Bottom Line

Specifically designed to track sports ball or puck speed.

Pros

Designed to make continuous measurements to capture the fastest speed of the ball or puck. Users love the built-in memory that holds the previous 25 speeds for review. Personal Training Mode allows you to operate it hands-free, so you can practice by yourself.

Cons

Some users tell us they have to be closer than the recommended 120' for it to work accurately.

Bottom Line

Simple trigger-style design at a mid-range price.

Pros

Users love the easy operation. Pistol grip design makes it simple to point at what you want to measure. Just pull the trigger and the speed reading comes up on the large LCD display quickly. Recommended for ball sports and vehicles.

Cons

At 19 oz., it's not as small and lightweight as others.

Bottom Line

A solid choice for under $100 if you want to use it on vehicles.

Pros

Users love the "continuous mode" for automatic readings. Pistol design is easy to use. Once you release the trigger, it displays the fastest speed. Can be used with the Bushnell SpeedScreen (not included) to wirelessly display speeds on a larger screen.

Cons

Some users note it has a tough time picking up the speed of baseballs and tennis balls.
