I read once in an article that many professional tennis players take an energy bar usually one hour before their match, and that this bar is usually high in carbs and low in proteins. During the match you see them take energy gels that mainly contain electrolytes and carbs that are especially...

btw, I meant a review in the App Store after using it first :D!

ServeSpeed V3 Hi Y'all! Some where asking if V3 was out. Well it has been since the first of January! Was pretty busy and haven't been on the forum these days. I decided to make it FREE for some time! ;) So now is the time to get your copy! All I ask in return is ...'Please leave a...

Thanks, in the good direction!

I see lots of people who seem to know their speed. How do you all measure your serve speed now? Have you tried the ServeSpeed App for IOS?

Placement is tracked and hopefully in the next update i can come with a nice view that shows all your placement and improvements.

@Leed: If you are good at hitting spin serves and use it often than indeed your average goes down. What I am looking for is the average over as many matches as possible but also as recent as possible so for example all 2013 matches so far. Any links for the 'Posted many times in the past'? If it...

Hi, I am looking for a good and reliable source for statistics on the serve speed of the top ATP and WTA players (starting with the top 20 or so). I need the average speed and their fastest serve. Does anyone know were I can find these statistics? i did find this post...

You can record from any view, but you need to have the server + the landing location of the ball in your video. Easiest way to do this is to record from were the opponent would be standing. You can press the INFO button in the recorder view of the app, here you can find detailed instructions on...

Just to let you know out here, ServeSpeed v2.2 has been available for the last weeks. Some Major improvements: -Added grid overlay on top of the service box, 1x1 foot. -By dragging the ball, the distances from each line will be shown. Since there was some discussion on the accuracy determining...

As explained in the previous comment, moving the spot where the ball hits (lands on) the court horizontally almost doesn't have any effect on the speed. Moving the ball 1 foot in the vertical direction does by 1.6 miles of error (see previous comment). So the 10 miles you talk about would mean...

Yes it is true that there is some human error and that this affects the accuracy, but it’s not as bad as you think. Imagine you serve from the baseline to the service box line, which is exactly 60 feet. Now you move the player 1 foot to the right because of human error. If we use...

Recording the tv might work, i actually havent tested it, though it will be less accurate because tv's in general are 30 fps. If the input is 30 fps which you will record with 60 fps i suspect you will loose some accuracy. I did test the app very well with real videos from the australian open...

Great you are asking! i have looked into it already, though there are some struggles with android like the support for 60fps camera and so on. My first plans are to make the iPhone App even better with sound detection and some other great updates. So after that hopefully i can look into android.

Thanks Harry! really appreciate such a positive review! I am sure lots of people will find it very useful :) https://itunes.apple.com/app/servespeed/id581908085

Harry, great to hear you like it so much! You would do me a huge favor if you could post this review in the App Store. If you get a chance of course :)

Thanks Harry! Yes I am using almost the same math as shown on that website. It’s a great explanation if you wanna know more about how it’s calculated! And yes you can calculate it all yourself but for 3 dollars really? It’s quite a lot of work to do it yourself. And if you’re like me you...

I think the App on first startup asks for permission to your ‘Photo library’. This is only because it wants to save the recorded videos there. If you pressed [don’t allow] it might crash trying to access a video that was not saved to your library (i'll make sure i'll check that in the next...

Hi ArthurX, great you bought the App! I have to admit that I haven’t tested the app on ipads, just iphones. On the iPhone everything works fine. In the next update I’ll try to test it on the ipad and fix the error. To your question about cricked. No this App is just for tennis! The distance...

The new version is available :) ! Just look for "ServeSpeed" in the App Store Or click this link: https://itunes.apple.com/app/servespeed/id581908085

Yes!, all correct except for me not taking the videos, wish I could have been there (hopefully next year though!) . I got the videos through someone that I know. Apple is taking its time :S , bit more patience and 1.2 should be there... b.t.w. if people get a chance to records some more...

The instruments i use for testing the accuracy are videos from the australian open where the professional radar gun shows the speed in the end. I currently only tested 9 videos and these are the test results: The results are from ServeSpeed V1.2 (in a few days available in the App Store)...

A few more days and version 1.2 will be available! ServeSpeed version 1.2 is committed to the App Store! Just waiting for Apple to accept. Most important updates: - Uses algorithms to calculate your initial serve speed (ISS), which corresponds to the speed shown on TV (previous version only...

hey, you can sign up now also at www.tennisservespeed.com and watch a video explaining the whole thing. as people might have noticed, its also possible from within the App. :)

Thanks to some of you that bought the app already! :D it would be cool if you can give a positive rating :) at least i havent seen anything negative yet so that hopefully means you are happy with it. if you are looking for an original gift for your tennisfriends these upcoming holidays you...

I am happy to inform you all that the ServeSpeed App got accepted and is AVAILABLE! :) Here's the link that should take you straight to it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/servespeed/id581908085 If you sign up within the App you automatically get send a video that gives you the best tips to...

hey guys, I had some time to make a website promoting the App and since i committed the App already i took the poll offline. I of course should have put a 'SOON AVAILABLE' sign on the website right away since the App is still under review by apple. Please bear with me till its available. The...

hey guys, the app will cost 2.99. so if you can afford some tennisballs you should be able to buy this too. i could not make it free, the idea is if i do make some money with it to keep improving the app in future updates. @BHic: the more people buy this app, the more chance i'll look into...

Hi guys! I submitted the app to the AppStore just now! It still needs to be reviewed by apple, dont know how long that takes. But soon it will be available :) ! Its called, who could have guessed: "ServeSpeed". I'll let you know as soon as it really is available. Just happy that i made it...
