## What is Blast Baseball?

Train smarter and get better with the bat sensor technology used by nearly all the MLB teams. Simply attach the Blast Baseball 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 Baseball 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 and coaches with a membership or free trial can utilize the app’s advanced functionality to automatically assess every swing for swing quality, providing insights in three areas that all great hitters possess: plane, connection, and rotation. Insights make it simple for coaches to evaluate players for recruitment and player development, with recommendations and drills for improvement. Coaches can also streamline coaching feedback through Mobile Video Analysis with voice-over recording and video markup tools.

The Blast Baseball Swing Analyzer and Personal Swing Trainer*** are highly accurate, advanced 3D motion capture systems that record your swings. They use Bluetooth® Smart technology to connect to your iPhone or iPad. There’s no need to alter your natural swing. The Swing Analyzer / Personal Swing Trainer know when to dynamically power-up the patented motion detection algorithms to capture your metrics in real-time. They even store data on the Swing Analyzer / Personal Swing Trainer when your mobile device is out of range and download your actions to the Blast app as soon as you reconnect.

With the Blast Baseball app* coaches, parents, and players of all ages can gain the insights they need to improve their swing and gain the competitive edge.

### 5/5 — Great tool for 7 year old baseball obsessed son

*2026-07-17*

As a dad of a 7 year old who loves baseball, this has been one of the best investments we’ve made. The sensor gives him objective feedback on his swing and motivates him as it has gamified his practice. He has been spending upwards of an hour a day practicing off the tee trying to beat his personal bests. He did not enjoy the idea of hitting off the tee by himself prior to this, and the tool and app have changed that. In the short period of time that he has been using it, there has been significant improvement in his numbers which has been awesome to see! Highly recommend to anyone with a child who loves baseball.

### 5/5 — ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Game-Changer for Youth Baseball Development

*2026-07-15*

Blast Motion has become one of the most valuable tools in my son’s baseball development. As the parent of a highly motivated youth player, I’ve found it to be much more than a gadget—it’s an objective coaching tool that helps guide our training.

Instead of guessing what needs improvement, the sensor provides real data on metrics like bat speed, attack angle, connection, and rotational acceleration. We’ve been able to identify weaknesses, set measurable goals, and track progress over time. It’s incredibly motivating for my son to see his hard work reflected in the numbers.

The app is intuitive, the video synchronization is excellent, and the instant feedback makes practice far more productive. We’ve used the data to adjust drills, monitor improvement, and build a more purposeful training plan.

For any serious baseball or softball player, parent, or coach, I can’t recommend Blast Motion highly enough. It brings a level of objective analysis that was once only available to elite players and makes it accessible to everyone.

It’s easily one of the best investments we’ve made in my son’s baseball journey.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-07-04*

I used to be able to access my information, the training centre, and exit velocity.  Now All 3 are gone and I basically got a tough luck reply from the support team, saying my errors are expected and individual subscriptions are only accessible through the app now.  

When I said the entire point of my purchase was to access the training centre and asking why that access was also gone, they didn’t even reply.  Will be contacting my bank for a refund.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-06-24*

We used to enjoy using this despite going from free use to paid use. We were willing to pay the monthly subscription. But we got kicked out of the app and when we try to log back in, it gives us error messages. When I go to forgot password, it says our credentials don’t exist. I emailed support and am getting no response. At this rate, I will probably cancel our subscription since it’s useless at this point and support is not willing to help. Beware that this is what you get.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-01*

Just let us use the basics.

### 4/5 — Great for Analytics

*2026-05-15, version 5.18.0*

Great app for analytics!  The app itself can a little glitchy but we were able to find a workaround.

### 5/5 — So far so good. Still learning

*2026-05-05, version 5.17.1*

We have enjoyed the sensor so far. Still learning the different metrics

### 1/5 — 改悪

*2026-05-01*

１日10スイングってマジ本体代返して欲しい

### 5/5 — Fun and useful app for my 12 year old son

*2026-04-28*

We have had the Blast sensor for 3 months now. It easily attaches to the end of his bat and gives multiple feedback data points. We focus mainly on bat speed and attack angle. The stats are delivered almost immediately to the app after contact of bat with ball. My son loves hearing the stats and makes adjustments and gets immediate feedback on those adjustments. The app also gives you an optimal range for each data point as a goal

### 1/5 — Most Convoluted App I’ve Used

*2026-04-22*

This app has some much potential and it’s wasted on the most convoluted presentation possible.  The data it collects is great but viewing that data is made impossible by the front end of this app.  There’s zero way just to get to your numbers and view them.  Everything is filtered through three things called Plane Score, Connection Score and Rotation Score.  You have to dig through those to get to actual raw data and even then it’s hard to view. And there’s different ways to get to these Scores at the bottom of the app. It’s just a convoluted mess.  Great data collector but it’s like the app owner doesn’t want you to get to the data.

**Developer response:** Thanks for this feedback. We genuinely appreciate it, and it's exactly what we need to hear as we work to improve the experience. We are actively working on updates for this year specifically designed to make your data much easier to find, access, and interpret.

If you have specific ideas on what you'd like to see, please drop us a line at support@blastmotion.com, we'd love to hear from you.
