I just got the Asics Gel Rocket 10 and I like it so far. Got it for around $60ish on Amazon here in the US.

Mainly, I'm trying to build up my own knowledge in how a lot of these techniques work and eventually test all of this information out on myself. I've always had an interest in biomechanics, especially in sports, and I wish I pursued it in academics. Just working to do small weekend warrior...

@Tony's Table Tennis Thanks! Definitely agree with you for the training data. The bulk of the data I used to train the model was from different training sessions with like one Truls forehand in a match and a few Hariomoto forehands when he was in a practice match. I think the volume of the data...

As an update to this, I found a tutorial on a more efficient way to get the poses into a DataFrame format + an interesting way to use Data Science algorithms to label a specific action. So, I spent an hour to get 1 minute worth of pro forehands and 1 minute of backhands towards the building of a...

I tried out the Viscaria a while back and I played with the TB ALC, and a Donic Applegren Carbon blade. I think each one had a Tenergy 05/64 or Dignics 05/09c on them. My shots felt a bit more crisp!

I'd be interested in getting a carbon blade, although I'm not sure what to get, especially in terms of inner and outer carbon.

Yeah definitely, if you're doing the OpenAI side, check out LangChain for potential chat bot / voice to text applications. I'm starting to learn it on the side. The NLP/Gen AI applications that you're going for is pretty cool and I'm interested to see what progress you make with it in the future!

@palguay Are you just getting the prompts from the ChatGPT then manually sending it to the robot? The interesting thing is that you could probably train your own OpenAI model, then have an interface set up with the robot to have it all generated. Accessing the OpenAI API does have a cost...

Good point. I know I started out forehand dominant when I started up in 2021, but I eventually just trended into backhand. I'll try to get some recordings in the next couple of weeks with some progress. Making the point to work on some conditioning and drilling. Definitely agree with you on...

One of the better players in my club is forcing me out of the habit of trying to rally. He wants me to set up my serves to set the 3rd ball on my forehand, but I'm way too comfortable with trying to open with my BH lol. I've been working on the 3rd ball attack. Some attacks are rather slow...

I was looking back on my notes of videos I save from my time lurking on the forums, and this video was definitely one of them haha. The person training me puts balls deep on the BH side, so I need to look through this video again and practice some shadow drilling. I think I just end up moving...

The cross over was the drill we were working towards on Tuesday. I'll have to check that video out. Thanks! I think you put it perfectly on why I was having issues. I have a bad habit of leaving my left leg behind and trying to balance all my weight on my right. Going to try to do that side-step...

Worked on a few drills yesterday and got really torched by doing Backhand -> Forehand pivot on BH side -> cross table FH and repeat. Not sure how to stop my momentum to get back fast enough on the Backhand. Might just be my volleyball shoes are wearing out. Feels like being late to the far FH is...

That makes sense, thank you for the explanation! Cost is definitely a factor unfortunately. I wonder if that can be overcome in one of the filters I was talking about or some sort of convolutional neural network that can handle blob detection. Cause I've seen the ball tracking being done in a...

When I was in Houston for the 2021, the arena was pretty optimal from my perspective in terms of lighting, outside of the one light that was shining in my eye. You can even see the crowd in the event broadcast. It's weird how it looks like it has regressed to this year's event. I would love to...

I actually tried to capture the ball in a separate video from a top-down perspective. The main issue is my camera, so the ball becomes rather oblong in video and my code couldn't recognize it. I'd have to apply a filter to recognize the unique shape of it and that sent me down a rabbit-hole of...

Thank you! I haven't put it on there yet. I wanted to tinker around with it some more, but my computer can't handle some of the advancements I wanted to make. From memory, I used this tutorial: @gordonluvsu Thank you so much! I love the analytics side of things, so it's cool to see what the...

Hey everyone, wanted to share an old weekend project that I worked on last year. I used OpenCV in Python to create landmarks, or points on my body to do an approximate pose estimation. I then included a wireframe just to show potential applications in form analysis. The video of my practice was...

Absolutely insane matches today! Hope to see some packed crowds on stream this weekend

Had a pretty good session last night. Turns out that getting as low as possible solved some issues, as well as switching my forehand to XVE and backhand to R7. I'm like one of two people that plays with a wood blade in my club, so getting a lot lower has really helped my timing to deal with the...
