Hardware sensors vs phone camera AI
Hardware sensors must be attached to the bat knob, charged via USB, and paired over Bluetooth. For youth players and travel ball parents, sensors frequently get left at the field, fall off on hard contact, or fail to connect when cell service is spotty.
Player 1 uses your phone's native camera. Simply prop your phone on a bag or fence, record your reps, and get immediate visual analysis of your swing or pitching mechanics.
