The much-publicised equipment company Babolat has introduced a new version of tennis rackets called "Smart Rackets" with the latest technology built in its handle.

The rackets can be charged with a USB cable and its ready to record the next play. One can record maximum five hours of play when the racket is fully charged.
The rackets also have a Bluetooth with the help of which, the information can be transferred to smartphones or tablets. From here, one can view the performance with these rackets on a statistical basis.
The racket has data collecting sensors and chips embedded in its handle. It also has switches at the end to start or stop recording the play. An LED light installed in it signals that the racket is in the recording process.
