Since January 2016, mijnracket.nl player Mike has been using the Babolat POP tennis sensor . Time for a small update .
In our previous post about the Babolat POP tennis sensor we went through all the functionalities of this cool tennis tool. Now it's time for a small update. Due to an ankle injury I unfortunately couldn't make the hours on the court that I wanted in April and May. The times that I did play, I did use the Babolat POP. In terms of SKILLS I have now reached the Superstar level. The nice thing about Babolat POP is that after every session you upload you secretly look at what you have done and whether this has an effect on your level. The Babolat POP really motivates you to play more to increase your level.
Uploading one or more sessions is now also a bit faster, which is very nice. The supporting app has had a good update. I mainly doubled: in terms of volleys I am doing well. I will have to hit a lot of forehands and backhands in particular to be able to go to a higher level. As you can see on my DASHBOARD , I needed more than 26 hours of tennis to reach the Superstar level, quite a lot of tennis hours all in all. Because it is June 2, 2016 at the time of writing and I have not played tennis yesterday and today, there is no activity for this month on the dashboard yet. I will change that tonight.
In my ACTIVITY screen of May 2016 you can see that I was indeed able to make few tennis hours. In addition to two short trainings I did play and win a double for the competition. When uploading such a session you can indicate your physical condition, in addition to surface and location indoor or outdoor. My physical condition was not optimal as can be seen from the sad smiley with a plaster.
The CHALLENGES we will also start (starting tonight). Among others Wang Gaxig has challenged me for 5 serves. Let's see who can get the best score in terms of serves.
Babolat POP is and remains a very fun and accessible tool (you can use the sensor with any type of racket and brand, both junior and senior) that absolutely motivates you to play tennis more. Compared to many other tennis sensors, the price is also good. For 89.99 euros you have one. The Babolat POP is now also available in our webshop .
