How it works

RECORD. MARK. READ.

You mark the points. Paceball does the maths. Marked, not tracked.

Film the delivery.

Film side-on, phone still, with the ruler and the whole flight in frame.

Accuracy

A number, and how far to trust it.

The ball is released about 2 m past the crease and pitches well short of the far stumps, so it travels roughly 11 m, not the full 20.12 m pitch. Paceball measures the real distance with a ruler in the frame and reads the frame rate from every file.

Average speed · release to bounce · Example

80.3km/h± 8

24 frames ÷ 60.03 fps = 0.3998 s · 8.92 m

Speed = distance ÷ (frames ÷ 60.03) × 3.6. The ± range is for this one reading only.

WHO'S QUICKER?

FAQ

Quick answers.

As accurate as the range says. Well-framed stumps give a tight range; a paced-out distance gives a wider one.

No. Radar reads the ball as it leaves the hand. Paceball gives the average from release to bounce, which is lower. Release speed is typically 5 to 8% higher.

Android 9 or newer. No iPhone yet.

Because a single number would claim more than a phone video can know.
