Personal racquet motion sensors

Bought the following to try out after reading the marketing claims and some reviews on the internet. Hence will not be going be reviewing in detail since there are such information on the internet. Will only inform of the information the other reviews left out or did not update on.

Was a customer and not in any way affiliated with the company

The personal motion sensor I purchased and since sold

It's actually quite a useful tool. Provides many statistics such as smash speed, count of your various strokes at a time interval on a date and even provides an overview of your game for the time period when the racquet was active.

Battery life on the sensor itself is not good if you use it for real time monitoring thru bluetooth. The bluetooth real-time monitoring is only usable for a very short distance only eg roughly about 2meters only.

Mobile data is a pre-req before any of the results can be displayed on your smartphone as the app has to sent the data collected to their server for processing.


Additional CONS are:-

Will not tell you if you are hitting the sweetspot.

Will not tell you if your swing or lifts were sending the shuttlecock to the correct point on the court.


Reason is the data presented are computed from various motion sensors in the unit itself (like those on your smartphone). Hence it can only compute details from the swing of your racquet eg swing speed during a smash, count of number of lifts, etc.

Furthermore no matter how hard we tried, the swing will not exceed 240 KM/H.

An annoying byproduct from the app is that it keeps repeated the same advise on how to improve your game eg you should be smashing more irregardless.

Guess that's why we still need coaches...
