Introduce player movement and posture tracking to assess performance quality beyond shot execution. This would include:
A stability metric at the moment of each shot to evaluate how “on balance” a player is when hitting.
Split step timing, measured relative to the opponent’s shot and ball location.
Paddle tracking, including:
Detection of paddle in a “ready position”
Paddle height throughout the rally
These metrics could be correlated with shot success and point outcomes to identify patterns in high-performing movement habits and readiness.
