Whether you've played soccer for twenty years or basketball for only a few days, these high-tech sports balls will improve any person's game. From sensor-equipped basketballs to energy-producing soccer spheres, these devices are the future of training in sports.
Wilson Sporting Goods has recently begun work on a ball that connects to an app on your smartphone. Data will be transmitted from the ball to the app, detailing one's workout, and offering up details of ways to improve. Other high-tech devices include camera-equipped soccer balls. Considering the amount of disputes that take place over whether or not a ball crossed a goal line, this is a much-needed addition to one's sports game repertoire.
Upgrade your game with these high-tech sports balls.
