Top Tennis Gadgets to Improve Your Game

Gadgets are permeating every sector and tennis is no different. We’re not talking gadgets simply for gadget’s sake. Rather, pieces of tech which can help you to improve your performance. Just as with any other process, recording stats, finding trends and adjusting accordingly can help you to raise the bar. If you’re looking to step up your performance, then turning to tech could be the way forward.

Gadgets have revolutionised many sectors. Just look at mobile e-commerce in the retail sector or the increase in mobile bingo? Retailers like Macy’s or sites such as bingo-apps.co.uk certainly haven’t hurt themselves by embracing new tech. Whilst recreational sport is by definition supposed to be fun, who says that it’s not more fun when you win? To do this, you may need to think in a more analytical way, or let these gadgets do it for you.

Babolat Play Connected

Babolat have developed tennis rackets with sensors inside the handle. The sensor tracks metrics, which you can then view by downloading their specially developed app. There’s even a community section, which allows you to share your progress with other members. This kind of tech is no longer just for the professionals!

You can expect a host of stats at your fingertips when using this piece of kit. These include longest rally, length of time that a ball in in play, an estimation of the energy spent and shots per minute. It’ll even give you info on individual shots.

Zepp Tennis Swing Analyser

Players have a choice of two different mounts when opting to use this motion sensor training system. It’ll attach to any tennis racket using the racket mount. Or, if you plan on using it for a single racket then go for the pro mount. Players can track different types of strokes and the power generated during each. You can also track power generated during the whole game. However, in our opinion, this gadget is all about the 3D serving feature which provides you with a rendering of your serve.

Sony Smart Tennis Sensor

This Sony sensor can be fixed to the bottom of your tennis racket. The Bluetooth device will then track your performance, which you can view on the accompanying app. Wilson and Yonex were included in the design process, along with several other big names to ensure that the sensor is a secure fit. Sony has compiled a list of compatible rackets. The sensor can pick up multiple different swing types and will give you access to detailed data about each. The Smart Tennis Sensor includes a live video feature where your records become video footage.

The technology available to help players improve their tennis game is extremely impressive. Each of the above has its own merits, with all three boasting at least one unique feature. You’ll receive a host of intricate, yet easy to read data on your performance from each of these devices. In fact, these gadgets may even have you wondering how you ever got along without them.
