X Factor Technology is dedicated to creating objective timing solutions for baseball and softball players. 3x patents granted and still counting.

We filed for patent on our phase-specific GRF analysis software. It measures torque timing, force vector direction, shear and sequence continuity across any torque-oriented movement. This eliminates decades of measurement bias. #Biomechanics #SportsTech

Stop chasing chaos drills. We've written an article highlighting that movement-solutions are already wired into the brain. True baseball skill comes from reading, reacting and timing, not rolling around the ground. Read here →
I’ve been diving into a lot of youth pedagogy and constraints-based learning lately. We’ve taken the “free play and creativity” idea so far in S&C that now coaches run random drills purely for optics. No clue if they transfer, but they sure make a good TikTok/reel.

Stupid people think stupid things: Even if “bat” were read narrowly, the app substitutes arms/hands as a "functional equivalent". Under the Doctrine of Equivalents (Graver Tank v. Linde, 339 U.S. 605 (1950); Warner-Jenkinson v. Hilton Davis, 520 U.S. 17 (1997)), it performs the

He thinks (dangerous) he found a 'work-around. He didn't. There is a reason I have 3 patents covering essentially the same two things, and it wasn't redundancy. See: "Functional Equivalent" I don't make up the law as I go along. He's learning that the hard way, I guess.

Contemporaneous with filing for patent protection on our force-plate torque analytics, we also filed to protect our baseball video analysis system. The program brings NFL-level breakdown and precision into post at bat analysis. https://t.co/AvJeBjBXAJ

Force plates already record the signals that matter. The problem is the software. It strips them down to weight-shift and COP traces. Our patent-pending framework extracts torque-relevant data, separating pressure from contribution, drift from true rotation

Current force plate software reduces rich data to simple weight-shift stories. My patent-pending system takes a different path. By showing torque direction, friction, and contribution, it turns raw output into clear, objective analysis that replaces theory with fact.

The only thing our force plate software is in competition with is theory, which is the point of its design. Our software is an overlay for existing systems, not in any way in competition with existing software. https://t.co/p86EJK1qAp

Are you a data forward organization or institution that unwittingly puts theory ahead of data? Data can convincingly support a narrative, even if the theory behind it is unsound. Read about this on our website.

Weight shift is simply a transfer of mass. But stored weight conversion is what creates rotation. The problem is interpretations are often built on a poor cue, shift weight, and then turned into...

Swing instruction says “shift weight,” but what hitters really need is to convert stored weight into torque. Even if the weight shift looks like weight-back rotation, it’s actually front-leg rotation off a brace. True rotational power only comes from the rear leg’s torque.

Power in the swing isn’t from “shifting weight” back to front. That’s just mass in motion. Real force comes from storing weight and converting it through rear-foot torque into rotation. Shift-to-brace is late and inefficient. Torque priming is early and efficient. #BaseballTech

I would love to do a livestream or podcast with either or both of them. You can always pretend to be stupid, but you can't ever get away with playing smart.

@Chapel14Billy Both Rich and Ron LOL at how I don't understand what the LQ app measures. They challenge me to explain, I accept. Then- crickets.

The Original Launch Quickness (LQ APP) promo. What is it the app is measuring again? And you would like to know why captures of 0.008 sec are impossible? I'm free to explain. And @Chapel14Billy this definition is not the definition acceleration.
