Full Swing Ventures Beyond Golf with Revolutionary Baseball KIT Launch Monitor
Full Swing Expands into Baseball with the Revolutionary KIT Launch Monitor
Full Swing, a leader in sports technology trusted by elite athletes like Tiger Woods, has made a groundbreaking leap into the world of baseball with the launch of its cutting-edge KIT Launch Monitor. This innovative device is designed not only to enhance player practice but also to transform how hitting metrics are captured, making high-level analytics accessible to the masses, from amateur players to professional athletes.
A New Dimension in Athletic Training
The KIT Launch Monitor represents a significant evolution for Full Swing, already a recognized name in golf simulators and technology. With its introduction to baseball, Full Swing aims to provide players with essential data through a device that captures 12 vital performance metrics on every swing. These metrics include Pitch Velocity, Bat Speed, and Exit Velocity, which collectively help analyze a player's performance and suggest improvements. One of the KIT's standout features is its ability to measure bat speed without needing to attach any sensors to the bat itself—a monumental first for portable launch monitors.
Optimizing Practice Time
The KIT monitors cutting-edge hitting efficiency metrics such as Potential Exit Velocity and Squared Up Rate. These insights were previously available only through sophisticated and expensive systems used in Major League Baseball stadiums. By making such advanced analytics available through a portable and affordable device, KIT is set to revolutionize baseball training. It enables players and coaches to make data-driven adjustments instantaneously, whether training indoors or outdoors.
Utilizing high-resolution video and 3D field graphics accompanying every swing, KIT provides players a detailed snapshot of their batting sessions. Not only does this enhance the training experience, but it also increases practice efficiency, allowing athletes to maximize their improvement.
Tailored Features for All Levels
Ryan Dotters, CEO of Full Swing, highlighted the company’s broader vision: “We are a sports company that aims to help athletes of all abilities improve.” Given that golfers and baseball players analyze similar metrics during training, the launch of KIT for baseball feels like a natural progression for Full Swing. The device comes equipped with an easy-to-use app that is compatible with multiple platforms, including iPhones, iPads, and Android devices, meaning players can easily store and share performance data with coaches and teammates.
The KIT offers two distinct functionality modes: one for batting and another for pitching, with metrics specifically designed to measure both. Current batting metrics show Bat Speed in mph, Exit Velocity, Launch Angle, Direction, Distance, and Hit Spin Rate. Meanwhile, pitching metrics focus on pitch Speed and Spin Rate. The KIT also has a Live At-Bat function that allows simultaneous data tracking, resulting in a more immersive training experience.
Affordable Innovation
Priced at $6,499, the KIT Launch Monitor offers a remarkable value compared to competitors, bringing advanced technology within reach for individuals, travel teams, and educational institutions. Moreover, a future software update aims to allow the KIT device to function as a golf launch monitor as well, providing dual functionality for those involved in both sports.
As an added incentive, Full Swing has partnered with Marucci, the official bat of Major League Baseball, to provide a co-branded gear bag with initial purchases, marking the beginning of an exciting strategic partnership.
Upcoming Opportunities
Players can purchase the KIT directly from Full Swing’s website, with retail partners expected to join the distribution soon. To give fans a firsthand opportunity to experience the KIT, Full Swing will have a presence at the upcoming American Baseball Coaches Association convention taking place from January 8-11, 2026, in Columbus, Ohio.
Full Swing continues to reshape how sports technology is perceived, and the launch of the KIT for baseball underlines the company's commitment to fostering excellence in sports performance. With its innovative approach to training, players at every level can look forward to enhancing their skills like never before.
