Collects over 11,000 data points per second – most comprehensive swing analysis tool available

2015 International CES /January 06, 2015 LAS VEGAS--Sports technologists at Diamond Kinetics today announced SwingTracker™, a sensor and accompanying mobile and web tools, providing quantitative analysis and mechanics diagnostics for performance improvement in baseball or softball. Measuring 15 different swing metrics, including power and speed efficiency, SwingTracker is the most comprehensive swing measurement tool available. It is also the only device of its kind to sync video with key data points throughout the swing. 

“SwingTracker takes the guesswork out of bat speed, hand speed and approach angle,” said Chris Sidick, Baseball Trainer/Instructor at C-Side Sports. “Now we can show a player exactly what they are doing during a swing.”

The product will be demonstrated at Booth #’s 75788/75790, Sands Convention Center at the 2015 International CES Conference opening today in Las Vegas.
