The software uses artificial intelligence (ai) in combination with the camera on your device to capture and analyze your shooting and dribbling. Offering training and workouts that seem more like video games than drills.
Requirements: an iPhone or iPad and a basketball for dribbling drills.
Shooting analysis requires the device in a location (preferably behind the shooter) to see the basket and the shooter at the free throw distance for AI to set the measurements.
Monthly fee may be required for features.
