'Smash Factor' will help in measuring data such as bat speed, power in shot, timing & launch angle while  sensor will also pick up vibrations off bat to determine an accurate reing out of 100 for wher player has hit ball out of middle of bat.

Swing rars have been important in baseball and golf cover for quite some time w, but as nature of cricket is 360-degrees, it was impossible to replicate techlogy until w.

Divi, which is a company based in Boston in collaboration with Microsoft and Massachusetts Institute of Techlogy, has found a solution to this issue by creating a sensor that weighs only as much as a credit card. It can break down and display every element of a batsman’s technique.

Fox Cricket is set to develop an invation that will finally take away guess factor of determining wher  ball has been hit with sweet spot. Majority of Australian players have alrey agreed to collaborate this summer.

channel's executive producer Br McNamara, who h been trying to get this techlogy right for years w, said that it was very, very difficult to change people’s way of looking at things when he went against tritional conventions in cricket. He h alrey realized that putting anything on a bat was always going to be difficult.  Whatever y put on a players’ bat firstly, h to t affect integrity or balance of bat, which was t easily to do. He ded that initially, re were issues in a bat's handles which h put balance of a bat off and y were too long to t make players like m longer. As a result, y were forced to come up with something players didn’t kw was re. 

Smash Factor t just all about big hits: McNamara

He went on to say that 'Smash Factor' was t just all about big hits. y will also be able to get very technical with measurements of bat face angles and back lifts helping m dissect, demonstrate and tell stories of individual batting techniques. Techlogy like Ball Tracker and Snicko h focused on what bowler was trying to do to get players’ out, but Smash Factor was a techlogy purely dedicated to art of batting. re was also an app available to cricketers at every level so y can compare ir ‘Smash Factor’ with pros and players around world.
