Smart equipment is becoming difficult to ignore. Smart rackets, smart balls, smart bats, smart shoes, and smart wearable contact units will force federations www.psychotica.net/evb/nomi to rewrite rule frameworks. Some will argue technology enhances fairness. Others will argue it creates unfair structural advantage.

Sports identity could shift from tradition-first to tech-forward momentum — and that will change cultural attachment.
