Overview
After hiring a private tennis coach, have you encountered any of the issues below? - How can I learn tennis more efficiently? - How can I better practice when my coach isn't around? - How can I make my practice schedule more flexible? Now, with Coach T—the very first AI private tennis coach, makes learning tennis more efficient, flexible, and saves you money, you can solve all of these problems and more.

Coach T is an AI assistant for tennis players of all backgrounds. It aims to revolutionize how you learn tennis, ultimately helping your game and saving you money. Built with an Intel Curie chip, Coach T is placed on the tennis racket and analyzes your stroke movements, help tennis beginners correct their movements by delivering coaches' instructions in real time, just like the real coach is beside you.

A set of Coach T includes:

1. RACKET DEVICE

2. BLUETOOTH HEADSET

Coach T will revolutionize your tennis learning experience!

 

 

 

STEP 1. Place Coach T on the throat of your racket and connect it with your smartphone via Bluetooth.

STEP 2.  Coach T records the strokes of your racket, as well as the comments and feedback, given by your private coach, such as “finish higher”, finish lower”, or “nice shot!”

STEP 3.  When practicing alone, you can then wear Bluetooth-connected headphones and listen to your coach's instructions based on your swings. When you swing your racket, you will hear your coach's voice based on the movements of your swing. It feels like your coach is right by your side.

 

 

To further improve the record and analysis functions of Coach T, we use the Curie module, released by Intel earlier this year. The neuron networks in Curie automatically recognize and categorize movements.
Coach T recognizes your swing movements and matches it with your coach's vocal feedback, allowing you to improve your strokes with your coach's guidance even when the lesson is over.

 

​​

 

 

When you start learning tennis, your coach will teach you various basic movements, strokes, and tips to introduce you to the game of tennis. You are then to practice these movements and strokes over time until they become more natural.
Now let's imagine if there was a device that allowed you to track your every stroke and told you whether your movement was correct or not, using the exact same words as you private coach would during a private lesson.
This was the problem when Yanni started learning tennis met, and then Yanni had the idea of creating Coach T.
With the latest AI technology enabled by Curie Neurons, this idea is now a reality. We have worked very hard the past couple months and are happy to announce Coach T, an AI device that will change the way we learn tennis.

 

Our team is composed of a group of avid tennis lovers. We found some problems during the period of tennis learning. So we hope that through our efforts, can do some improvement to the tennis teaching.

General Coach T Info

Q: Who is Coach T targeted for?

A: We created Coach T primarily to help novice tennis players learn faster and more efficiently. It can also be used for tennis coaches, as well, allowing them to teach their students more efficiently and track their progress.

Q: Is Coach T secure when it’s tied to your racket?

A:  In order to prevent Coach T from falling off your racket when playing, we added a number of mechanical fasteners. It’s passed a number of designs and vigorous tests so we are confident that Coach T will be safe and secure when playing.

Q: How did you implement the functions of Coach T?

A: Coach T features the latest Intel chip, Curie, which is about as small as a button and offers excellent performance. With CurieNeurons, Coach T can recognize any movement and offer feedback, which is why Coach T can improve the tennis learning experience with real-time instructions.

Q: Can I change the color of my Coach T?

A: You can easily change the color by replacing the silicone strap. We offer a variety of straps so you can personalize it as you wish. It’s about as easy as changing cell phone cases so you’ll be ready in no time.

Caring for Coach T

Q: How long can Coach T last in a single charge?

A: With a full charge, Coach T can typically last for about a week.

Q: Does there happen to be a warranty?

A: Don’t worry, we’ve got your covered! Coach T comes with a one-year limited manufacturer warranty. Coach T is highly durable in terms of scratch, shock and abrasion resistance. If you run into any manufacturing defect issues (excluding the silicone straps), we’ll repair or replace your Coach T. Coach T is also water resistant but not water-proof. Submerging Coach T in water will void the warranty. 

Distribution

Q: How will I receive my Coach T?

A: All Coach T’s will be shipped straight to your doorstep through DHL global shipping. Quotes can be provided by us based on your location. Once shipped, we will also provide tracking information so you can keep track of your Coach T.

Q: What payment methods are available?

A: We accept PayPal and all major credit cards.
