Track every match. Analyse every shot. Get better every session. PADA is the all-in-one padel companion that turns your iPhone and Apple Watch into a complete performance system, from the first serve to the final match point. NEW IN 2.0: STROKE INTELLIGENCE Pada now learns your strokes from you. Spend about two minutes on your Apple Watch teaching one: ten guided reps, with the watch asking "did it land?" after each. From then on, that stroke is recognised from your own swings instead of a general rulebook. Anything you haven't taught it yet still gets an answer, clearly marked Estimated, so you always know the difference. Teach a stroke: guided calibration on the watch, then a Check your reps screen on your iPhone, where every rep is drawn out and the swings unlike the others are flagged for you. Stroke health: a leave-one-out check against your own examples, stroke by stroke, showing what Pada can genuinely tell apart and what it still confuses. What was this? When your own examples and the general model disagree, Pada asks instead of guessing. Answer the question and that shot becomes a new example. You get the context too: the rally, the neighbouring shots, how hard it landed, whether the point ended there. Accuracy check: pick one stroke, hit only that stroke, and Pada scores itself against the truth. Export the results, raw motion data included, if you want to dig deeper. Live stroke counts on your wrist during the match, with a light tap when Pada is confident. Ten strokes: forehand, backhand, smash, bandeja, víbora, serve, forehand and backhand volley, forehand and backhand lob. Forget a single stroke, or everything Pada learned, whenever you want. Stroke recognition runs on-device. The raw motion windows never leave the device that recorded them, and what Pada learns syncs through your own iCloud. No account, no ads, no data mining. LIVE SCORER Keep score in real time from your Apple Watch. Hands-free, distraction-free. Pada syncs the score between your wrist and your phone so you never lose track of the game.
