there's a few flaws, in that it cant really calculate the release point. I'm assuming it uses pressure sensors of some sort, but alot ofbowlers have a very weak grip on the ball durin the last second of release, and it probably thinks youve released, when it's actually still in hand.

but to get an accurate result you have to pitch it a designated area which if your fast but not very accurate would probably make you bowl slower.
