Is this radar good for tennis serves of speed greater than 120mph? It seems most radar guns are not, but I really would like one that is.

Maxim G., Yes you should be able to use this pocket radar on tennis serves of 120mph or greater. Keep in mind that this pocket radar can read speeds of up to 375mph. Just make sure you follow the recommended instructions for clocking tennis serves, and you should be fine. Thank you for your question of pocket radar, and good luck to you. Sincerely SPC

My gut instinct is that without actually owning the VSG it may very well be the same guts in a different package. The VSG appears to be marketed as a sleek sports oriented radar gun. But the VSG also purports to work to gauge vehicle speed. I have been very pleased with my Speedster III and believe that the jackass neighbors have slowed down when I use it...haha!

Jessica,If you haven't bought one yet, I wouldn't waste your money.I can through the ball farther than this thing shoots it - wet or dry.Judging from other answers, it looks like others do not agree and are happy - so use your best judgment.Actually, I am thinking of just using a tennis or racket ball racket - it would work better.Tom

IT do not alert before radars!Only before fast cars,ambulance, police car and motocycles coming closer..If you want i can send you my haf of price It's new ONE! Send Me an email dcotrim@yahoo.com

Since the radar is fixed and the ball is the variable, I would say no, as the ball measurement is more consistently taken when the ball is more accurately fielded and thrown. I don't know how you duplicate that with a bat without damaging the device

Don't know really. Not sure why it should have anything to do with a radar detection device. It is a communication device one uses to communicate with other skiiers/snowboarders on the slopes using a similar device.

If you are looking for extended range. Keep in mind this increased sensitivity increases the false alerts. The RedLine is great for rural highway driving with a a few cars scattered around. But I would not recommend it for the city where the false alerts will drive you crazy.

You get what you pay for, cheaper models don't perform as well as the Passport Max. The biggest problem with radar detectors is false alarms, if you get to many you'll stop listening to the detector. The Max however does an excellent job of filtering out false alarms. When my Max starts talking 9 times out of 10 there is a cop somewhere. I've had a passport max for six months and its already paid for itself by saving me from getting at least 6 tickets.

Gaurav, We would suggest looking at these rackets that have the highest spin and speed ratings: http://www.amazon.com/Stiga-Supreme-Table-Tennis-Racket/dp/B003JK002Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408982285&sr=8-1&keywords=stiga+supreme http://www.amazon.com/Stiga-Evolution-Table-Tennis-Racket/dp/B00EFY9F1C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408982301&sr=8-1&keywords=stiga+evolution http://www.amazon.com/Stiga-Carbon-Table-Tennis-Paddle/dp/B00EFY9F9E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408982302&sr=8-2&keywords=stiga+evolution Hope this helps!

I can credit Beltronics BEL 10X of its accuracy and usefulness of lidar systems. I said good-bye to unnecessary speeding citations ever since I bought it. It works and I hope it works for others as well.

These are very usefull for cod or other fps games and help you shoot alot faster. Though ive had to remove them for racing games or any game u use the trigers for speed controll

Everything would "work" on this, with 300fps you hear the ping and see a slight movement of the target. Its a neat little target for any airsoft gun. But dont expect the targets to go spinning around in circles with an airsoft gun. I have one that shoots 650fps and even that doesnt get them to spin

A qualified yes. Qualified because it'll work if the gun is pointed toward an stationary in front of you, such as a building or other structure. If you point it at another runner or moving vehicle in front of you, it'll give you the relative speed difference - this, how much faster you're moving relative to moving object if front of you. If the moving object in front of you is moving faster than you are, you'll get no reading al all.

I would say they weren't using their radar or had it turned off. Some patrol cars don't even have radar. The unit is very sensitive and will definitely pick up a signal. Mine has saved me from 3 tickets in the few months i've had it.

I just finished a 5,000 mile road trip in a '75 maverick and saw no up dates, I get the same old "warning, possible speed trap, reduce speed, " in the same areas as I have from the beginning. A good radar detector is a far better choice.

I have not used this for tennis but I would think it would work the same as baseball pitching. You press and release the button when the throwing arm is back. It then records the ball movement. From what I read it actually records multiple images and displays the fastest one. I have found it to be very easy to use and accurate.

Remember that this device calculates distance based on ball speed and trajectory (launch angle) through the use of doppler radar. The launch angle is pre-determined by inputting tour club selection (trajectory if loft angle of thr club) so if you typically have a lower or higher ball flight, then this is not very accurate at all. In fact, no one has the same trajectory everytime they hit a ball, so my answer is no...not very accurate. I sold mine and bought a laser. I get much more use out of a laser, especially on the course. True launch monitors, like Trackman, calculate distance using true ball speed, trajectory, and spin. You cannot get feedback like that out of a $200 device. Remember that this device calculates distance based on ball speed and trajectory (launch angle) through the use of doppler radar.
