About

Padel Motion Tracker

Features
Read full description

Padel Motion Tracker turns a phone clip of a single stroke into a technique score and one clear thing to work on. No coach standing next to you, no account, no video upload — the analysis runs on your iPhone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the stroke you want to analyse. 2. Film one stroke, diagonally from the front. A clubmate holding the phone is enough. 3. The app tracks your body and racket through the swing and rates your technique from 1 to 100. 4. Step through the swing frame by frame and see exactly where the technique slips. SEVEN STROKES • Forehand • Backhand • Forehand volley • Backhand volley • Bandeja • Víbora • Kick smash Each stroke comes with a template video — this is how it should look — so you can compare your swing against a clean reference before and after you film. FEEDBACK YOU CAN ACT ON Every result names what already works and what to change, in plain padel language: bend your knees in the preparation, meet the ball higher, finish across your body. One instruction at a time, nothing you need a coaching licence to read. Critical points are marked directly on the frame where they happen, so you see the moment rather than reading about it. BUILT FOR PADEL The reference positions come from padel, not from tennis. A bandeja is scored as a bandeja: the flat contact point, the height, the way the racket travels. Left-handed players can switch the racket arm in one tap. YOUR VIDEOS STAY ON YOUR PHONE No sign-up and no video upload. Your clips are analysed on the device and never leave it. The analysis works without an internet connection; only buying or restoring a subscription needs one. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Every analysis is saved with its score. Your personal best per stroke sits on the home screen — keep it as a video with the explanations — so you can see whether the change you made last week actually held up. FREE TO START, PRO FOR EVERY STROKE Download for free and analyse two of your own strokes at no cost. The template videos can always be analysed for free. With Pro you analyse as many strokes as you like — as a yearly subscription with a free trial, or monthly. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled at any time in your Apple Account settings. Already bought the app before it became free? You keep full access, no subscription needed. WHAT YOU NEED • An iPhone and one clip per stroke • A diagonal camera angle from the front of the player • Daylight or decent court lighting — the tracking needs to see your body and racket WHAT THIS APP IS NOT It is not a match tracker, it does not count shots during play, and it does not replace a coach who can see your footwork and your decisions. It rates one thing very specifically: how the stroke itself is executed. Available in English, German and Spanish.
