Tennis: Playsight Smart Technology at BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells by Southern Belle  |

Just when you thought Indian Wells couldn’t get any more cutting-edge, they go and add Playsight Smart Technology on Practice Courts 7 and 8. If you haven’t had a chance to see Playsight in action, it’s pretty amazing. There are several strategically-placed cameras on each court that are tied to a computerized kiosk that collects every piece of data imaginable . . . from the number of topspin forehands hit down the line to how many serves you hit out wide in the Ad court and everything in between. Then, at the end of a match or practice session, the player can run the stats and even watch video snippets to analyze percentages or shot selection or stroke production.

This Southern Belle had a chance to see the Playsight technology up close and personal at the 2014 NCAA Championships at the University of Georgia. Believe me when I say it could change the face of tennis training and competition.

Let’s say a player is working on her slice serve out wide. After hitting a basket full of serves on a Playsight-enabled court, she can go to the computer and with just a few clicks of the mouse she can pull up her stats and actual video footage of each serve compiled into one continuous loop. Pretty cool, right?


A good chunk of the financial backing of Playsight comes from Gordon Uehling. You may recognize that name: Gordon is the guy who Novak Djokovic stays with during the US Open every year. You know, the guy who bought the pressurized egg back in 2011.

Playsight, at its core, is based on Israeli defense technology, and one of its VPs, Yuval bar Yosef, will be manning the Playsight booth during this year’s BNP Paribas Open. Stop by, see what the future of tennis looks like, and be sure to tell Yuval I said hello.
