Abstract: A sensor system for identifying an impact point of a ball hitting a ball hitting means, and a system and method for improving a hitting technique based thereupon. One system comprises an optical array, an motion processing module, a processing unit and an interface unit. The optical array is attached to the ball hitting means and comprises light emitters and light detectors arranged to repeatedly determine consequent impact points of the ball by detecting reflections of emitted optical signals. The motion processing module is attached to the ball hitting means measures its motion characteristics. The processing unit is arranged to analyze and process the consequent impact points and the motion characteristics of the ball hitting means to characterized the hitting technique. The interface unit is arranged to present the hitting technique, generate suggestions for improving the hitting technique and allow further analysis of the hitting technique.
