- Video never leaves your phone
Film one shot from the side
How it works
One shot in, one fix out
No shot picker, no questionnaire, no dashboard. Pick a clip and the app does the rest.
Film one shot from the side
Prop your phone at the sideline and record a few seconds of a single shot. A clip already on your camera roll works too.
Get your score and your top fix
Seconds later: a measured form score out of 10, what you did well, and the one fix that matters most, in plain coach language.
Practise the drill, then scan again
Every fix comes with a matched drill. Do it, film the shot again, and watch the number move.
Your result
Three answers, then it stops
What you did, what to fix, what to practise. The deep breakdown is one tap away when you want it.
A measured score
Out of 10, computed on your phone from a 3D read of your body through the swing. Same clip, same score, every time.
What you did well
Up to two real strengths, so you keep what already works instead of changing everything at once.
One fix, in coach voice
“Push the ball, don't swing at it.” Never “elbow flexion deviation.” Joint angles live under See full analysis.
Your drill
The drill matched to your fix, with steps, timing and reps. Practise it, then analyze the same shot again.
Training programs
Know exactly what to practise today
Eight programs and 116 lessons, written for recreational players between 2.5 and 4.0. Follow a level path or fix one skill. The app picks today's lesson; you show up and hit balls.
- Every lesson is short: learn in under a minute, practise 5 to 12 minutes, log your reps.
- Your result is compared with your last attempt at the same drill, so improvement is a number you earned, not a badge.
- A three-tap check-in after a match feeds the next recommendation.
Pickleball Foundations and the first five lessons of your level path are free.

Share
Share the shot, not a spreadsheet
After a scan, DinkAI pulls the sharpest frames from your clip and builds an Instagram-ready carousel: your shot, a caption you can edit, and the fix you're working on.
- Real frames from your video. No skeleton overlays, no charts.
- Sized for Instagram and TikTok posts, saved straight to Photos.
- One small DinkAI mark in the corner. That's it.
Built to be straight with you
A coach that only says what it can see
A score is only useful if it is repeatable and explainable. So the app follows a few rules and does not bend them.
Measured, not guessed
Your score comes from pose measurement of your swing. The AI writes the words; it does not grade you.
Nothing invented
If a metric was not measured on your clip, it is not shown. No ratings you didn't earn, no fake counters.
Your video stays on your phone
Clips are analyzed on device. With your permission, four still frames go to a vision model to check paddle and grip, and they are not stored.
One thing at a time
Working on one fix is the fastest way to improve. Everything else waits under See full analysis.

FAQ
Common questions
Is DinkAI free to use?
Yes. The app is free to download and your first 3 analyses are free, each with a score, a summary, one fix, one drill and the share carousel. The Pickleball Foundations program and the first five lessons of your level path are free too. Pro unlocks unlimited analyses, every program and the full breakdown. Prices are shown in the app.
How does the analysis work?
You film one shot from the side, or pick a clip from your camera roll. The app tracks your body in 3D through the swing, on your phone, and scores the form out of 10. It then tells you what you did well, the one fix to work on first, and matches a drill to it.
What should I film?
A few seconds of a single shot, filmed from the sideline so your whole body is in frame. A friend holding the phone or a phone propped on a bench both work. Wide, behind-the-court and portrait clips work too, but a side view gives the clearest read.
Does my video get uploaded?
No. Your clip is analyzed on your phone and never leaves it. If you say yes to vision coaching, four still frames from around contact are sent to a vision model to check paddle face and grip, and they are not stored. Saying no still gets you the full measured analysis.
What skill levels is DinkAI for?
Recreational players, roughly 2.5 to 4.0. The level paths run from Pickleball Foundations to From 3.5 to 4.0, and the fixes are written in plain coach language, not biomechanics jargon.
Is DinkAI on Android?
Not yet. DinkAI is on iPhone today. The court finder, drills and guides on this website work on any device.
Can I still find courts and drills without the app?
Yes. The court map, the free drill library, the round robin generator and the blog are all on this website and need no account.
