Smart-rackets: what if, one day, your pala knew you better than you did?

Le paddle is evolving at a crazy speed. Between the surfaces , the game formats , And snowshoe materials , everything is changing… but a revolution could well come through another channel: the data .

Le tennis has already taken a decisive step in terms of embedded technology . Some brands like Babolat have been offering for several years snowshoes ou sensors able to measure the type of strike , the ball speed , or the impact point on the sieve . This information is then transmitted to a application mobile which allows track its performance over time .

La Babolat Play Pure Drive , for example, was one of the first to propose this kind of analysis. Then came the PIQ sensor , to be fixed on the handle, which pushes the technical monitoring . Sony , for its part, has imagined a discreet sensor which synchronizes keystrokes with videos to see his shots again like on TV.
In other words, the technology exists , it works, and it already fits into the players' routine . Which opens the way to a natural adaptation in the world of padel .
