Zepp Labs lets you check out your tennis, baseball and golf swing in 3D on your iPad

 Zepp Labs may not seem familiar at first, but if you’re a sports nut, chances are you’ve heard of the company’s first product, the Golf Sense swing analyzer. We put the system to the test and found it offered a tremendous amount of helpful information about our golf swing habits for just $150. Now the company is following up its early success with three new motion-sensing products, this time bearing the Zepp name: the Zepp Golf, Zepp Baseball and Zepp Tennis. And if these new swing analyzing systems are anything like their predecessor, they may be something to get excited about. 

The new Zepp sensor appears to be a little smaller than the Golf Sense dongle we played with earlier this year. It’s also more rugged and  powerful. The neon-green sensor is 1-inch square and weighs about 6 grams. Zepp Baseball1Its exterior is made of rubber and its core is said to be shock resistant. Inside is an ARM processor, multiple motion sensors, and enough storage to log 200,000 tennis swings, or 2,000 golf/baseball swings.

Like the Golf Sense, the Zepp sensor transmits swing data in real time via Bluetooth to a waiting mobile device with one of Zepp’s apps running. The app then presents a rendering of your swing in 3D, which you can look at from virtually any angle by rotating around the swing model in 360 degrees. Unlike the Golf Sense, however, the Zepp has been designed with apps and mounts specifically made for tennis rackets and baseball bats in addition to golf clubs. 

Outside of the cool 3D rendering of your swing, the Zepp sensor and app provides detailed data on things like club head, bat or racket speed, swing plane and angle; plus, it tracks your progress so you can see how things have improved or worsened over time. 

The price for the sensor is $150, and it works with each of the different sports apps. Mounts will reportedly be sold separately. We can expect to see the Zepp Golf, Baseball and Tennis coming available sometime in November.

Apple iPad Pro 2025 on a table

A semester’s worth of notebooks, printouts, and loose assignment sheets can turn your backpack into hefty luggage. This is where the iPad steps in, not by making your reading list shorter, but by making your academics less cluttered. Add an Apple Pencil, and the same tablet can handle handwritten lecture notes.

It's not all work and no play, as the iPad can double as a handheld gaming console or streaming device. But at the end of the day, the real question is, "Which one is right for you?" With the various models under its belt, Apple has an iPad for everyone. It currently sells four very different iPads and two relevant Pencil models, with compatibility changing depending on the tablet.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Motorola has revealed the Moto Pad 70, a new mid-range Android tablet with a large display, stylus support, 5G connectivity, and a sizeable battery.

The tablet will launch in India on August 8 through Flipkart. Its 12.1-inch 2.5K display, included Moto Pen, 10,200mAh battery, and 68W charging give it several features that could appeal to people considering Apple’s base iPad. However, the mid-range Dimensity 6400 processor means it is unlikely to match the iPad in raw performance.
