Hi, we would like to know how to measure ball speed accurately.We bought " Stalker sport 2 " radar gun for our club & we need help on how to position the radar gun (exact height and angle).We mounted it on a tripod at 6ft height and 4 ft behind the bowling stumps.But we are getting speeds very low, for a fast bowler maximum speed is around 115kmph and for a spin bowler it's around 65kmph, in international cricket even " pause and delivery" balls are measured around 95kmph. We found before "hawk eye" "stalker sport" radar gun were used in international cricket if so where exactly the gun was positioned at the stadium and at what angle & height?How much angle error must be fed to the gun?
