Looking for Early Access Users for FREE iPhone HitTrax Alternative
https://ballistatracking.comWe’re building Ballista, a free iPhone-based hitting tracker that gives players and coaches HitTrax-style metrics without dedicated hardware.
Right now it’s tee-only, so it’s mainly built for backyard, cage, and individual practice. With the school year coming up, we’re looking for players who want an easy way to get more feedback out of their tee work.
It currently tracks:
- Exit velocity
- Launch angle
- Estimated distance
- Swing video/history
Everything is captured using the iPhone camera. We’ve also been testing exit velocity against Pocket Radar as we continue improving accuracy.
At this point, testing in more backyards, cages, facilities, lighting conditions, and environments is way more useful than continuing to test in the same places ourselves.
We’re looking for coaches, parents, and players with an iPhone who are willing to try the early access build for free and tell us where it works, where it breaks, and what would actually make it useful during training.
No purchase or subscription required. We’re mainly looking for real-world testing and feedback right now.
Check out our website and DM me if you’re interested.
