Results and accuracy
How long does each ball take to process?
Seconds. Zoota calls your speed out loud seconds after you bowl, so you know how quick the last ball was before you bowl the next one.
How accurate is the ball speed?
Speed is calibrated to the real pitch dimensions on every delivery. Good filming conditions produce the best results.
Is DRS really possible from a phone?
Zoota reconstructs the ball path and projects pitching, impact, and wickets to support an LBW review.
For coaches
Can coaches see their players' stats?
Yes, on the Coach plan. Coaches sign in on zoota.co/coaches with their Zoota account, add the players they coach, and get a live dashboard for each one: sessions, speed, swing, spin, breakdowns and videos, exactly as they appear in the app.
How does a coach get a player's data?
The coach adds them in the portal by email or username, and the player approves the link in the Zoota app.
Who signs in to the portal?
Coaches, with their existing Zoota app account: the same email and password, or Continue with Google. There is no second set of credentials to hand out.
Can a coach edit a player's sessions?
No. Coaches can read sessions and open the full analytics for any delivery. Renaming and deleting stay with the player who recorded them.
Can we get the data out?
Yes. Settings in the Coaches Portal has a one-click download of your sessions and every ball recorded under them, as a JSON file.
