Every day, we are experiencing the new way of life brought by scientific and technological progress. Modern intelligent sports equipment is slowly changing people's sports methods, and also allows us to enjoy a moment of comfort and convenience of science and technology in the fast-paced life. Intelligent products are gradually enriching our life It is to focus on improving the quality of our entertainment life, which also allows the majority of badminton enthusiasts to add another choice, so that the sport is more scientific and professional. Thanks to [Lei Feng] and Shenzhen Kulang Cloud Computing Co., Ltd. for their expectations and surprises. I will try my best to do a good job in the evaluation with a serious and responsible attitude. Cut down on gossip and get to the point. Let's begin our hands-on evaluation today. In order to better understand this product, let's first understand the relevant background sources of this brand.

Company Profile: 【 Kulang Xiaoyu is a company that focuses on the subdivision of badminton rackets. Song Zhicong, the CEO of Kulang, was originally from an industrial background and transformed into an intelligent hardware product. As an engineering man, he is one of the earliest users of smart bracelets abroad in China, and has a deep understanding of the development of smart bracelets. At that time, he saw that the smart bracelet was universal, but it was difficult to play a role in professional segmentation. His dual identity as both a player and an engineer gave him the idea of becoming an intelligent hardware in a specific field. He hit it off with three other Shenzhen University alumni, and Kulang was born 】

Let's take a look at its configuration

1、 Unpacking:

one Today, we will unpack the intelligent badminton sensor of Kulangxiaoyu 2.0 for you to expose. In addition, we will introduce the intelligent badminton sensor of Kulangxiaoyu 2.0 from the appearance.

two The packaging box is designed in a simple and clear way, which just reflects that the movement is pragmatic and pragmatic, not pompous!!! And the box is also very solid, which has a kind of feeling of Apple phone packaging, and can play a very good role in protecting the product!

three Let's take a look at our equipped family photos The intelligent badminton sensor of Kulang Xiaoyu 2.0 includes a silicone sleeve, a micro USB power charging cable, and a 3M adhesive sticker. Kulang Xiaoyu 2.0 supports the installation of both the rubber sleeve and the 3M adhesive sticker.

four Kulang Xiaoyu 2.0 intelligent badminton sensor uses lithium battery power supply, which can be charged through the current mainstream Android data cable, and can be connected to transmit data through the sensor's internal Bluetooth. Don't underestimate it. Sparrows are all dirty!!!

Kulangxiaoyu 2.0 intelligent badminton sensor can record the speed of the racket, the forward and backward strokes, the speed curve and other information, and can also show the trajectory of the entire swing process in the form of three-dimensional graphics or lines. According to the characteristics of individual hitting, through the analysis of swing data, you can capture and analyze your movement track in real time, comprehensively display the characteristics of individual hitting, offensive strategies and physical condition, and put forward professional opinions to improve your skills, so that you can better understand yourself and quickly improve your skills.

five Kulang Xiaoyu 2.0 continues Xiaoyu 10. Its lightweight appearance adopts a new shape, which is a little like a small scallop. In terms of color, three colors are available: black, white, yellow and green. The thickness and weight are fully optimized and evolved. The size is only 30 * 20 * 8.7 (mm), and the weight is 6g. In terms of materials, low sensitive silicone material and PC polymer plastic are used to make the whole Xiaoyu 2.0 high temperature resistant and also very strong and pressure resistant. The main controller uses M3 enhanced core, whose monitoring function is upgraded to level 6, and supports 4.0 low-power Bluetooth transmission. The standby time is 45 days.

2、 APP installation

one From the first contact with the appearance, we can find that the appearance conditions of the second generation have been greatly improved. Since it is a sensor product, the supporting software is also worthy of our research. This time, the name of the app provided by Kulang Xiaoyu is also called Kulang Xiaoyu. Users can easily download it from the App Store (Apple users)/official website (Android users) and install it on their mobile phones in a one-stop manner. Next, let's take a look at the interface and functions of the software.

two When you start the software for the first time, you will be prompted to pair the software and hardware. For the pairing experience on the iPhone, the process is also quite simple, and the connection speed is fast. After pairing, users need to register or log in with a social account so that the software can record personal data.

three When you start the software for the first time, you will also be reminded of data synchronization, so that some friends will use the hardware first and then synchronize to the software to avoid data loss. In addition, if the pairing is not successful before, you can also pair the software and hardware by pressing the button on the upper right corner of the main interface.  

four Of course, the main interface of the software is about data recording. The classification of six types of data is convenient for users to adjust their strategies when reviewing data, and also know the detailed exercise time, calories consumed and maximum beat speed. Some acute friends may want to see their own data at the first time, so the real-time viewing function provided by the software is most suitable.

five In the health interface, we can see a series of past data, as well as the training program specified for the data, which is of positive significance for developing training plans and evaluating training effects. A person is somewhat lonely whether playing basketball or using Kulang Xiaoyu. Therefore, Kulang Xiaoyu will also have a "circle" function. The leaderboard and Kuyou circle provide certain social attributes, so that friends who use Kulang Xiaoyu can have more communication, explore some new possibilities in badminton, and perhaps make a good match.

six Of course, Kulang Xiaoyu has also configured a series of setting options, which can set the user's own body data and competitive exposition. In addition, it can also carry out a series of hardware settings and upgrades for Kulang Xiaoyu to ensure the normal use of hardware.

seven It can be seen from the comparison that the second generation has made a series of improvements in hardware parameters, and the use of software has also been optimized compared with the previous generation. Although the Xiaoyu generation was used before, I feel that although the creativity and starting point are quite good, it may be that the software and hardware run in is not mature enough, and there are occasionally problems such as software and hardware disconnection, incorrect action judgment, etc. in the actual use process. Therefore, when I learned that Xiaoyu launched the second generation product, I first focused on these two issues. Relatively speaking, the improvement of the second generation on these two issues is relatively obvious, especially for the action judgment, the accuracy of the second generation has improved a lot. The improvement of the accuracy of capturing actions will help users to revise their own actions, which has more obvious reference significance for action correction and training. In addition, the lighter and thinner body shape of the second generation plus the design of piano baking varnish, as well as the redesigned indicator light, make the appearance of the product go up to a higher level, and I believe it will also attract more friends.

eight However, every product is not perfect, and the same is true for the second generation. In fact, I have always believed that putting such a sensor on the back of the racket in the form of a silicone sleeve will inevitably affect the badminton movement process. You should know that when badminton is killing the ball, the grip position will be close to the middle and rear. After the silicone cover is installed, you will feel more or less foreign matter when you grip the racket, which will be a little disturbing to the players. To avoid this problem, the second generation hardware is equipped with a 3M sticker at the bottom, which can directly attach the sensor to the bottom of the racket. However, it will take time to verify whether sweat and dust will cause the sensor to fall off after a long time of use. In general, the performance of the second generation is more practical and beautiful than that of the first generation, and I believe it can attract more badminton fans.

Summary: The emergence of intelligent sports products is quite timely in the context of advocating reasonable sports. Although the accuracy of this type of product is somewhat questionable, compared with accuracy, the continuous iteration of product appearance function and accuracy for correction is more popular with consumers. With the support of reasonable price, sports enthusiasts are actually quite willing to buy such products and look forward to relevant upgrades, especially those projects that cost a lot, such as badminton. It can be predicted that reasonable sports intelligent products will help amateur sports lovers better manage their sports data and help them make progress in a more scientific way.
