iPhone-camera batting app

SwingDino vs b4-app

b4-app is the closest thing to us out there, iPhone camera only, no gadget to strap on a kid. They built a serious "personal batting lab" that floods you with pro stats (attack angle, bat path, an exact contact point) a single phone camera can't honestly measure, and they keep your kid's swing video in the cloud. We measure the few numbers a phone can actually earn, throw the video away on purpose, and make it fun enough that a 7-year-old (and a 70-year-old) wants another cut.
