It's all in the swing and there's science in each one.
Right before the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2016 in Las Vegas, Easton Power Sensor shrewdly updated its app and smart video capture technology to include an adaptive slow-motion feature, which allows baseball players of all ages and their coaches to break down the mechanics of each swing.
The slightest quirk in your mechanics can throw off your swing at the plate in baseball and Easton Power Sensor realized that, improving its app and overall technology with this feature.
Seeing the adaptive slow-motion playback feature in person at the Sands, as part of CES 2016, on Thursday was impressive, as it gives users the ability to scrub video footage back and forth by the frame to truly break down and pinpoint what they're doing right and wrong with each motion.
The way the technology works is simple. The Easton Power Sensor, which retails for $149.95 on its website and charges wirelessly, fits onto the handle of any baseball bat via a gel-like plastic tab. From there, the sensor syncs with Easton's accompanying smartphone app.
In addition to the newly introduced adaptive slow-motion playback, the app also issues metrics such as time to contact, efficiency and power index, swing speed and blast factor.
The slow-motion feature will not only let young baseball players truly hone in on their own swing, but coaches to pinpoint what their players are doing wrong at the plate.
Sounds like a win-win.
