Find the angle that clears the fence. BattingLab is a home run derby where every swing reports exit velocity, launch angle, spin rate and distance. Hold to set up, slide up and down for height and left and right for location, and let go as the ball passes the white ring. The ball flies through a 3D ballpark, and you watch it all the way to the fence. When exit velo and launch angle land in the big-league window, BARREL! fills the screen. You also see how far under the ball you caught it, down to the inch, so ten swings show you your spread. MODES - 10 BALLS: how many home runs in ten pitches. The last ball is pink, and a home run adds one more. - 60 SECONDS: home runs in a minute. Long ones add time. - PRACTICE: the same pitch over and over. REPLAY After the round, see all ten flight paths from above: from the drone, the mound or the batter's box. Tap a trajectory for its numbers. GAME CENTER Sign in to join the 10 BALLS, 60 SECONDS and longest home run leaderboards. Rounds without assist count.
