Packaged in a solid box, Choreiking is made in Korea, and it is a Koto/ZLC/Kiri blade embedding sensors in the handle.
The total weight is 86.2g. I paired it with D09C 2.1mm on forehand ,and D80 2.1mm on backhand. The racket weight was 186g, which is reasonable.
I tested during 1h training, 50% practise, and 50% game. I can compare with the racket I play usually, which is Viscaria + DNA Platinum XH Max + D05 2.1mm.
I will say that Choreiking racket was impressive. At first, I considered that it was like a gadget in a medium quality blade, but this is not the case. The blade is well balanced, has huge speed, excellent control ! It is a good surprise. Indeed the price is high (about 30,000¥) but the koto/ZLC has good quality. Sweet spot is reasonable. The ball rebound sound is in the high frequency regime, which mean stiff blade. At it is confirmed when smashing ...
About the application, and IoT usage :
1- the racket is easily detected using bluetooth. Language can be selected from a list (Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, and German).
2- then come 3 menus : swing practise, match record, screen game.
Today, I used "match record" only. I just pressed "start", it was recording something with a chronometer. I recorded 25min of practise, and then, I stopped it. Then I recorded the first set of the game. Then stop. Then the 2nd set ... until the 5th set.
Then I just turned off the racket, by thinking that all the games will be kept in memory somewhere, or that I could have a look after the training. Niet ! Nothing ! All recorded games were simply not recorded or not kept in the data base. So I lost all the data, except the usage statistics, showing a peak today !
So clearly, this application, software, data recording, post treatment : this is not good at all. It has to be improved a lot in the future, at least for post-treatment. It is a pity that the recorded game were not recorded. So this is a big deception regarding the data.
Conclusion : the "analog" part of the racket is really good, but the "digital" side has to be improved for a more practical application with possibility to get the data for post-treatment eventually on a PC, rather than eventually showing the data once on the mobile phone/iPad.
