The DD's get so much softball gear before during and after a season that they don't get anything softball related for Christmas. I got one of those stopwatch/pitch counter/ pitchspeed dohickeys. We went to DD's pitching coach last week and I compared my pitchspeed counter with his Juggs radar gun readings to get an idea of how to measure it accurately.
I think I figured out where this "my DD was clocked at _ MPH" comes from, even a Juggs gun will occasionally give you an incorrect reading. My DD had one that was 12 MPH faster than everything else she threw and there was simply no way the ball was moving that fast. The timing was perfect though, her older sister had just come over to check it out having just pitched herself so I showed the reading to her and said, "see, your little sister is already pitching faster than you".
