You want to get super hi-tech? Get rid of the uprights completely. Just a bottom bar that projects a red field straight up, equipped with the technology used by police radar... if the field is interrupted, it's good.

In all seriousness, I do think that some sort of laser technology will be employed in the future...perhaps have them situated on top of the uprights. I still think we're a while away from that though.

Then how would you determine if the ball would have bounced through or not if the ball contacts the laser beam?

Why would you have to determine that???

There is no upright where the laser would be. Therefore, it makes no difference if it "would have bounced through or not." This is for above the upright. The laser is only to determine whether the ball is INSIDE the upright or not.

You can't extend an upright to the moon.
