It was there that QLIPP was able to raise the awareness of our sensor to numerous delegates and media figures right before we launched on Indiegogo.
Also, we received much attention from the international press as well and we were definitely thrilled to share about our QLIPP sensor.
The following is an interview published by a Korea news site, featuring our CTO, Tan Guo Wei :

Did you know that QLIPP also has a Slow Motion Video Playback function?
To get that perfect stroke, tennis players have to acquire the right posture, footwork, the amount of spin, the tilt of the racquet and so much more all at once. As tennis players ourselves, we understand just how difficult and frustrating it can be when your efforts do not show on the court.
With our Slow Motion Video Playback, not only are you able to replay your strokes, you are also able to analyze them in great detail by watching all your strokes in slow motion.
With this, you will be able to pinpoint the areas of flaws that you never know you had and work on them.
Our slow-motion feature allows you to slow down your strokes by half to an eighth of its original speed so that every single detail will be made visible to you.
Are you ready to have your very own QLIPP Ultimate Tennis Performance Sensor?
We are now just a week away from our launch on Indiegogo! đĄ
It has been an exciting ride with all of you so far. As we approach 24 June 2015, we would like to look back at some of the highlights of our journey so far.

From sprints to middle and long-distance to marathon events, the art of running is a highly revered form of human expression, with deep roots in human history. Here are five of our favourite runners who have demonstrated great dedication and strength in their love for the sport, deserving of our admiration.
Athlete Profile: Catherine Ndereba. (n.d). Retrieved from http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/kenya/catherine-ndereba-115233
Catherine Ndereba
Catherine Ndereba (born July 21, 1972) is a Kenyan marathon runner. She is a former World record holder and a top-two finisher in four of the five World Marathon Majors. She was the first woman to run under 2:19 and the first woman to win the Boston Marathon a record four times. She also organises a Half Marathon in her hometown, named after Field Marshall Dedan Kimathi, a freedom fighting hero in Kenyaâs struggle for independence.
Having defied the conventions of a male-dominated society, Nderebaâs strength and perseverance no doubt make her deserving not only of her nickname Catherine the Great, but also a spot on our list.
Athlete Profile: Yohan Blake. (n.d). Retrieved from http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/jamaica/yohan-blake-208640
Yohan Blake
Yohan Blake (born December 26, 1989) is a Jamaican sprinter known by the nickname âThe Beastâ. Blake is an Olympic Games silver medallist at both the 100m and 200m Olympic gold medallist, world champion and world record holder at the 4x100m. At 19 years and 197 days he was the youngest man to have ever broken the 10-second barrier for 100m. Blake also founded the YB Afraid Foundation in 2011, an organisation that works to address the educational, physical and mental health and social needs of underprivileged youth.
With a fierce fighting spirit and a compassionate heart, Blake is both a beast and a beauty and certainly earns his place on our list.
Athlete Profile: Paula Radcliffe. (n.d). Retrieved from http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/great-britain-ni/paula-radcliffe-62914
Paula Radcliffe
Having suffered from asthma and anemia as a child, Paula Radcliffe (born December 17, 1973) overcame her conditions to set the marathon world record for women at 2:15:25 at the 2003 London Marathon. The English long-distance runner has won medals for the New York, London and Chicago marathons, and is known for being an advocate for anti-doping in athletics, having made several public protests to expose drug cheats. She is also involved in the World Health Organisationâs Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity, and just last month called on schools to do more to tackle obesity.
Despite struggling with achilles and foot injuries, Radcliffe ended her competitive running career last month with the 2015 London Marathon. Her name will go down in track and field history for her still-unbeatable marathon record and never-say-die spirit.
Athlete Profile: Michael Johnson. (n.d). Retrieved from http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/united-states/michael-johnson-1308#personal-bests
Michael Johnson
âThe Man with the Golden Shoesâ, Michael Johnson (born September 13, 1967) is an American track and field athlete who is the only sprinter ever to be ranked No. 1 in the world in the 200 and 400 meters in the same year, which he has achieved four times. He is generally thought to be the greatest all-around sprinter of all time, and is unmistakable on the track with his distinctive running style of a stiff straight back and a short, rapid piston stride.
Aside from that, he is known for being the pioneering track and field multimedia superstar, and has snagged multimillion-dollar-endorsement deals around the world, which was previously unheard of for runners.
Athlete Profile: Usain Bolt. (n.d). Retrieved from http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/jamaica/usain-bolt-184599#biography
Usain Bolt
With his apt surname, undeniable gift and impressive speed, Bolt strikes us as someone who will go the distance, earning himself the top spot on our list.
The Jamaican sprinter (born August 21, 1986) is arguably the fastest man in the world, winning three gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, and becoming the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in record times. Bolt ran the men’s 100-meter race at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London in 9.63 seconds, a new Olympic record, making him the first man in history to set three world records in a single Olympic Games competition. His foundation, the Usain Bolt Foundation, aims to enhance the character of children through educational and cultural development, as they live their dreams.

To all tennis coaches out there, here is something for you!
QLIPP is on the lookout for tennis coaches who are interested in joining us in our first ever referral scheme.
Just like how Rafael Nadal discovered his passion for tennis through his rigorous trainings by his uncle turned coach, Toni Nadal, it is little surprise that behind every successful tennis player is a dedicated coach committed to bringing out the best in his or her students.
Our QLIPP Ultimate Tennis Performance Sensor is able to provide real time statistical feedback on one’s performance and we believe that both coaches and students alike would definitely benefit from the use of our sensor.
