Progress over the years, with Addison Tyler

We recently spoke with Addison Tyler (2026) and her father David about their longtime use of both the Ball Coach and Smart Coach models. Here is their feedback:

Addison has been working with Pocket Radar products since she was 8 years old and has found that the instant feedback has been a excellent tool during her growth in the game. She has found holding herself accountable for her numbers as a personal challenge. Always looking to “do better” or “achieve more”. She looks back at her progress over time and knows with commitment those numbers should increase.

We implement Pocket Radar in our workouts 2 days a week.
• Pitching Day - Weighted ball and high velocity day. We measure each pitch , record, and track for 2 rounds of 8 pitches (5oz ball and Standard ball).
• Hitting Day - Tee and front toss day. We measure each hit, record, and track 1 round of 3 tee hits (low in, middle in, high in, low out, middle out, high out), as well as last 10 front toss pitches.
The data we record we review to monitor improvement or slippage. We will watch the Smart Coach App System videos to review form.

The gains Addison has made over is a direct result of her effort and Pocket Radar’s instant data feedback. I’m certain that this will be a part of her toolbox for the years to follow.
