Abstract

Disclosed are techniques for leveraging machine learning to generate posture adjustment values for specific body postures of a player to improve loop drive techniques, such as in table tennis. Video clips of a player hitting a ball with a loop drive technique are analyzed to determine values for specific body postures and qualities of the ball after being hit. A machine learning model is generated to analyze relationships between body posture values and ball qualities. Upon receiving a video clip of a live session of a player hitting a ball using a loop drive technique, the machine learning model is used to generate adjustment values for body postures of the player to impart improved loop drive qualities to the ball, such as faster topspin.
