Scout to know the speed of your steering wheels

Badminton is the fastest racket port in the world. A steering wheel was thus propelled to 493 km / h in 2013 by Tan Boon Heong, one of the stars of the discipline. Without being able to reach these records, we all want to know how fast we move the arm, the speed of the steering wheel. Whether in the search for performance or simply to compare yourself with friends and partners.

The concept is simple. The device fits in the hand or attaches to the smartphone and captures the data. These are then stored on the application (iOS and Android) installed on your smartphone. You can access it over several months to measure your progress. On the battery side, allow 6 hours on average, a little less if you use the ehealth capture function. Scoutee is compatible with a multitude of sports: tennis, golf, paintball, cycling … It is really a multi-tasking product.

Scouteee was funded by Internet users. On the Indiegogo platform, he raised more than $ 95,000 in January 2020. The models ordered at the time were delivered a few months ago. Today, they appear to be out of stock. If you want to know when it will be available again, you can register on the company website. The final sale price should be around 300 dollars. An important investment if you only practice badminton but which could quickly become interesting if you can share it with friends.

The Coollang Xiaoyu 2.0 sensor

The Coolang Xiaoyu 2.0 sensor is undoubtedly the most advanced that there is at present for the practice of smart health connected badminton. Steering wheel speed, power put in the arm, angle of inclination, calories… Data is collected in real time by the sensor but is also stored in the “Intelligent Badminton” application (iOS and Android). The sensor can be installed with a support on the racket or with tape. The sensor weighs only 5 grams and therefore does not interfere with your game. The company announces up to 5 hours of continuous use for the life of the battery. The app can also be used to set active objects, compare yourself with your friends or even analyze your style and give you tips to improve your game.

On the price side, the sensor is sold at a price of 45 euros. It is available in the following colors: black, white, yellow, turquoise, green and pink. To be able to easily change the racket without having to dismantle the support each time, it can be purchased in multiple copies from 5 euros. The company also offers sensors for the practice of tennis and baseball, sold at 77 and 64 euros respectively.

Plasma TX5, the smart health connected badminton racket

The first smart health connected badminton racket was launched last year by Australian company Olivier. The Oliver RDS Plasma TX 5 works with the same application as the Coolang Xiaoyu 2.0. The Racket Data System (RDS) recognizes real-time movement, typing gestures, flying speed of the steering wheel, energy and typing angle. So much data that can then be used to improve your performance.

The data is then transmitted to your phone via bluetooth (up to 10 meters away). If you do not have your smartphone with you, they will be synchronized during your next connection. The racket also has personalized training programs. The restitution of the data is then done dynamically through graphics. It weighs 88 grams and comes with an integral cover and a charging cable. The Avenue du Sport site currently offers it at a price of € 161.

Badminton, a forgotten sport of smart health connected objects?

Unlike many other sports, badminton currently has relatively few smart health connected devices. There is an obvious reason for this situation. This activity is relatively little practiced in the United States. However, the majority of innovation in terms of new technologies and smart objects comes from North America. However, things are gradually changing, especially with the development of the market in Asia where it is a much more popular sport.

Most of the best players in the world are Chinese, South Korean or Malaysian. The headquarters of the international federation is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is enough to see the example of Coollang to understand it. The business started with badminton before developing sensors for tennis and baseball. It is therefore necessary that badists take a little more their pain in patience, no doubt that badminton will follow suit.
