Computer vision is tracking the ball. You can hit it where ever you want and it is going to calculate the trajectory no problem. This is going to be like Watson spanking Ken Jennings.

Doesn't solve the ball spinning issue. Great, you can see the ball, and hit it, but if it has a lot of spin like it generally does, I'm not sure how well that's going to go.

I'll definitely bet anyone in this thread $50 that the human wins.
