RevFire Showcases New Baseball & Softball Technology at SGMA Show
Boulder, Colorado; June 11, 2007 – The RevFire(tm) is a technical breakthrough product that
measures pitch spin rate as well as speed. In baseball and softball, strong spin is required throw a
deceptive curveball, slider, sinker, screwball, or fastball with ‘movement’. Developed by an
aerospace engineer, the affordable RevFire is easier to use than radar guns and provides a
significant advantage in pitcher training and evaluation. The RevFire will be available for
demonstration at the June 2007 Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association Spring Market Show in
Las Vegas.
In the January 26, 2007 issue of Collegiate Baseball, Coach John Pinkman, director of the Pinkman
Baseball Academy, noted that with the RevFire, “Pitchers get instant feedback for more effective
training.” Fastpitch Softball Hall of Famer and ESPN TV analyst Coach Cindy Bristow of
SoftballExcellence.com also uses the RevFire and states “The RevFire, to me, is the single greatest
piece of pitching equipment to improve your pitcher’s pitches.”
The deceptive curveball pitch has been studied and mathematically described by many scientists
over the last half century. Their mathematical equations are consistent; more spin creates more
curve. According to Mike White, a member of the USA National Men’s Fastpitch Softball team, “I can
envision RPS [Revolutions Per Second] being as common in judging pitchers in the future as MPH is
today.”
RevFire Corporation is a young company headed by the RevFire inventor and founder, Dave Marinelli.

Product of the Year award, is available at www.revfire.com.
