8 pickleball skills. One tap.
Serves. Dinks. Drives. Volleys. Lobs. Drops. Returns. Footwork. Every skill has its own dedicated analysis pipeline — the AI knows what "good" looks like for each one and grades you against it.
- • Serving
- • Dinking
- • Driving
- • Volleys
- • Lobs
- • Drops
- • Returns
- • Footwork
No guessing about the camera angle.
Every drill comes with an illustrated setup: where to stand, where to put your phone, how the feeder should feed, what swing mechanics to focus on, and a target rep count. Hit the target duration and you have everything the AI needs.
Partner feed, swing type, rep count — written for each skill.
Exact side-court angle, phone height, and framing distance.
Typically 1-3 minutes, capped at 8 minutes per drill.
Shoot in-app or pick existing footage from your gallery.
Reviewed by your chosen coach — in their voice.
Coach Crunch cheers you on. The Dill Sergeant calls you out. Mastermind breaks it down strategically. Whichever coach you picked does the review — with rep counts, a 1-10 rating ring, and a conversation layer so you can ask follow-up questions about the footage itself.
It learns with you.
Every review pulls from your profile, your stated goals, your prior conversations, and your past drill reviews. What was medium-priority last month becomes the rep you nail this month. The feedback evolves with your game instead of restarting from zero.
"Reps 4, 7, and 10 were especially smooth." Not generic praise — observations tied to moments in your video.
HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW — so you know what to work on first. Each fix tied to observed reps and your goals.
The official rulebook, a full strategy canon, a curated drill library, and paddle data — all feeding every review.
Every review ends with a drill tailored to the flaw the AI just saw. Tap one and your coach walks you through it.
Turn your driveway into a film room.
Every drill you record makes you a better player — and makes your AI coach know your game even better. The know-how to actually get good at pickleball, on repeat.
31 coach-authored drills, ranked by your level
A complete pickleball drill library — six DUPR skill bands from 2.5 to 5.0+, four shot families (dinks, drives, drops, volleys), and four setups (partner, ball machine, wall, solo). Every drill comes with mechanics, drill-flow targets, and an intro voice-over from the coach you picked.
Five mechanical steps per drill
Stance, grip, contact, follow-through, recovery — adapted to the shot. Each step has an illustration and 3–4 cues you can hold in your head between reps.
A goal you can actually measure
Setup → sequence → restart rule → switch rule → goal. "Twenty in-zone reps in a row." "60% of drops land soft in the kitchen." Not "go drill for an hour."
Same drill, eight different intros
Sergeant barks. Chill rolls. Pro talks numbers. Zen breathes. The mechanics don't change — your motivation does. Switch coaches any time in your profile.
Filter by level, shot family, or what equipment you have today. Run a drill, then queue an AI video review when you're ready to see how the reps actually looked.

Mastermind
Chess-player mentality, reads opponents, thinks ahead
Treats every rally like a puzzle. All about court IQ, shot selection, and outsmarting opponents.

Zen Master
Mindfulness-based, calm, wise, philosophical
