Can we talk about metered pitching?
-
Is there a problem with metered pitching? It seems like on good and perfect releases the ball is consistently way far away from the intended target. I’ve also noticed that the ball will hang down the middle too often on good releases.
Has Sds addressed this or have any plans to do so in the future? As of right now you are less likely to hang a pitch on classic with a mistake pitch then you are on good or perfect on meter. I feel like meter should offer better control then classic or pulse but maybe that’s just me.

I use Meter and have had no problems, so far this season.
-
I find that hard to believe tbh
-
I only use meter and the only trouble I have this year is with sliders, they consistently go over the middle despite good timing on the meter.
-
I've noticed a difference online vs. offline. Meter seems far less forgiving online.

This has been a thing for years. Buy I've gotten pretty good at judging where pitches will end up 80% of the time.
One thing to try is make sure you're going full max on the meter. Do not stop in the yellow at all, unless you're purposely throwing an offspeed pitch low and away, like a slider, slurve, curve, etc.
Going full red usually ends up yielding more accurate results than if u stop the meter at yellow or before.
However, it's still less perfect than analog or pinpoint masters.

I’ve used nothing but meter since it was a thing, and not finding this year to be any different save that we’re not using 99s, so pitch location will be a bit more erratic…

This right here. Not using 99s almost definitely affects the control

It’s no different than usual though echo the comment on hanging sliders. Have 20 Event Wins snd finished BR program so decent online sample size at this point.
