QLIPP Tennis sensor review

Hi guys, the people from Qlipp sent me their sensor to check it out. I know that on this forum are few reviews on the Qlipp sensor, but this is my opinion.
I have been playing with the sensor almost a month. I'm playing with the Wilson Burn FST 95.

1. The Package
The Qlipp tennis sensor comes in a very small, but enough big box. You will find the sensor attached into a smaller packing inside. Also, the box will include a usb cable for charging.

2. Putting the sensor on the racket
For the first time putting the sensor on the racket it seems a little bit hard, but later you got used to it. Unfortunately, every time when you want to charge the sensor you will need to take it off the racket. But you can buy a L-shaped usb charger from Qlipp site, which will make the charging easier.

3. Qlipp app
Qlipp app seems to be very nice in terms of design and efficiency. The app has updates, and the people from Qlipp are looking to give their best to their customers.
The results of your play will be shown in a very nice way on the app. There will be many diagrams to show your certain stroke. Qlipp will show you almost every stroke correct, but except few false detected strokes. I have spoken with them in matter of this problems and they said they are going to update the app soon.


4. Qlipp on court
Qlipp weight is 8g. For me this isn't a big problem, but for someone it may be because 8g isn't the same in the dampener position or 8 grams in the handle or head. I didn't notice any problems with the sensor. Plays very nice, but the dampening could be better. Now in February, Qlipp is releasing a rubber cover for more dampening. I'll look forward to test it.

5. Overall
I think that Qlipp is a really nice gadget to modern tennis game. I know that there are many other sensors on the market on which you need to put the sensor on the racket handle, but Qlipp made first the sensor as a dampener and I really like their idea. I hope that Qlipp will take care on the strokes issue and the dampening.

Once again, I'd like to thank Qlipp for giving me a opportunity to play with their sensor.

I had it for about a year now.
Had 2 replacements and getting a 3rd replacement (they should be sending soon) this time will be with the rubber outer casing I believe.
I agree with all your points.
Great app and sensor. Calculates everything you.
My 2 issues was
1. Keeps getting disconnected after awhile.
2. Not sturdy enough
3. Too heavy.

I will see when they send the new one out to me

I just had it two days ago. I found it extremely hard to attact/remove. I have to use a pen and ruler to put the string out of the knobs (follow the tutorial is dead-end to me)
When i tested it by doing volley to the wall, the sensor only counted 50-60%.
I found sensor only counted the shot that impact pretty hard on the string.
Do you guys have this problem?

They are about to send me also the rubber casing. My device never got disconnected as I hold my phone always in my bag (which is open) and the bag stays normal on the court.

For me it's pretty easy to attach it. As said above, I had problem for the first time and never again. I watched the tutorial and that's it pretty much. And I don't have those problems which you listed.

Mine kept disconnecting as well, and the good guys at qlipp sent me a replacement.

The sounds it makes made me give up on it though. It didn't bother me at first, but after a while I couldn't stand it.

I was going to sell my replacement, but if the upcoming rubber casing will fix the noise issue I might give it another go.

I believe the sound can be turned off in settings as well as the light.

Does the weight bother you guys? A side from the thug disconnecting?

Hit a session with it... felt awkward when serving. Its somehow slow me down when im about to hit a serve.
Kind of mis-calculate on some shots but overall, 7/10 :)

It's due to the weight of the sensor. I can't use it on matches. It does make me hit harder but I make more unforced errors.
It is good for training and hitting sessions due to the weight of the thing.

I was very disappointed with new tennis sensor Qlipp


I play in Brazil , arrived the sensor I was full of expectation with my purchase and happy.


Chapter 1: it is difficult to fit into the strings or take out


chapter 2:when I hit the ball the noise seems like the racket is broken and the racket swing was very strange


Chapter 3 :I used it 3 times

the second time he lost the signal even close and did not measure


chapter 4 :all 3 times I used the finishing rubber around came flying to the first strokes I beat


chapter 5 :do not measure service or volleys,for this sensor there are only right(forehands and backhand) or left strokes


chapter 6 :The measured speed is wrong, I never hit a forehand 157km or 97 miles


chapter 7 : big mistake, because I do not have memory I have to leave the phone close or maybe in my pocket while I'm playing


I had and have base of comparison with sensor Zepp and Sony


I live in Brazil for me and much harder to buy, I have to import and the customs here are cruel without mentioning the cost gets 3 times the price


I really did not like the sensor I'm not satisfied with my purchase I want to know if I can return and refund
 
I find that it does not record the correct kind of shot/spin very often. It almost never records serves as serves and records spin and forehand/backhand incorrectly.

Beyond that, the analysis really is not useful. Even if it was always correct I have no idea if the shots were good ones or poor ones.

I stopped using it. I ordered an In/Out device, which I am hopeful will be more useful.

I participated in the crowd funding with the highest hopes. Sadly, my experience and description of the Qlipp's quality and performance is very succinct: POS.

Qlipp is a very bad sensor. The developers are extremely reluctant to contact in case of defective product. I have more than a month can not get a clear answer. My sensor loses the connection after each hard shot (e.g. - first serve). And it's not a Bluetooth problem, it is a problem of the sensor. The quality of his workmanship. On my claim there is no clear answer from the developer. Requirements the replacement, repair or refund are ignored. In addition, a sensor (when it is working, i.e., for slow shots) recognize shots very bad. For example, the serve takes over a forehand. It is very bad works as a vibration damper. It very much changes the feeling of the racket and the ball. I do not advise to buy it..

Hey, guys from Qlipp! Are you alive at all? Donny Soh does not answer the letters. I can not solve the problem of a defective sensor for several months already! Guys, you just need to replace it! This is a simple solution to the problem! You have to be responsible for the product that you are selling.

This is a garbage device and app, why do I need to create or signin with a google/fb account to use it on the app?
