With Babolat POP, the tennis equipment manufacturer takes on a big challenge, converting lovers of the yellow ball to the smart health connected bracelet.

If there is one thing that made people talk during Rolland-Garros, even more than Stan Wawrinka's pajamas, it is Rafael Nadal's smart health connected racket. The ex-world number 1 who has been experiencing a vacuum for a few months had caused a sensation with his new toy. The goal, give precise statistics on how the pro played so that he improves his forehand or his backhand. On paper, an attractive principle for the most sophisticated practitioners, but a little less for the general public. To please everyone, Babolat therefore takes up the challenge of offering a smart health connected bracelet dedicated to tennis.

Game, set and match

"Everything is in the wrist"Often used to say certain players, they don't think so well. Babolat POP works with all tennis rackets and is coupled with an iOS or Android smartphone. Like all trackers, it will collect information. In this case, it will focus on how you move the arm, but also the legs. A variety of statistics will be available after each game session. Number and type of strokes (forehand, backhand, smashes, volley, service), effect, power, playing time, best exchange and number of strokes per minute , in short, a pretty flock.

Necessarily, the community aspect is very present. You can compare your statistics with your friends and even rank with the whole world. Challenges are also on the agenda. All this will be on a platform called PIQ which brings together several different sports with stats and challenges.

If the principle is attractive on paper, we regret that the brand did not communicate on a possible integrated coach who would indicate how to improve his gesture to improve his tennis. Thus, Babolat's product could quickly prove to be of little use over time unless you are a hardcore fan of statistics. Still, the idea will undoubtedly appeal especially pretty attractive price of 89.95 euros. As for the release date, you can make your list to Santa, the bracelet will be available during the month of December in Europe.
