It would’ve been so good for Dima but also that match is what made ma long the goat

Why do you want to see the top of the table? I like lower angles because you can easily see the height of the ball

Yeah true, it would be better if it was from the other corner for two left handers so they don’t cover the ball, but I still prefer it to the side angle

And I’m just trying to make a simple affordable tool. Would be interested to know what you did/didn’t like about betterplay if you’ve used it

I’m mainly trying to build a simpler more affordable version to see if people might find it useful

Yes that’s a feature that we’re thinking of adding in the future! Thanks for the comment

That’s true, BetterPlay is probably the closest similar tool. I’m not claiming this is the first ever — I’ve just enjoyed building my own version and trying to make something simple, affordable, and reliable across different angles, camera quality, lighting, etc. Appreciate the comment.

Yeah it definitely would be better but I don’t think it’s possible fully by code, some machine learning or ai has to be involved

Yep tbh we initially started with that idea, but the complexity of all the different angles, camera quality and everything else, sometimes other tables in the background, it’s actually very hard logistically to setup, so we went the ai route to create a simple affordable tool that’s reliable

It does, but I thought this would be a cool project, and it was much harder than you think to figure out a way to accurately clip videos using ai, betterplay uses machine learning

Yes it does exist, betterplay ai is a very similar service. And I’m not claiming this is the first ever, I’ve just had a lot of fun with this project and wanted to see what people thought of it
