Benefits of technology

[0003]In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, there is provided a device that is electronically configured to count and analyze tennis strokes. Said stroke-counting feature of said device enables a player or coach to compare performance among players at comparable levels and to make comparisons with higher performance goals. Said counter maintains a count of the total number of impacts a tennis racket makes with a tennis ball ma

Problems solved by technology

Currently tennis coaches and players have no automated technique or device for counting each contact of a tennis racket against a tennis ball, and determining the amount of power generated by each contact.
Further, no known automated device for keeping track of the types of strokes utilized with each contact exists.
These approaches are time consuming, awkward, and inefficient.

Abstract

An electronic device that automatically counts and measures power of the impacts of a tennis ball with a tennis racket during play. The housing of said device comprises a mounting apparatus which is mechanically configured so that a player using said device will be able to easily mount said device on a tennis racket or on the player's arm. Said device is electronically configured so that a player using said device is able to keep a count of the type of tennis strokes that are struck by the player during the course of play. Said device is further configured so that it is able to count the total number of strokes hit by a tennis player. Said device is further electronically configured so that a player using said device is able to determine the amount of force that a tennis ball makes against a tennis racket with each contact with a tennis ball. Said device is further configured with a display that will allow for a player using said device to read information provided by said device.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to a device that is capable of counting the number of contacts made between a tennis racket and a tennis ball. Said device is further configured to be capable of measuring the power generated by each contact of said tennis ball with said tennis racket, and the type of shot that was made.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There has been a need for a device that will allow for the counting of the number of times a tennis racket impacts a tennis ball during play, and the power developed by each impact. The information garnered from such a device would be invaluable to both a tennis coach and student, and tennis players in general. Currently tennis coaches and players have no automated technique or device for counting each contact of a tennis racket against a tennis ball, and determining the amount of power generated by each contact. Further, no known automated device for keeping track of the types of strokes utilized wit...
