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.
