The ball impact position is further fine-tuned with the audio data from microphone to remove the noise signals to accurately identifying the ball impact position by removing the inherent drift of the motion sensors. The rate of change of acceleration is determined for a given period of time. (1304). When the estimated rate of change of acceleration is more than a preset threshold value, then the impact is considered as a positive impact. The retrieved pre-impact data and post- impact data is integrated to capture the complete shot information (1306). The shot information or details from the database is shared with computing devices for analytics (1308). The shot information/details is analyzed, matched with preset shot information/details to identify a type of shot played by the player(1310). [00200] According to an embodiment herein, a ball impact area is identified from the plurality of sample data collected with the motion sensors using the linear acceleration. The linear motion is derived from acceleration by performing a double integration the sensor data over time. To manage the inherent motion drift resulting from the use of motion sensors and the above approach, the time window of motion capture is reduced by accurately identifying instants of time at which the motion starts and ends. The thresholds of the above are derived from numerous data sets acquired from the sensors.

The absolute rates of change of acceleration at three different axis with respect to a sample data is plotted on a chart.
