Ball tracking at the nets, with just your iPhone. Prop it behind the bowler and Willow counts the balls and estimates speed, line, length and swing for each one it can track, plus where it pitched and whether it would have hit the stumps. Speeds are camera estimates, not radar readings. Each ball is saved as its own clip, ready to watch back or replay in 3D. And when you pick up the bat, Willow's AI reads your body through the shot. BALL TRACKING AT THE NETS • Estimated release speed in km/h • Line and length, and the spot where it pitched • Swing in the air and deviation off the pitch • Would it have hit? An estimate from the ball's path after it pitches • Works against a bowling machine, a sidearm thrower or a real bowler 3D replay and the stumps prediction are not available in the United States. YOUR SESSION AT A GLANCE • Pitch map with length bands • Beehive at the stumps • Release points • Ball-by-ball speed chart • Movement: swing in the air and seam off the pitch EVERY BALL ON VIDEO • Each delivery saved as its own clip, with its estimated speed when it could be read • 3D replay of each tracked ball: the path from release to the stumps, with its swing and speed, from any angle SETTING UP 1. Stand your iPhone well behind the bowler's stumps, at head height, out of the line of the ball. 2. Keep both sets of stumps in shot. 3. Check the stump markers, start the session and bowl. A steady phone, good light and a clear view of both sets of stumps give the best numbers. Wear proper protective gear at the nets. BATTING SHOT ANALYSIS • Film a shot and the AI names it: drives, pulls, cuts, flicks, sweeps and more • Reads your body through the shot: swing plane, front-knee bend, arm extension and more • AI coaching tips on each clip: what's working, what to fix and one drill to try next • Drop in a long net video and Willow finds the shots, then writes a session report For shot analysis, film front-on with your whole body in frame. YOUR COACH • A plan built from what you do in Willow: sessions, shots, stats and reflections • Training diary for nets and matches, including your tracked sessions • Stats and progress over time, including personal bests and how you get out • Paste in your career stats to keep them alongside your training THE MENTAL SIDE • Write a short reflection after an innings and spot the patterns that keep coming back • Track your mood over time Not therapy or medical advice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CricPass at none against Willow's 1. CricPass also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
