Laser time systems start at $200 and cost a band for top of the line. No excuse not to have that with the IPF.
I've attended 8 UM Pro Days....The NFL Scouts I saw..ALL had personal Hand held stop watches...Now granted, we're talking 96-2003....but that's what I saw....I was talking about this very subject with Hester a few months ago...NFL scouts coming to pro day with a laser or their stop watch?
Hand times are always faster than laser, coaches or whoever is holding the clock almost instinctively quick click.
The question I have is, is it expensive to get a laser time on a college campus? Do we have one for our track team?
I'm not sure I see the value in exaggerated 40's other than boosting player morale & potentially making them believe they're faster than they really are which idk exactly what that does for them on the field lol.

Yeah that’s what I’m saying it doesn’t make sense to even post it if it’s hand time lolHand times are always faster than laser, coaches or whoever is holding the clock almost instinctively quick click.

Are some players in better shape for Pro Days? It does not seem unusual read players improving after the combine. Especially players known for speed.

Exactly...and not to reiterate...I was told by more than one Professional Track Guy that the majority of HS (including some colleges) improperly use these devices....THANK YOU! I saw the same exact thing from 04/05 to 2008 & again ten years later when Tyree St. Louis came out.
We both know these hand held times are the norm & I don’t understand why so many are crying about the laser time.
Those in the know...know.
Agreed. Hand times are always going to be faster. Comparing to the combine is always going to be faster no matter what school you're from.Hand times are always faster than laser, coaches or whoever is holding the clock almost instinctively quick click.

IDK if a laser is needed. Guys should just realize that they're probably 1 tenth (.1) slower than they actually are. It's already factored in. IDK if they use a laser on their pro day or not. I'm sure NFL scouts have their own hand times and just factor it in.
Another thing to consider is the stage the players are on. At the NFL combine it's a challenge to run their best during such a hectic week which is why most guys run the 40 again at their pro day.

Sorry, but you are incorrect. Mike Mayock on the NFL Network has said in many a NFL combines that the the players are intentionally stressed to see how they perform under pressure. They have interviews at odd hours etc. It's designed to put them out of their comfort zone. So, yes some guys don't run well at the combine. Others do better than expected. We see it every year.They don't use a laser on their pro-day.
That last paragraph, just no. You've worked on running the 40 literally every single day leading up to the draft. You are getting technique training, starts, drive phase, etc. You as a player have never been as prepared to run a 40 in your lifetime. It isn't a challenge.
Even if you forget all of your work leading up to that moment and your nerves get the best of you, it's still just running. Something every single person has been doing since they could walk. Even then, that's your likely 40 time, it won't ever be better.
Then again what real substance would it add to have laser 40 times? Not gonna help catch tackle throw any better seems like a waste.Hand times are always faster than laser, coaches or whoever is holding the clock almost instinctively quick click.
