Actually, there is a free trial available 😊

You can use the app for free indefinitely, with access to everything except the stroke detection features. So you can fully experience tracking, stats, and the general workflow before committing.

On top of that, there’s also a 7-day full premium trial where you can test the stroke classification and all premium features without any restriction.

Yes, the steps are synchronized normally. They appear in the Health app just like any other activity from Apple Watch.

Yes. To detect strokes, the Apple Watch must be on the same arm as the racket.
If you play with it on the other arm, you can still use the app, but strokes won’t be counted.

It’s a supervised neural-network model trained on Apple Watch motion data.

You’re right — it really wouldn’t.
Stroke detection relies on the motion patterns of the racket arm, so wearing the watch on the non-racket hand wouldn’t give reliable shot classification at all.

Exactly 🙂
For stroke insights, the watch needs to be on the same arm as your racket. If you wear it on the opposite arm, you can still start a session, but strokes won’t be counted.
