Charlie III

Description

Computer-controlled basketball trainer for shooting practice

The Charlie III basketball trainer enables highly intensive shooting practice. Thanks to its unique method of “launching/passing” the ball using an electronically controlled servo, this trainer can simulate shooting not just from one fixed spot at the same distance, but is capable of delivering every single ball to a different position and at a different distance during play — all with varying force (maximum pass distance of up to 20 metres!!!). This method of pass control makes the Charlie III basketball trainer truly one of a kind. The enormous variability of the passes allows for a highly diverse training programme to be put together. This programme can then be very easily saved to the computer’s memory and recalled again at any time. A contactless basket sensor records successful attempts, and the large front display shows real-time information on the number of throws, the number of successful shots, and the player’s percentage success rate.

The fundamental difference compared to the Charlie II is the machine’s connection to a data server via a built-in WiFi module. Combined with a QR code reader, the Charlie III is able to record every game and every shot using each player’s unique QR code, and subsequently carry out statistical analysis. Particularly suitable for club owners, coaches, and active players.

Thanks to the Charliestats app, the Charlie III has gained popularity not only among active players and coaches, but also among amateur players and fitness enthusiasts. Through pre-programmed competitive games, professionals and amateurs from around the world can compete against each other remotely.
