Play Pure Drive - smart tennis racket for everyone

Professional tennis players like Raphael Nadal or Novak Djokovic work out the pitches and shots using computerized racquets with a huge number of sensors. Such devices are very expensive and, as a rule, only famous sportsmen or just wealthy tennis fans can afford them.


The French company Babolat hopes to change this situation with its Play Pure Drive racket. This high-tech device, aimed at a wide range of buyers, includes several sensors and gyroscopes, which read the parameters of impact. The racket is capable of catching and fixing which area of ​​the net the ball hit, at what angle and with what force the blow was struck.

All this data Play Pure Drive transmits via Bluetooth to a smartphone with special software. The tennis player will be able to look at the parameters of his strike and understand his mistakes. The app will give you tips on how to improve your skills and learn how to play better. As with most smart fitness devices, there are social functions in Play Pure Drive. Their skills and options can be compared with other users, as well as with professional tennis players who participated in racket testing. Among them, for example, is Rafael Nadal.
The racket itself, despite the complex structure and the abundance of additional details, weighs exactly the same weight as the regular racket, which athletes use in competitions. So training with Play Pure Drive will be no different from the usual game, with the exception of a detailed analysis of each component of the skill of a tennis player.
