“The R1 lacrosse ball is simply the single greatest innovation in lacrosse since offset sticks, future players will that utilize this product will be noticeably better” –NCAA D1 Head Coach

REPS has been developing the R1 smart lacrosse ball since 2019 and it took a team from around the world to handle successfully overcome the complex challenges that come with packing bleeding edge embedded sensors inside a PEARL lacrosse ball.

A smart lacrosse ball is a high-tech training tool that is designed to improve the skills of lacrosse players by providing real-time feedback and analysis of their performance. These balls are equipped with sensors and other technology that allow them to track and measure a wide range of metrics, including speed, spin, distance, and accuracy.

The patent-pending smart Dura-Core at the center of the R1 Smart Lacrosse Ball contains aerospace grade sensors that are fed to REPS’ proprietary “IQ Engine” which is then relayed to the REPS companion app, which displays the relevant data and provides actionable insights into your game. 

One of the main benefits of using a smart lacrosse ball is that it can help players identify and correct their weaknesses and mistakes. For example, if you are consistently shooting the ball wide and there is a high spin rate, the REPS app would direct the you to adjust your shooting strings to cut down on the “whip” of the stick. This extremely simple example would be very valuable to a beginner player. 

Smart lacrosse balls can also be used to develop & advance skills, such as stickhandling and dodging. By providing players with detailed information about their movements and techniques, these balls can help them fine-tune their skills and become more effective on the field.

In addition to providing real-time feedback and analysis, smart lacrosse balls can also be used to track progress over time. By comparing performance data from different training sessions, players can see how their skills are improving and identify areas where they need to focus their efforts.

Overall, smart lacrosse balls are an excellent training tool for players of all skill levels. Whether you are a beginner looking to develop basic skills or an experienced player looking to take your game to the next level, a smart lacrosse ball can help you become a better lacrosse player.
