Shoot from the bleachers, tap two frames, and get the numbers coaches and scouts actually look at. HOW IT WORKS 1. Record or import a clip of the play. 2. Tap the frame of the catch and the frame the ball reaches the bag. 3. POPTime calculates pop time, exchange, and velocity instantly. 4. Export the clip with clean on-video overlays to share.
