will do.

              Fidel I literally can't show any more definitive proof than this. Please tell me how this eephuss pitch is the same speed as my fastest pitch? Unless you're gonna tell me they severely juice the guns in the Majors this just doesn't pass the smell test.

                Yeah I was surprised to see an in-shape dude, I envisioned a pudgier fellow for some reason. I am currently so far from my best self, let’s just say I’ll not be posting any videos any time soon. But Douglas is in better shape than most here and probably most 45 year olds as well so there is that you can hang your hat on even if you won’t be making any minor league rosters any time soon

                  Set it up on the highway and drive your car past it to verify.

                    Yeah that def has some substance to it

                    Hhhmm, now you got me wanting to know lol

                    Think you could get a chance at some field
                    where teams practicing or a indoor spot
                    Say could I try a pitch or something
                    I'm sure someone be nice enough to let a fella
                    who's showing some enthusiasm to pitch couple

                      I don't know Fidel it's gonna be awkward walking up to a team practicing & asking if they could watch me throw a few pitches. If anyone in Brooklyn in the Gravesend/Coney Island area sees this & offers me a chance to that, then I don't see why not.

                          It would only make sense If one of these teams had a radar gun at the field which most of them usually don't from past experience.

                            on your pitches being faster than 53 and

                              For now I'm gonna take it one step at a time. Gonna call them tmm, tell them everything I've brought up in this thread & see what they recommend. They were on the phone with me over 20 minutes last time so I know they're not gonna blow me off.

                                    Buy it, get your readings and either return it, or post it up on ebay and recover 75% of the cost... Then when it reads differently return your other one as faulty

                                    And you'll probably save money doing this

                                      Dougie, you need a mound. Will give you way more force moving forward. Probably 5mph+. You are trying to throw a dart with the current setup whereas a mound will give you the downforce you are looking for.

                                          Final video. No point in filming anymore, feels like I'm throwing hard but the arm speed just isn't there.

                                                  turn that tennis vid into these radar frauds back and demand money back, or you'll blow up the internet with this proof that this product sucks.

                                                  take that $ and invest in yourself and buy the JUGs

                                                  feel good, give yourself a real goal again

                                                  and prove the haters wrong

                                                    Ok...let's get to the mechanics here

                                                    I think the gun is right

                                                    1- pitching

                                                    There is no leg kick, no dip in waist level, no leg drive and no downward arm action. Also you are cupping the ball and not holding in loose in your hand w 2 seams.

                                                    Why go from stretch? You need 3 things to generate speed while pitching...u need leg kick, low drive from there (this is where your waist should drop about 9 inches to a foot from where you started and your back should curve almost uncomfortably to generate a torso roration) and then the arm follows, overhead, with the ball held loosely by the 2 fingers parallel to the seems, the wrist flicking upon release as the arm comes overtop upon the weight shift to the front leg...the momentum carries the rear leg up and over your new waistline position.

                                                    You can hit 80 w these mechanics. Your form is horrible on the video but the arm is there.

                                                    Tennis...again this is all arm speed and angle. Notice your highest readings where the low forehand shots you hit. It's because it's easier and faster to hit a forehand low and forward. In service, you hit ahead and down, generating the speed. Legs do not matter in tennis serive. Arm speed and position of the ball (ahead and high) are all that matter.

                                                    You should be able to serve a tennis ball well into the 90s against that wall. On the court, accuracy counts, but given time a 90s 1st seve is not undoable at a 50% clip from what I've seen.

                                                        Anavar & beads

                                                        Will tighten prostate.

                                                        Take 40 ** of var 2 hr before sex. Find a kinky bitch to stick beads in your ass and ride your cahwk. Have her jump off near climax and you'll still hit her in the face from 4 to 5 feet away.

                                                        Remove beads.

                                                        Have kinky bitch put Tabasco on her finger and rub in your ass. You'll be hard again in 30 seconds and ready to go w a dry nut, which feels AMAZING

                                                            All good points fatty but at this point I don't know much improving my mechanics would make much of a difference. Since '98 I really haven't picked up a baseball or worked out at all so i would really have to build up my core to get any drive in my delivery. I'm just gonna call them tomorrow, show them all the videos to see if they think the radar is off. If they say it's not, while I still might not believe it I'll just have to accept it & then just take it from there.
