Pickleball Noise Reduction Systems

Big updates this Summer

Full Match Stats on Any Court

• The Baseline Cam now follows your match and provides performance stats on demand.

• Simply tap the Stats button at any point and the summary will include all events until that point. 

• Get a comprehensive breakdown of your groundstrokes, 1st serves, 2nd serves, and returns with Pro Stats.

• You can also now see the percentage of points won for serves and returns, giving you even better insight into your game. 

• The Cam follows tennis rules: a point starts with a serve and ends with a winner, an ace, an error, or a double fault. This means the camera will ignore shots that aren't part of the game (e.g. balls crossing the court between points).

• We’ve also updated Freestyle Mode to include serve stats, allowing you to practice and improve your serves without needing to be in Match Mode.

Last month, the Baseline Cam was used as the official line calling system for the National Summer tournament (10s and 12s) in Haifa. 
Baseline provides an extra set of eyes on court for high-stakes matches – or in the case of this tournament, automates line calls for faster, fairer play at all levels of competition. 
Here's what players and their parents had to say.
