Hey Product Hunt! I'm Raunak, the solo developer behind Pickle Sensei.
I play a lot of pickleball, and the hardest part of improving was knowing what I was actually doing wrong. Lessons are expensive and filming yourself doesn't tell you much on its own.
So I built a coach that lives on your phone. You set it up side-on, step into frame on your own, hit a stroke, and on-device pose tracking measures your form. Instead of a wall of stats, you get a score and one clear fix to work on next, plus a slow-mo replay that pauses at each key phase. It's built for solo practice, not for filming games.
A few things I cared about:
Privacy: your video never leaves your phone.
- Honesty: ratings are coaching estimates, not official ratings, and a failed scan never uses your free rating.
- Fast: no shot picker or timer. It detects the stroke and stops on its own.
It's free to try with one rating, and Pro unlocks unlimited. I'll be here all day answering questions.
one side-on camera is a real constraint for pickleball specifically, a lot of what separates a good dink from a bad one is paddle face angle and wrist position at contact, which a silhouette view from the side can hide or guess wrong on. the "honesty" framing in your post is the right instinct, so does the technique score account for what the single angle genuinely can't see, or is there a risk it confidently scores a stroke well when the real fault was never visible to the camera in the first place?
