Minimum 15 to 20 feet from Radar to Racket/Ball
To measure the maximum speed of a
tennis serve, it is more challenging to aim
the radar properly from behind the server.
Move the radar height up, significantly. The
height should be higher with a slightly
downward tilt, to ensure you capture the
point where the ball is making contact with
the racket. The radar beam must be aimed
direct in line with the path of the ball.
NOTE: Most courts do not have 15-20 feet
of distance available behind the server.

IMPORTANT TIPS
Radar guns focus radio waves down into a
narrow beam, like a flashlight beam. Aim
carefully down the beam to get accurate
readings.
A tennis ball slows down by over 20 MPH
from the racket to the bounce due to air
resistance.
Check for interference by holding down the
radar main button and scanning the area
when there are no balls in flight.
Ensure your set-up is safe to prevent
property damage or injury.

To measure the maximum speed of a
tennis serve, it is very important to aim the
radar properly.
The radar needs to be at a higher height
than where the ball will be making contact
with the racket. The radar beam must be
aimed directly in line with the ball.
In this example, the ball doesn’t enter the
radar beam until it has slowed down.

To measure the maximum speed of a
tennis serve, it is very important to aim the
radar properly.
If there is an angle between the path of the
ball and the radar beam, you will get low
readings due to the cosine effect. The radar
beam must be aimed directly in line with the
path of the ball.
