Abstract
A racket assembly may include a racket, and at least one sensor operatively coupled to the racket. The at least one sensor may be configured to generate a signal indicative of at least one parameter related to use of the racket. The racket assembly may also include a processor configured to receive the signal as an input and generate an output based on the signal.
Claims20
A method of enhancing performance in racket sports, the method comprising:
- sensing information related to use of a racket during use of the racket by a first player;
- storing the sensed information on the racket;
- transferring the sensed information to a electronic device;
- and
- displaying a performance comparison between the first player and a second player based on the information transferred and racket use data collected from a second player.
2 more elements
A method of enhancing performance in racket sports, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a central memory location, data collected by at least one sensor assembly operatively coupled to a first racket, the data being collected during use of the first racket by a first player;
- receiving, at the central memory location, data collected by at least one sensor assembly operatively coupled to a second racket, the data being collected during use of the second racket by a second player;
- calculating a performance comparison by comparing the data collected from the first player to data collected from the second player or to a predetermined ideal;
- and
- transmitting the performance comparison to an electronic device that is separate from the first and second rackets.

A method of enhancing performance in racket sports, the method comprising:
- sensing information related to use of a racket during use of the racket by a first player;
- storing the sensed information on the racket;
- downloading the sensed information to a mobile electronic device;
- and
- uploading the sensed information from the mobile electronic device to an Internet connected central memory location to allow the first player to compare player performance with at least a second player.
