Facility & Tech Showcase

What the sensors see, you see too.

Every lane at Foundry is wired for data — pitch-tracking cameras, radar exit-velocity readings and biomechanics capture. Nothing here is locked in a coach's notebook; every parent can see the read-out through the Parent Portal.

01 — Bat speed & swing path

Every swing, plotted.

High-speed camera arrays across the batting lanes track bat-head speed and swing path through the zone, flagging drift before it becomes a technical fault.

29.4m/s avg. through zone
02 — Release height & seam position

Release, mapped to the millimetre.

Pitch-tracking cameras log release height and seam orientation on every delivery, building a profile that shows exactly where a bowler's consistency breaks down.

2.24m release height
03 — Footwork trigger-to-contact

The half-second that decides it.

We time the gap between trigger movement and bat-ball contact, isolating whether a player is late on the front foot or rushing across the crease.

0.31sec trigger to contact
04 — Ball exit velocity

What the bat actually did to the ball.

Radar behind the stumps logs exit velocity off the bat on every shot type, giving power hitters a hard number to train against instead of a feeling.

136km/h peak exit speed
05 — Line & length heat-map

Consistency you can see.

Every delivery in a session is plotted onto a live heat-map against a target zone, so a bowler leaves with a visual, not just a verbal, read on the spell.

91% zone consistency
