Blast Softball vs ProVelocity Swing Analyzer

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 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 Softball Swing Analyzer and Personal Swing Trainer*** are highly accurate, advanced 3D motion capture system 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 Softball app*, coaches, parents, and players of all ages can gain the insights they need to improve their swing and gain the competitive edge. * The Blast Softball app requires the Blast Softball Swing Analyzer or Personal Swing Trainer and the Blast bat attachment to collect data. The app currently supports English language and Imperial measurements. ** Requires a Blast Connect and Premium Services account and Swing Analyzer to provide advanced app, player, and coaching functionality. Blast Connect is an information and player management platform that features data trending, advanced reporting, roster management, mobile video analysis, and more. *** The Blast Softball Swing Analyzer / Personal Swing Trainer, charger, and bat attachment are sold as a package.

ProVelocity turns your phone into a precision swing analyzer. Using advanced acoustic detection, it listens for the distinctive double-click of your resistance bands at full bat extension to measure exactly how long your swing stays on plane — then calculates your On-Plane Efficiency (OPE) percentage. HOW IT WORKS Mount your resistance bands, place your phone 3-5 feet from your swing path with the microphone facing up, and swing. ProVelocity's audio engine filters out background noise using a bandpass filter tuned to the click frequency range, then detects whether your bat produced a single click or the coveted double click — meaning your swing entered and exited the hitting zone on plane. ON-PLANE EFFICIENCY OPE is the core metric that separates good swings from great ones. ProVelocity calculates your theoretical swing time based on physics — your bat length, batter height, resistance load, and barrel mass — then compares it to your actual measured time in the zone. The result is a clear percentage score. Hit 80% or above and you're ready to increase resistance. Below that, the app tells you to dial it back and refine your mechanics. PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE TRAINING ProVelocity is built around a simple feedback loop: swing, measure, adjust. When your efficiency climbs above 80%, add resistance. When it drops, reduce it. Over time, you build real bat speed through progressive overload while maintaining proper swing mechanics — not just swinging harder. EQUIPMENT PROFILES Pre-configured profiles for baseball, softball, and cricket bats. Select your bat length (30" to 33"), choose from 5 lb, 7.5 lb, 8.5 lb, or 15 lb resistance bands, enter your height, and the app calculates your expected swing speed and total swing radius automatically. SWING HISTORY Every swing is logged with date, speed, time in zone, and efficiency percentage. Track your progress over weeks and months of training. See exactly when your mechanics improved and how your efficiency trends over time. WAVEFORM VISUALIZATION After each swing, view a detailed audio waveform showing the decibel levels captured during your swing. See exactly where peaks were detected and understand what your swing sounded like to the algorithm. TUNABLE SENSITIVITY Training in a noisy cage? Quiet backyard? Adjust the decibel sensitivity threshold and click window timing to match your environment. ProVelocity works wherever you train.
