A disc toss even decides which team starts BOWLING Drop an AirPod into the thumb hole and plug it with a piece of sponge. Every roll is measured: • Ball speed and release rev rate • Roll time, spin-axis tilt and axis rotation (hook potential) • 3D replay of the ball spinning about its measured axis • Up to 4 players sharing one ball, rolls credited by turn order RUNNING: TREADMILL & OUTDOOR Tuck an AirPod under your shoelaces and it becomes a footpod: • Cadence, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, running power • Outdoors, GPS adds pace, distance and your route map • Upload runs to Strava, form metrics included, like a dedicated footpod CYCLING Strap the AirPod securely around your wheel hub, the same spot dedicated speed sensors use, or wear it on your leg as a cadence sensor.

The call

TPI Pro's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.5). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
