Fitness devices don’t teach technique; training tools don’t drive daily cardio.
Most home‑fitness solutions are repetitive and isolating. Meanwhile, table tennis is one of the most inclusive lifetime sports, but lacks accessible, engaging tech that guides proper form while delivering real cardio.
- • No unified tool that blends skill training with measurable fitness.
- • Limited feedback from shadow practice—no objective data.
- • Missed opportunity to leverage a low‑impact, high‑engagement sport.
Jules trained and played with Marty Reisman at his Broadway parlor. Marty’s longevity through ping pong—and gifting Jules a hardbat paddle—sparked the idea for SIR. Jules later appeared on the Marty Supreme Film set, playing in the Ping Pong Parlor scene with Timothée Chalamet.
SIR (Smart Innovative Racquet)
A racquet platform that embeds the smartphone to deliver motion capture, video, and guided shadow practice—turning table tennis into a connected fitness experience.
- ✅ Motion tracking: accelerometer + gyroscope capture stroke metrics.
- ✅ Filming: onboard camera for technique review and social sharing.
- ✅ Shadow practice: coach‑mode drills with real‑time cues.
- ✅ Cardio: rhythmic sessions with music for aerobic training.
“Peloton Meets Ping Pong”
Interactive workouts + measurable progress + community, but at a fraction of the price—and far more playful.
Hardware + App + Content
SIR combines a weighted, smartphone‑integrated racquet with an app that analyzes strokes, compares to pro models, and delivers cardio workouts synced to music.
- • Stroke comparison: student vs. coach/pro references.
- • Real‑time feedback on timing, tempo, angle, and follow‑through.
- • Workout modes: aerobic routines, dance cross‑training, sport‑specific drills.
- • Coaching tools: session logs, progress reports, shareable clips.
- • iOS app (foundation in place).
- • Unity prototype for VR (Meta Quest) interoperability.
- • Partnerships: clubs, leagues (e.g., MLTT), training centers, content creators.
- • Accessories: mounts, hardbat/modern blade variants, studio kits.
Connected fitness × Skill training × Social sport
SIR sits at the intersection of booming categories: home fitness, skill‑tech, and social sports. Table tennis is low‑impact, space‑efficient, and globally loved—ideal for broad adoption.
- • Entry price far below bike/rower platforms.
- • Appeals to families, seniors, athletes, and rehab/physical therapy.
- • Recurring revenue via training content & coaching subscriptions.
- • Enterprise channels: clubs, schools, wellness programs, senior centers.
- • Granted patent (US10166447B2) with clear claims.
- • First‑mover narrative tying legacy (Reisman) to modern tech.
- • Proprietary datasets from motion‑video training sessions.
