What is QLIPP?
QLIPP features a twist-and-lock design mechanism that easily attaches and detaches from any tennis racquet.

It measures every part of your stroke, analyzing the spin, speed and sweet spot accuracy of each shot-- designed to improve your game with the most advanced analytics possible.

Using QLIPP’s advanced wearable tracking technology, you can pinpoint the exact ways to develop your game.

And it can even wirelessly team with your smartphone to shoot video of your stroke. After each volley, you’ll gain insight into your stroke. And after each practice, you’ll know how to get better.

The QLIPP sensor tracking technology attaches to your tennis racket quickly and begins recording your swings and movement right away. During practice, it transfers all the data to the QLIPP mobile app in real-time so you can get immediate insights on your strengths, weaknesses, and how to improve your game.

Fits any racquet
With our registered twist and lock design, QLIPP takes less time to setup than lacing your shoes. Collect, analyze and store your data easily. At 8g, it will be your lightest and most important piece of gear.
