THE GRID

DESCRIPTION OF THE GRID SYSTEM

The GRID uses optical lasers to track precise speed, trajectory and location of sports objects. Coupled with a video capture of each “event” (i.e. pitch, a hit, a catching event or all three), the system is able to illustrate how changes in mechanics can improve a player’s performance.

OPPORTUNITY

While originally developed for baseball and softball, our patent covers the Bi-directional tracking of ANY sports object whose velocity, location and/or trajectory is of value to measure.

 

This allows The GRID to be easily adapted to other ball-based sports (golf, soccer, cricket, tennis, etc.)

 

Because The GRID system is able to track both the entry and exit of an object, the system has a wide variety of applications across numerous sports:

- Training

- Product testing

- Entertainment

- Gaming

PITCHING

The GRID offers the most accurate and comprehensive assessment of pitcher performance for either baseball or softball. The system captures data from at least 3 different points to provide precise trajectory, speed, movement and location of each pitch.

​

Video capture helps pitchers to determine how mechanical adjustments can optimize their effectiveness.

TRANSFORMING THE TRAINING EXPERIENCE

ADVANCED TRAINING

The data captured by the lasers and HD Cameras is instantly translated into a graphic representation of the event.
The GRID dramatically enhances training capabilities by providing real-time feedback. Data collected from The GRID will include:

  • Exit Velocity

  • Launch Angle

  • Distance and Trajectory of the hit

  • Pitch Location and Velocity

UNPRECEDENTED CATCHER
ASSESSMENT TOOLS

The GRID Catching module, used with either The GRID for Pitching or Hitting, tracks the movement of the ball using optical lasers and captures the mechanics of the catcher using high-speed video. Athelytix will provide catchers and coaches with more accurate and complete data sets than currently available on any scale.

These measurements will include:

  • Pop Time, including segmented transfer time and location of incoming pitch

  • Multi-view assessment of receiving and framing

  • Complete battery analysis to enhance pitch sequencing.
