Other pickleball apps hand you 200 drill videos and leave the hard part to you. Drilld builds today's session from your DUPR, your weaknesses, and what you drilled last. 135 drills, 13 categories, a court diagram on every one. Each drill has 5 tier benchmarks you have to earn: clear one and you pick "nailed it" or "got lucky," and got lucky doesn't advance you. Every 14 days Drilld audits you honestly: READY, STAY, AVOIDING, CALIBRATE, BURNED. Free 14-day trial. iPhone and Android.
I've been playing for 1 full year. I play 6-7 times a week, took clinics, watched more pickleball YouTube than I want to admit. Every coach told me the same thing: be more consistent. Nobody ever told me how to measure that.
So I built the thing I wanted. Drilld asks your DUPR, your goal, how many people you've got, and how long you have. Then it builds the session — weighting the weaknesses you named, skipping what you drilled the last three sessions, and keeping the difficulty just above where you actually are.
The part I'm most proud of is the part that makes people uncomfortable. Every drill has five tier benchmarks. Coming from a military background everybody can use a little structure and more tough love. When you clear one tier, you tell the app whether you nailed it or got lucky. "Got lucky" doesn't advance the tier. Sure, you can lie, but you only hurt yourself and plus the engine will start serving you drills above your real level and practice will just feel bad. And every 14 days it audits you and says READY, STAY, AVOIDING, CALIBRATE, or BURNED — including telling you that you've been dodging your backhand for three weeks.
135 drills, 13 skill categories, 10 match-pressure battles, court diagrams generated from the drill data rather than stock art. Solo, partner, and ball-machine formats.
Built solo. Happy to answer anything about the session algorithm — it's grounded in real
motor-learning research (challenge point, contextual interference, spaced retrieval) and
I'll gladly nerd out on it.
