TRACKON Sports Smart Ball

TRACKON turns one sensor core inside the ball into training you can act on.

MEASURE WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE A nine-axis inertial core sits at the centre of the ball and records spin rate, spin axis, impact and hang time at the moment of contact, then sends it to your phone in half a second.

THREE SPORTS, ONE CORE Football is fully supported. Basketball and bowling are in beta. Each sport has its own drills, targets and judging rules.

• Football: five kick types with target spin ranges, aim points and form cues
• Basketball: jump shot, lay-up, free throw and three-point drills, judged on release consistency rather than a fixed number
• Bowling: straight, stroker, tweener and cranker, diagnosed from rev rate and axis tilt

TRAINING THAT ADAPTS Ten attempts are enough to read your profile. From there the app sets stages, raises the target as you clear them, and gives you one cue at a time.

SEE THE PHYSICS The trajectory screen draws the path your spin creates on the right stage for your sport: goal and net, backboard and rim, or lane and pins. Replay it from the point of release at quarter speed.

PLAY A 3D game driven by your real shots, with a physics engine behind it.

RECORDS Every session is kept with trend charts, dispersion and badges. Export to CSV.

WHAT YOU NEED A TRACKON ball or core module, and a phone with Bluetooth.
