Claim 0:
1. A method of measuring a reaction time and a swing time of a user by measuring a speed in which the user can react and swing a bat into a contact zone and make contact with a ball, comprising the steps of:
a) emitting a stimulus from a timer,
i) wherein the timer comprises a clock for measuring time, and a microphone for receiving an external information,
ii) wherein the clock starts measuring time automatically when the stimulus is emitted,
iii) wherein the stimulus is selected from the group consisting of an audible signal and a visual signal, and
iv) wherein the stimulus is adjustable for sensitivity control;

b) stopping the clock upon receiving the external information by the microphone,
i) wherein the external information is a sound of the bat making contact with the ball,
ii) wherein the microphone is adjustable for sensitivity to audio input to filter out ambient noise so that the timer is not stopped prematurely by the ambient noise,
iii) wherein the sensitivity of the microphone detects sounds of approximately 50 decibels to approximately 140 decibels, and
iv) wherein the timer comprises a reset to re-zero the clock to begin taking measurement at time zero when a new stimulus is emitted;

c) recording a measurement of the clock, wherein the measurement is the period of time elapsed from the step of emitting the stimulus from the timer to the step of stopping the clock;
d) storing the measurement of the time elapsed to a memory in the timer;
e) displaying the measurement on a display of the timer, wherein the timer displays the measurement of the period of time elapsed from the step of emitting the stimulus from the timer to the step of stopping the clock; and
f) transmitting the measurement to another device, whereby the reaction time and the swing time of the user is measured.
