A trainer for practicing a proper cricket bat swing is shaped like a conventional cricket bat. A cavity with parallel side walls and toe and shoulder end walls extends through the trainer from its face to its swell. A weight freely reciprocates on a shaft aligned on the longitudinal axis of the cavity. The toe end of the cavity blocks sliding of the weight at the “sweet spot” of the trainer. When the trainer is swung in cricket bat fashion, the weight slides distally from the shoulder end wall and strikes the toe end wall of the cavity, providing audible indication of whether the contact of a conventional cricket bat with a bowled cricket ball would have occurred before, at or after the optimal ball-striking moment.

A mobile camera-based system and method provides real-time analysis and feedback on baseball swing performance using computer vision and machine learning techniques. The system comprises a mobile application that captures high-frame-rate video of a hitter's swing using one or two smartphone cameras. A custom YOLO-based pose estimation model detects and localizes key points on the bat in each video frame. The extracted bat trajectories are then processed and input into an XGBoost machine learning model to predict critical swing metrics like bat speed, attack angle, and time to contact. The predicted metrics are displayed to the user through intuitive visualizations in the app's interface within seconds of the swing, enabling instant feedback and adjustment. Swing data is stored locally on the device and can be uploaded to a central server for further analysis, aggregation, and reporting.

A test fixture for identifying the sweet spot of a bat includes one or more vibration absorbers, which may include cuffs, caps, and cuff / accelerometer combinations. An impact mass driven by motors strikes the bat at a series of locations along the barrel of the bat while the magnitude of vibration at the handle of the bat is measured by an accelerometer. The sweet spot is identified based on the minimum of the maximum measured acceleration values. The vibration absorbers inhibit gross movement of the bat and accelerate quiescence of oscillatory vibration of the bat between strikes, thereby reducing test time and increasing accuracy.
