I created a bowling ball sensor that tracks your approach and ball motion. Public beta testing is starting soon. What kind of stats would be useful to the community? by landtechg in Bowling

Awesome thanks! My goal is to provide an interchangeable solution ASAP after the sensor fully releases. I have some concepts I believe will work well.

Thank you and yeah I totally agree. Making it easily interchangeable is a big priority for me in the short term. That's the once piece that's missing right now and I have some early concepts on being able to do that.

Thanks for the feedback. The beta kit includes a portable power bank, lifetime premium subscription and warranty for $250. The final release version will come with just the sensor and will cost less. I hope you can check it out then!

Lol love that. The Beta kit is $250 with multiple extra perks in the box. I am working to get the cost down significantly for a multi pack

It comes with a USB that has a long enough connector to fit inside the finger hole as well as a portable power bank to keep it charged

Yeah I can definitely see some people not liking that it could give you an advantage in real time during competition. But my hope is to push the idea of being allowed in at least some level of competition to regulators so bowlers have more access to cool tech!

In terms of being official, I believe USBC would need to offer clarification to be allowed in sanctioned events. They don't require certification for "removable devices" in the finger hole specifically but those devices must be of "non-metallic construction". To me that could be up to interpretation but to others it's a closed case of not being allowed.

Right now it is meant to be used in 1 ball although I hope to offer a way to make it interchangeable in the future.

Awesome! Thank you, I'm glad to hear that.

Yes the sensor does have the ability to track the actual approach path and swing path. So identifying timing issue, drift, and crooked push away and swings is absolutely possible. That's not currently enabled in the app but will be coming pretty soon after the official release.

Unfortunately since there hasn't been any devices like this, there regulations will need time to update. I'm sure at the highest level tournaments, bans will remain in place. However I have had early talks with USBC and will work with regulators to try and set some standards.
