A new sports tech startup, , aims to revolutionize the way racquet sports players (platform tennis, padel, and pickleball) train with its AI-enabled sports training machine.
Unlike traditional tennis ball machines that simply launch balls at varying speeds and heights, Volley’s trainer robot leverages AI and vision software to collect data as you play, learn your skill level, and simulate live gameplay– making it so you never need a full team to have a decent training session.
“Volley is a great machine for the pros, the beginners, and everyone in between because of the AI and the smarts of the system,” co-founder and CEO John Weinlader tells TechCrunch.
