At Rapsodo, we’ve spent years developing cutting-edge technology to push the boundaries of player development. With the release of our PRO Series ball flight monitors from Rapsodo, including the PRO 3.0 and PRO 2.0, you now have two powerful options for tracking performance. But how do these units compare? Let’s break down the key features of each to help you decide which is best for your program.
PRO 3.0: The Ultimate in Ball-Tracking Technology
If you’re looking for the most advanced ball-tracking technology on the market, PRO 3.0 ball flight monitor is built for you. Designed with both professionals and top-tier amateurs in mind, PRO 3.0 goes beyond typical data capture, offering next-level insights that can transform your player development program.
Here’s what sets the PRO 3.0 apart:
- Simultaneous Live-on-Live Data Capture: Seamlessly capture pitching and hitting data on the same iPad—an innovation designed to provide a complete, real-time analysis for both sides of the game.
- Advanced Metrics: The PRO 3.0 provides insights that go beyond the surface. Capture Seam Shifted Wake Break, Seam Orientation, Contact Depth Point, Vertical and Horizontal Approach Angles, and more. These metrics give you a deeper understanding of ball flight and performance that can’t be seen by the naked eye.
- High-Level Training: Whether you’re a pro team or a high-level amateur, the PRO 3.0 gives you the tools you need to fine-tune performance and build a custom development plan based on real-time data.
PRO 2.0: Pro-Level Data for Any Coach or Player
The PRO 2.0 ball flight monitor brings the same reliable ball-tracking hardware and precision as the PRO 3.0 but is designed to meet the needs of any level of coach or player. It’s the perfect balance of high-level data and user-friendly design, making it accessible without sacrificing performance.
Key features include:
- Dual Cameras and Radar: The PRO 2.0 still provides pro-level data capture through its advanced hardware, giving you the same accuracy for both pitching and hitting as the PRO 3.0.
- Rapsodo Baseball App: Customize your experience with the new app, which lets you choose between hitting or pitching sessions. Select basic, advanced, or custom data screens to tailor your sessions to your specific training needs.
- Affordable and Easy to Use: While it doesn’t offer the Live-on-Live functionality or stereo camera like the PRO 3.0, the PRO 2.0 is built to deliver exceptional results for any level of athlete.
PRO 2.0 vs Legacy 2.0: A Decade of Innovation
For those familiar with the Legacy 2.0 units, the PRO 2.0 represents a significant upgrade—built from almost a decade of innovations and feedback from thousands of coaches and athletes. The PRO 2.0 solves the key limitations of the Legacy units, providing faster setup, more reliable data capture, and more powerful insights.
Here’s what’s improved:
- All-in-One Housing: No more juggling multiple pieces—charging, setup, and connectivity are streamlined into one device, making setup easier than ever.
- Extended Battery Life and Connectivity: With an upgraded WiFi chip, Ethernet port, and a significantly longer battery life, the PRO 2.0 offers more flexibility and reliability than its predecessor.
- Increased Data Accuracy: By capturing the complete ball flight for pitching and twice as many images for hitting, the PRO 2.0 ensures more accurate data capture, leading to better insights.
- Quick Connect: Coaches can get up and running faster with our Quick Connect system, giving them more time to focus on what matters—developing players.
Which Unit is Right for You?
Both the PRO 3.0 and PRO 2.0 offer powerful tools to elevate your player development. If you’re a high-level program looking for the most advanced metrics and simultaneous pitching and hitting analysis, the PRO 3.0 is the ultimate solution. For coaches and teams seeking high-quality, pro-level data in a more affordable and streamlined package, the PRO 2.0 offers everything you need.
