    Forget the fact this is a Tennis racquet, it's the technology i'm interested in and the potential to use it in badminton.

    Whilst i'm no engineer, I see no reason why this couldn't be used in a badminton racquet handle. One problem would be badminton racquets don't last as long as tennis racquets, so a feature to unscrew the handle and attach it to another racquet would be nice.

    Right now it's very expensive, £349.99. I wonder if Babolat have a patent on the technology or if other brands can use it too. I'd definitely be interested to try it.

    Here's some of the features

    The idea is really cool, but it looks like it would require a bigger and clunkier racket to fit all of that technology into.

    yes, should be totally transferable, but they'd have to make it smaller & lighter - no doubt driving up the cost!

    Wonder this ZEPP sensor would adapt to badminton play?
