“As a professional coach and racket customiser I can confidently say this product is worth its price. It is sufficiently accurate to use its data for player improvement which is of massive value to any player!
The app is intuitive and the data is presented in a way that is easy to understand. The same can be said about the camera setup, I managed to set it up within a few minutes from the first use.
There are still some features missing such as ball RPM and perhaps a few more games (there are currently two but junior players managed to keep themselves busy for more than an hour with it!). It also seems to struggle with fast serving players. Those serves aren't tracked accurately on my court with the only the second bounce being recorded while the speed seems to be tracked accurately. (Speeds over about 210km/h)
After speaking with Baseline Vision in an onboarding call, I was happily surprised by the true curiousity about my experience and needs. This gives me confidence that the features they are promising will actually make it to the app. To summarize, it's value is pretty much unbeatable at this price point. If you're looking for a ball-tracking device and want to get in early on the action, this is the product to go for!”
“The cam is not so stabil, sometimes it’s OUT and the cam stays silent. The match function after update doesn’t work, the cam doesn’t know when we serve. So we don’t know if the serve is IN or OUT.
Near the installed cam, sees the line of doubles very rarely. Maybe the installation has to be not on the Net? Shall we use an extra column behind the Net column? Please give me instructions!
Thank you”
“As an amateur weekend player, I am generally satisfied with the Baseline Vision. It's really helpful especially for “hitting deep” practice.
I'm looking forward to the future improvements on “Play Match” feature, like automatic scoring, etc.
Here's a few things on the Baseline that would be nice to get improved:
(1)
Vast majority of tennis court surface in Japan is “sand filled artificial grass”, a.k.a. “Omni court”.
Sometimes it looks ambiguous for the Baseline Vision to determine if the ball is in or out.
It would be nice if the accuracy on sand filled artificial grass courts improved.
(2)
It would be super nice to have the option to switch Baseline Vision's voice between several options.
Most Japanese people don't like to stand out :-), and they would prefer another voice of much softer version.
Keep up the further development. To all the developers and engineers, thank you so much.”
Hi Kohji,
Thanks for sharing the feedback! We're glad your experience has been positive so far 🙌
1. We're releasing new updates every few weeks to improve accuracy on all types of courts. In the meantime, playing in good lighting and on courts where lines are very clearly marked should help 🙂
2. Great idea about the voice – we'll pass it to our developers!
“Hello i m using the camera since the first of January. I’m using it during lesson, practice and match. There were some bugs of accuracy at the beginning but now it much better. The match mode is really good. There are still some improvements to make for exemple the automatic switch side, but still it is very enjoyable.”
Hi Renaud
Many thanks for the feedback!
We are working hard on improving performance constantly and bring new capabilities!
Automatic sides switch is high in our priorities and we are working on it as we speak. We hope to release it very soon, when it will meet our quality standards!
“Definitely improving with each revision. Love the match play option. The line calling with the latest firmware has improved the line calling and it seems very accurate. Still has trouble tracking high lobs though. Excited to see how much more it will improve.”
Thanks Jason for your feedback.
We're doing our maximum to constantly improve performance and bring new features.
We are aware of the difficulties with high lobs and this will be addressed as well in the upcoming versions. Stay tuned!
“Love the concept, need first serve/second serve stats, sometimes not completely close accurate wise, does speed get tracked from ball leaving racquet or when crossing net?”
Thanks for your feedback Jon!
We are constantly working on performance improvements and an upgrade is expected in the coming weeks.
Stats on first serves, second serves, points won, errors, winners, returns and much more are expected as part of our "Match Mode" next update, coming as part of the same next upgrade
Regarding speed: Being a vision-based system, as opposed to radar-based systems, the camera calculates the average speed over the whole flight of the ball, from the racket to the bounce. This usually yields a slightly lower speed than the speed leaving the racket.
“I am not sure if it is my app or the camera. When I am in in play free style mode. It is difficult to see if it is on doubles or singles lines. I will click doubles and only two player icon shows on the screen vs four players. When I click data it will show doubles court data. Sometimes it will show four players for the doubles court then when I click data it has the singles lines. It is inconsistent with that. I have done the latest update and now it keeps searching for the court and can not find it.”
Hi Tony,
That's not the experience we'd expect from one of our cameras! We've passed your feedback to our team and will be in touch via email to help you solve the issue 🙂
