Tennis Warehouse: Babolat POP (wristband sensor) Playtest!!

[haqq777]

Thank you for sharing your results.
I'm also posting the results of my younger boy from today's session.

You can see the speed is a bit higher there (I set measure unit to 86MPH) but the PIQScore is considerably lower (7945).
I suppose the difference is in Spin. To be sure, can you also show your distribution of an average PIQScore components (Speed+Spin+Style) - such as on theimage below?

Absolutely. I am not sure how to get to this component screen you shared though. Can you tell me how? Is it under Activity tab?

No, the tab PIQSCORE (2nd from top) and scroll down when it is shown

Ah, okay I knew that. I thought there was a component breakdown by individual sessions.

Here is for my last 6 sessions:

Would point out that these scores also fluctuate a lot depending on last few opponents I have hit with. If I am hitting with an opponent who is baseline grinder and hits a lot of topspin, that results in me hitting topspin rally balls, and that increases the avg score components.

Hitting with flatter players who don't rally balls much and end points quicker, the score doesn't go up as much. But usually this score hovers between 8500-8700 on avg for me and depends on who I am hitting with.

@kimguroo @Scuoteguazza - working on this now, will report back ASAP. thanks for the heads up!

@kimguroo @Scuoteguazza I heard back from IT in France, and they want to know if you get an error message when you open the app, or does it just crash? If you get an error message, can you please screenshot it and post or dm me? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app? That can also help, so let me know. Thanks!

The highest I have gotten (Piq score leader board) was the 26th ranking... Love getting those emails...

I still get them every time I record my session!

 

[Archie]

I don't get these e-mails anymore for some reason...probably is a software error.

Josh, Thanks. I didn't get error messages. The app just crashes repeatedly. However, when I finally deleted and reinstalled the app it works the way it should. Wish I had thought of that sooner!

Glad to hear it! I should've thought of that too! Let me know if you have any further issues.

I wonder if anyone else has had this happen. I played twice on Wednesday of this week. For the first session the speed of my groundstrokes and serves was in the usual range. However, in the second session the average speed and maximum speed of my forehand, backhand and serve all were at least 20 mph higher. The maximum speed for all three strokes were above 100 mph! I seriously doubt that my strokes increased that much in an hour! Has anyone else seen this?

These wearables seem to have turned out to be a disaster....are they still being sold?

Only on reselling sites. It's a shame because I think the POP is a fun/helpful tool. I think it could have done well if they had packaged or marketed it better? For example, sell it with a wristband with a built-in slot. I always just slip mine underneath my wristband instead of using the strap it came with.

I managed to get a Pop on auction site and tried it out in a practice session.
I recorded the following forehands:-
185 Flat
15 Slice
1 Topspin
It doesn't seem accurate as I can hit (what I consider) quite a lot of topspin but Pop has them recorded as Flat. Wondereing if anyone else finds this or maybe i'm just not reaching the threshold?

I experienced the same. but maybe it is being compared to Nadal type topspin.
