A lot goes into swinging a bat — swinging it correctly, that is. Every level of the game has become increasingly dependent on analytics like launch angle, exit velocity, bat speed, etc. For refined mechanics you need access to those numbers. That’s why Garmin has created Impact, a bat-swing sensor that instantly delivers metrics and feedback on a swing.
The device, weighing just 34 grams, connects to the knob of a bat. Baseball or softball players of any level can use Impact to determine bat speed, hand speed, time-to-impact, elevation angle and attack angle. Each play an integral part in the construction of a refined swing.
