I want to measure the speed with sensors of the ball entering the hole. As a result of my work I measured the speed of the ball up to certain speeds with ultrasonic distance sensors. But the speeds I can measure are not enough for me. what do i do in the face of this situation? what do you suggest?
to probe a wide range of reasons for the use of ultrasonic distance sensor.
I have compared this type of product to my saloons close to the project. How does this tool work?
Decide how fast you need to need to measure ("up to certain speeds" is not a specification, nor is "not enough for me").
Then find a sensor that will react sufficiently quickly at those speeds.
Radar with an Arduino is likely to be expensive. Light gates may be more appropriate. A light gate has a light source(s) on one side and detectors on the other. The arduino times the time between the light being blocked on one sensor then the other.

Doppler radar.
the doppler radar works only on the x axis as far as I know, but I need a sensor that can work on the y axis.
the doppler radar Will it work properly on the y axis?

Here is a clue: Multi Sport Speed Radar

Light gates do not fit me because I want to scan the field

Hi,
Which ball?. Entering which hole?
Regards.
In OP you ask for a ball entering a hole - that's indeed where a light gate will work great. A single beam is enough when you know now big the ball is. Just measure how long the beam is broken and that gives the speed.
Then you ask about "scanning the field". A regular football/soccer field is really big, following a ball on a field that big is a major task. Some doppler radars won't do, for sure. Maybe you could mount a few cameras high above the field and try to track the ball that way, with some from the sides to get the third dimension.
