Sensor-Packed 94Fifty Basketball Gives Feedback to the Coach and Players

 

          "Practice makes perfect." It's an the old expression that Info Motion is aiming to build on with some new technology. The 94Fifty practice basketball uses six built-in sensors to give players  feedback data to help identify what parts of their game they need to work on the most and where the players are lacking skills. The ball is able to measure things such as how accurately and quickly the player is shooting, the amount of arc on a shot, the quality of release and backspin, and the force and speed of a dribble. The idea is that players just use the ball to practice as they normally would, but receive feedback in more detail than us people can see.
