The
application is phenomenal! My daughter was amazed at the amount of analysis
available - she probably spent 45 minutes going through the data and, more
importantly, came away with some insights that she will work on in her next
match.

We thought ProTracker was
the best app out there to use for tracking matches. We used it on numerous
occasions at Mississippi State on our iPads, in dual match play and in the
NCAA tournament. If someone is looking for an app to stat matches, this one
is definitely worth the money over some of the less expensive products.

I really love the program on
my iPhone. It has been fantastic. Thanks,
Jim Flower, Columbus, OH
Thank you! This app rocks! Derek Gonzales
 As a coach I have now used ProTracker Tennis for over 5 years at the
junior level, the early professional stages and now the collegiate level in
the United States. Using the statistics provided by ProTracker Tennis is one
of the best teaching tools a coach can use.
Roeland Brateanu, Assistant
Men's Tennis Coach at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA
I LOVE PROTRACKER and do not want to settle for
Anything less. Yours is the best by far!! I have Searched and searched for
others and none compare. Allen
As far as
my experience with ProTracker Tennis, I use it in order to keep statistics
when I play matches in my tennis league. I'll set up a video camera and
film myself and then replay and record the results on ProTracker. It's much
easier to keep track of my progress that way. Thanks again, Rick
Ive had the program for three years and love it.

I've been using protracker to help my kids. It takes
the subjectiveness out of my feedback and has helped me to convince my kids
on their strengths and weaknesses. Most of the time they don't believe me but
will believe in the protracker stats! Its simple to use. Mark Melbourne,
Australia.
This is a critical tool for any
parent or coach.
It has helped me help my kids and give
their coaches the information they need to improve their game.
Metrics are critical for measuring
progress.
Tracking just wins and losses is not enough.
Since luck is where preparation meets
opportunity, ProTracker Tennis is invaluable when helping to prepare for and
measuring the opportunity.
John Wydra, North Carolina, US
 I have used ProTracker for some time now to track my 18 year old daughters
progress, she plays wheelchair tennis and at this moment she is ranked 10 in
the world. ProTracker has been a great tool for showing her the stats to
help her improve her game. I would recommend it to anyone who plays or
coaches the game its a wonderful bit of kit.
Keith Whiley, UK
ProTracker is the best tennis charting software I have
ever used. It provides me with up to date stats about all my players. It is
a massively important part in helping me give objective feedback to all my
players and parents after matches.
After 3 years of use I'm a still using it on a weekly
basis. This has allowed me to build up a huge library of data about each
player, as well as important information about potential opponents.
I love it! Edward Isard, Abingdon UK
I have now been using the ProTracker software heavily for about 6 months. It
has been very easy to use and has made communicating my son's performance
during a match very clear and based on the data not perception. Now when he
comes off the court the first thing he does is ask for the handheld to
review the stats! It has also made him more aware on court of trends in his
and his opponents play. He used to come off the court with pure guesses of
errors/winners/serve percentage. Now he is often very close to his actual
performance which has helped his game tremendously. Thanks for a great
teaching/training tool!
Tim Gornet, Kentucky
ProTracker Tennis is a must for any tennis parent, very
easy to use and the stats are just like you see on the TV when the
commentators are discussing the pro's game. The Iphone application is a
fantastic addition. I am now able to send valuable factual information to my
daughter's coach for professional analysis. Thank you ProTracker. Enzo Mora, Gloucester UK.
 So glad the iPhone version
of ProTracker is out. I have compared the
new
similar apps for the Iphone
and they don�t measure up to ProTracker.
ProTracker Tennis is the single best tennis match tracking software
available! My son plays USTA Juniors Tournaments and we had been looking for
a software program that we could use to track his matches plus be able to
use as a training guide. ProTracker fits both bills. After each match we
can�t wait to get home and synch up the PDA with our PC and print out the
fantastic reports.
We have been using it for almost a year now. It paid for itself in the first
tournament.
Clayton Taylor, Fayetteville, AR
I use this software now a few month and it is great.
Not only after the match, but also during the match, you can give objective
feed back to your player. It's a great help to develop your player to the
next level, because he or she gets a better (objective) view of the game.
Thank you for making this.
Andr� de Mos, tennis teacher in the Netherlands
It is working great! I have had a lot of
people who were amazed! It helped me a lot with the game and the training of
my daughter. THANKS! Henk Bakker, NL
I just want to say that I am thoroughly happy and pleased with ProTracker...
it has consistently exceeded my expectations, and is the leading product in
its field.
...we love
the programme by the way...it's central to our coaching programme...as they
say awareness is the first stage of change
Peter Di Carlo-Coniglio - Bristol UK
By the way; I must complement your customer support. I have asked many
questions over the year-or-so that I've owned your product, and you always
respond promptly, and with accurate information. Kudos!
Lin Ford, Tampa Florida
I have used the program for quite some time now. It is great. Very often
after one of my players matches before we speak I make them review the Stats
then come and talk to me. The discussion then has so much more substance.
"Coach Nic" Askew, Junior Outreach Director
Prince George's Tennis and Education Foundation, Washington DC
By the way, I just wanted to say that I have found your product to be very
useful and exciting for my players to see match results. Yesterday we had a
flighted tournament between three colleges. I tracked a set for each of the
other schools and printed the results for them. The two coaches were amazed
at what they saw. I showed them both the pocket pc and the laptop where they
could see the flow of the match.
Allen Jackson, Berea College, Kentucky
My son just won the
Surbiton U10 Open. I cant say it is solely down to ProTracker but he
certainly takes more interest in the post match analysis and now works on
areas of weakness.
Marc Hendriks,
Clive Asprey Tennis Academy, Guildford UK
 This software is exactly what I've been
looking for. I researched many other programs for months and found
ProTracker to be the easiest to use but would also give me an excellent
amount of information from each match. It is also the only software I've
found which does stats for doubles. Not only is the software great but the
customer service is excellent - any questions I had were answered extremely
quick.
Melburn Brown, Head Pro, Hallbrook CC USA
I have been using
ProTracker for over a year now and I think that it is one of the most
valuable tools a coach or a parent can have. Thank you again and
congratulations on this amazing product. Fernando Martinez,
Boca Raton
Coaching a High School
Boys Varsity Tennis team is always a challenge. Having the ProTracker
software has enabled me to keep reliable statistics from the matches from
which I can design practices around the parts of the game which need to be
improved. The software is easy to use and the reports are easy to interpret.
The computer-savvy generation of teenagers trust the computer generated
reports more than anything done by pencil and paper. Overall it is a great
piece of software that has benefited our program tremendously.
Paula Gentry - Woodward Academy, GA.
Fantastic software, easy to use and a very effective feedback tool.
I researched the internet to find a good tennis
stats program and this was by far the most impressive. It is very easy to
use, and best of all the kids seem to really buy in to it. It makes it very
easy to coach them when they have seen their own stats on the
computer. I especially like the serving scatter diagrams as this is
such an important area to the game. I have statted lots of matches,
and over time I like to compare matches against the same opponent to
see where the improvements have been made. Overall, a great program,
highly recommended. Chris Johnson, Hills Road High
Performance Centre, Cambridge, UK
My son of 14
is now playing full time and your software is a very valuable training tool.
He now looks at the stats and really knows what went on. Pre software
days he would get caught up in the emotion of the match which could easily
blind him to the facts.
In my career as a professional coach I've had a lot of
problems with players who made a lot of unforced errors, because they want
to make winning shots from very difficult situations, instead of
playing, for example semi-high and crossing balls. After using ProTracker
Tennis I resolved with my players a lot of tactical and mental problems
during practice and tournaments. It is also perfect for travelling coaches,
because you can store all the important information from each match - and
after returning home you can show to the player's personal coach or parent
or to the club directors a report showing exactly what happened during each
match and why he/she lost or won particular matches in the tournament.

Protracker Tennis is most useful for analyzing performance and monitoring
areas needing improvement in my daughter's tennis game. Being so easy to use
and download allows us to quickly review match statistics and discuss
various issues with her coach.
The software is excellent - it has aspects which are very complimentary to
my coaching. I was impressed with the return of serve and the replay
feature which I used recently for one of my players to highlight reasons why
he lost his fixture. More notably it helped him to visualize what I was
saying so that he could put it into practice for his next match. In
North Queensland where it is constantly sunny I find the black / white feature
a real asset, no more shielding or tilting my device to see the screen.
Good product before, even better product now

At Radford
University we are recruiting more players with national and world rankings,
and finding that few have had extensive match charting done of their
competitions. ProTracker is providing us with a statistical and visual
charting tool to further enhance the development of these already highly
advanced players.
Mike Anderson
Men's Tennis Coach

This is exactly what I was looking for to track matches for my two
daughters....and although I have seen many folks tracking by hand, I have
not seen anyone doing it like this.
 Just
a quick story... Lately my son has really been on a roll playing some good
tennis. However, he has not been able to close out the big match. I try to
always be supportive and encourage him instead of telling him what he did
wrong and why he lost. After some time has passed I'll ask him what he
thought made the difference in the match and he'll say something like it
just wasn't my day etc. Of course I knew it usually boils down to too many
unforced errors. However, hearing it from Dad usually doesn't carry too
much weight. After this last match, he and I went to lunch and we were
talking about the match and I just gave him the HP Ipaq and
let him look at the stats. All of a sudden his mouth dropped open and
he said in disbelief, "I had 49 unforced errors?" He filtered by shot
and saw that almost all of them were sailing just long. He's getting
stronger and swinging harder. So at the next match, I watched his
strokes closely and could see that he is not coming over the top of the ball
to generate the extra spin needed to keep the ball in play. I've said
it before and I'll say it again, great product!
Jay Hardy, Suwanee, Georgia
Just got back from my daughter's match and ProTracker was awesome!!
I will have to practice to keep up with points but I can't wait to print out
the reports and analyze them on my pc. Everyone was really impressed
at the tournament by be using a handheld to track a match.
The software is performing great. It is incredibly useful to me and my
students.

Something else you may be interested in is I recently attended the French
open, and I charted Andrew Murray, and the statistics I got from the match
were exactly the same as those done by IBM at the tournament. Which was
great, the software is great.
I have been using Pro Tracker Tennis now for
about a year and have found it most helpful, it's great and I can't work
without it.
Adam Malarsk, Weston Tennis Center, FL
Almost a year ago I purchased the program. It is working great! I have had a
lot of people who were amazed! It helped me a lot with the game and
the training of my daughter. THANKS!
Henk Bakker, Netherlands
So far so good....I downloaded the full versions and they
look (and work) great...much, much better than the ACE program that I was
using, a lot more user friendly.

I've tracked
116 matches so far:
78 of one of my
daughter's matches and 38 on the other daughter's. I continue to show junior
coaches and college coaches the product.
Interesting
success story:
Courtney played
a girl over Christmas in Pheonix, AZ at Winter Nationals and I was able to
chart the match.
Just a couple
of weeks ago, Courtney drew the same girl in the first round of the USTA
National Hardcourts in San Diego, CA - the biggest tournament of the summer.
My wife was
with Courtney and I was back home.
I texted
Courtney a few shapshots of the "plots" of where the girl ended points. The
girl ended points 4 to 1 off the forehand side.
I told Courtney
to obviously play the backhand.
I also was able
to recall from the charting that the girl loved pace and the turning point
of the first match was when Courtney mixed up the pace.
The first match
went 3 sets with my daughter being down a set and 1-4, but she came back and
pulled it out.
The second time
she played the girl (armed with Pro Tracker
data) she won 6-2 6-2.
Andy

I've been using
ProTracker for quite awhile (eight months now), and I have to say that it is
positively the most complete package that I've seen. Congratulations! The
code is stable; the features are just what I need to chart matches.
I started off not tracking serve returns, but in the last 6 months have
changed that. Today, I'm charting things quite accurately, and really
appreciate certain touches, such as the summary display on changeovers.
Again, well thought out stuff!
The results have really helped my daughter (age 14) get calibrated about
what her strengths and weaknesses are. I never show her the results right
after the match. It's too intimidating (especially if she's lost). I
usually give back some quick stats (important ones) and then do a full
review the next day after the emotion dies down.
The Doubles part is great... the fact that you chart each player separately
is really, really helpful. My daughter and her partner are currently ranked
8th nationally. So, with those stakes, charting also helps keep the doubles
partner's coach (and parents) calibrated with what's happening, not just the
players.
Peter Nance, Austin Texas
 I've been using Pro Tracker since its first release when
I started traveling with players for greater lengths of time and at higher
level Satellite events. For some of my players ranked 125 in the world or
the comp players blind to the true reason for the result in the match it is
a fantastic tool.
It is not only great so players can take ownership of
their performance, but it keeps a great record of their performance and
tactics against players to be recalled for a pre match strategy any time in
the near or far future.
It is great to help players recall as you analyze how the
match went in their head and certain stages and point situations. Much
better than video for this using the replay function and players giving
their own feel verbally of what happened instead of pictures filling in the
story!
The reporting function on the PC version is outstanding
as well as the ability to blow things up like the momentum Graf on the big
screen but sending PDF of the match report is a great function. Also to have
my coaches or parents traveling with student on tour email me their pro
tracker stats for me to report on from the other side of the world or from
court 1 at our Tennis center!
The ability to have it on a few of my touch screen
devices allows me to take these stats on my phone or at home on my IPad
watching a video of my players match adding further to the convenience of
it.
An outstanding product and a must for coaches of any
player serious in development of their match play.

I congratulate you for putting together the best low cost charting
software on the market.
Robert Wojcik, Program Director, WIGWAM TENNIS
Dear ProTracker, I have been using your tracking
software for several years and felt it was time to give you my feedback. My
daughter plays competitive tennis in Florida, USA where the depth of
competition is very tough. Having the ability to analyze a match both
during, and after, has proven well worth the investment in both the mobile,
and PC versions.
We have had several matches that have gone to third
sets. so I am able to discuss strategy with her after the 2nd set. In these
instances she may not know what is going wrong, and needs some hard facts to
prove my observations. When I show her the winner/unforced error ratios
between the set she won, and lost, she is able to calm down and �clean up�
her game. This has saved valuable time previously wasted in trying to
justify my advice. We can also do a quick analysis of her opponent�s
winners/errors on forehand, and backhand, to decide which side to pick on
for the third set.
Another benefit is the pre-match analysis when facing
an opponent in the database of matches. Being able to see where the ball
lands is incredibly valuable if you look for things like where they will go
on second serve, or on big points. To be able to say with confidence that my
player can expect 85% of second serves to be to the forehand, allows her to
more effectively attack that shot. If you know that your opponent will hit
first serves wide on game point or break point, you have a big advantage
over players that are trying to find patterns while they play.
Lastly, I must comment on the
value of being able to send entire matches to her coach. I bought the PC
version for me, and the coach, so that I can email him the data from matches
he cannot attend. He has told me that being able to view all this
information right on his monitor, has enabled him to craft the next week�s
training to address specific issues that may not have been considered
otherwise. All players perform differently in competition than in practice,
so the coach needs to see performance under pressure, as well. Your
program�s detail allows that better than any other I have seen.
Thank you for creating a program
that has made a positive difference in our daughter�s game.
Lin Ford, Tampa, FL USA
Using the program and I find it extremely useful. Not only in my coaching training in terms of guidelines, but also as
direct assistance with the players training. It is always easier to show a player after a match or training, you see, this is how you play,
where you served, where and how you returned. With ProTracker have "evidence" about what, together with the players analyzed, and the actual
arguments for further work. Players have become much more aware of their games, the advantages and disadvantages. with time begin to
understand better tennis at multiple levels and their approach to training is therefore more serious.
