WIN Reality: SwingAI+SmartPark

I had high hopes for Win reality and was testing it out for our city youth league as a potential training tool. I tried for 3 months but it was unplayable and support was not helpful. The bat would not stay in place and would float all over the screen. We tried just the controller, the short bat, and the bat attachment but you could only get a couple decent swings in before the bat drifted off into space and you couldn’t do anything but quit. After several contacts with support they finally said it was a problem with the meta 3 firmware and there was no ETA and gave me a refund on my annual subscription. Too bad this didn’t work out. It seems cool when it works but it’s not worth the frustration.

I have used the virtual pitching app in WIN over the past 10 months and continue to be impressed with the app. The near real time feedback is great to provide to my daughter while she’s hitting. Another nice option is the app allows a wide area of pitches for a more realistic feel, a good pitcher generally throws a ball it two off the zone to get a batter to chase. One of the best product available outside of ProBatter or Allstar virtual pitching machines which are hard to locate at a facility and limited by schedule of facilities.

I wish you could use TWO Quests simultaneously - Catcher / Umpire / Coach etc. the cast to phone/tv is very LATE and unusable to coach/help young players with zone/timing. I’ll resubscribe when these and more options come. Another would be to add FIELDERS !!! Anyone can HIT the ball, but can you get ON BASE ? Flaws: I have the bat attachment - bat is all over the place sometimes it’s nonexistent. I’m RIGHT on it and it doesn’t hit the ball. Says I’m EARLY - NO WAY !!! I was a .741 in HS and can’t connect 80-90% of the time and i KNOW I would be hitting it in real life. (But my 8 year son hits everything smh) At least fix the bat floating/timing/connection glitch. It’s super annoying.
