Claim 14:
15. A sports performance sensing device, comprising:
a housing, formed in a shape of a sports implement of a same weight and size as used in a game being played using the sports implement, the housing having an outer surface;
a finger pressure sensor, formed of a pressure sensing fabric inside the outer surface of the housing, sensing pressure the outer surface of the housing, to sense at least finger pressure and finger placement over the outer surface of the housing;
additional sensors that are located inside the housing, which detect movements of the housing and transmit information indicative of said movements of the housing to an external computer, wherein the additional sensors include at least one of a speed sensor, a rotation sensor, and an acceleration sensor, and wherein the additional sensors are located in a way which is radially symmetrical, to maintain a radial symmetry of the sports implement;
wireless transmitting circuitry inside the housing, receiving information from the finger pressure sensor, and transmitting the information to an external receiving computer;
wherein the circuitry inside the housing includes at least a battery, and a processor, and a wireless communication device, which receives information from the finger pressure sensor, and creates a finger pressure map indicating where the user is touching the housing and a pressure of touching locations where the user is touching the housing, where the finger pressure map is transmitted to the external computer and is displayed on the external computer,
wherein the battery is rechargable via a wireless charging, and where the outer surface of the housing includes a visible mark on the outer surface of the sports implement to mark a location where the wireless charging is carried out.
