a smart health connected wall for training

The Digi-tennis 2.0 wall allows experienced tennis players or beginners to train in a fun way.

The end of an era

Let tennis players who have never trained against a wall raise their hands! Indeed, throwing the balls in front of a wall can sometimes train more effectively than a classic match against a partner. Look at the differences: with a wall, you can hit the ball 500 times in an hour against 80 with a partner. Training facing the wall therefore has a certain effectiveness! Yet he became old-fashioned. Fortunately, thanks to Gilberton academy, founded by Rémi Gilberton, ex-890th world player, the wall is back in fashion.

No concrete wall will be injured anymore during training

The principle of Digi-tennis 2.0 is simple: it is a smart health connected wall of 2x2m which houses multicolored LED lamps. The player can choose between 50 programs (50 others are being designed) which all aim to improve precision, footwork, etc. All that is essential to the practice of tennis. When the program is chosen, the lamps light up, there are sometimes additional sound effects, and the player must chain forehand and backhand to turn them off. Something to train while having fun! However, these light and sound effects are present to promote concentration, essential in this sport.

The luminous smart health connected wall has a scoring points to track your score, and therefore its progress and programs that adapt to the evolution of the player. Children are not forgotten since they benefit from a initiation program designed to accommodate up to 6 children. We bet they will be attracted to this bright wall!

A definite advantage for tennis clubs

The other advantage of this smart health connected wall is that’It takes up little space. For example, for the children's program, a plot of 60 to 80m² will suffice compared to 650m²! It will however require some changes in the equipment: a racket which will have lost 2 cm and a ball with a slightly larger diameter which will slow down the speed. It is not possible to use your smart health connected racket but you can always wear your smart health connected t-shirt! However, this can lead to renewed interest in the sport and allow clubs to welcome new members. If the clubs wish to acquire these walls, they will have to pay between 50,000 and 65,000 euros depending on the number of walls they wish to install.

As for the wall, it will be presented to Strasbourg Internationals 2023 and maybe the 2023 edition of Roland Garros.
