That one was my quickest all season.
No chance. Mine was quicker.
Prove it then.

...ok. Settled.
Every reading is shareable. Every argument is over.
THE SCOREBOARD
How it works
You mark the points. Paceball does the maths. Marked, not tracked.

Fit both stumps, release and bounce
01 · RECORD
Film the delivery.
Film side-on, phone still, with the ruler and the whole flight in frame.
Accuracy
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.

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.
Compare
Two bowlers, one shared scale. Each reading is the average speed from release to bounce, shown with its own ± range for that one delivery.

Too close to call.
If the ranges overlap, Paceball says so. That's Compare, in Pro.

The ball is a ruler
Use the ball itself when there are no stumps or markers in the frame.

FAQ
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.
Paceball never uploads your videos or measurements.
