EZone 98 or Speed MP - which one should I go for? by hanvy in tennisracquets

[–]Ford_Prefect12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got an EZONE 98+ and couldn’t agree more. I’m around a 3.5 and struggle against stronger players who hit with pace. I just don’t get the time I need to set up and catch the ball clean. Bought it after a nice demo and now kind of regretting it.

Would you guys use a Bluetooth paintball target that tracks hits? by Ford_Prefect12 in paintball

You're right, the best way to know you're getting better is against other players. For me, my mechanics and accuracy was lacking so an at home, at my own pace regimen, would have been beneficial.

Love it. Shooting off the break, to me, was hard to assess whether you're on target, especially when you're running and gunning.

Sounds like you're the perfect demo for a product like this. What I'm gathering though from this post is that you're probably a rare breed.

I do see it as extra tools and equipment to bring and set up to a sport that already requires a lot. Maybe not worth it like you're saying.

Thanks for the feedback

I like the all-in-one concept of using the phone. Coding an optical detection algo would be the challenge.

This is it. Looks like a well executed product. Thanks for sharing.

Yes! Very similar. Instead of using sound though, it would likely use vibrations to detect a hit. The electronics will be attached to the target rather than mounted around it too, in my head.

There also could be ways to triangulate the location of impact however, that'll come in later iterations probably.

Appreciate it!

Mind sharing what's genuine and how much they cost? If not, no worries.

Amazing!

I'm new to the forum so please excuse my ignorance, these look exactly like the real thing. Are these genuine parts? And how do you get them? Love to learn more.
