My apologies if this has been answered previously. I searched and couldn't find anything specific.
Skytrak's stated accuracy is as follows:
If it is not average error, then it must be some type of conservatively set confidence band. For example, within this 95% of the time.
I was just wondering if Seth (or anyone else who has the information) could be more specific about this. I understand that there may be reasons not to disclose this information, but if at all possible it would be greatly appreciated.
My guess is that the skytrak has an optimal range where the data is very accurate, and as you move away from that the confidence decreases. It would be nice to know what those optimal ranges are. I presume that the reported launch data accuracy numbers include the entire range of shots, and as such are conservative. For example, ball speed accuracy worsens above 165 mph and below 30 mph.
Skytrak's stated accuracy is as follows:
- Ball Speed: 0-200mph +/- 1mph
- Launch Angle: 0-55° +/- 1°
- Back Spin: 0-12,000rpm +/- 250rpm
- Side Spin: 0-4,000rpm +/- 250rpm
- Side Angle: 0-20° +/- 2°
If it is not average error, then it must be some type of conservatively set confidence band. For example, within this 95% of the time.
