Resetting the sensor is used when the sensor is not working at normal capacity. This feature is a last resort and is only used with irregularities in the sensor. Examples of irregularities are:
- Staying Connected.
- Incorrect Metrics.
- Videos sync issues.
- Uploading issues.
- Any other app + sensor irregularity.
To complete a reset the sensor has to be connected.

There are two different Reset types:

This reset places the sensor back into the factory default. This reset will not affect any app setting.
Reset Sensor or Clear
This reset places the sensor back into the factory defaults and also deletes any pending swings that have not been uploaded to the app. This reset is used when the app is having upload issues. This reset will not affect any app setting.
After the completion of the reset. Please test the sensor to see if the performance has improved. If still having issues, please let customer support know.
Any type of quick swings where the sensor isn’t pausing between the swings will created invalid swings or missing swings. Please make sure to pause two or three seconds between swings.
Usually, younger players having problems reaching speeds of 20 mph to register swings. If you are having problem hitting this speed, create a new bat in the app and make the length of the bat an inch or two longer to create faster bat speeds.
Please take additional swings using a baseball. Air swings are not supported.
A certain thing must happen to use the sensor. One of the main items that players must remember is contact is required to get a metric reading from the sensor. The user must make contact with a ball to get metrics. Air swings will not register a swing unless that feature is turn on (Only supported on Blast Golf).
