Pickleball Coach Near Me: Coaching, Clinics & Drills

DinkAI is an AI pickleball coach for iPhone. Film one shot, get a measured form score out of 10, the one fix to work on first, and the drill that fixes it. Free to try, video stays on your phone. Find local options with location-based search and filters.

Why it matters

Most recreational players plateau between 3.0 and 4.0 because nobody tells them the one thing to change. A lesson costs $60 to $120 an hour, and the advice is gone by the next session.

How DinkAI helps

DinkAI tracks your body in 3D through one filmed swing, on the phone, and scores the form the same way every time. You get what you did well, one fix in plain coach language, and a drill matched to it. Practise it, film again, and watch the number move.

How it works

1
Film one shot from the side
Prop your phone at the sideline and record a few seconds of a single shot. A clip from your camera roll works too.
2
Get your score and your top fix
Seconds later: a form score out of 10, up to two strengths, and the one fix that matters most. The score is measured from pose data, so the same clip always gets the same score.
3
Practise the matched drill
Every fix comes with a drill with steps, timing and reps. The Programs tab turns it into a plan if you want one.
4
Film again
Run the same shot after a week of drilling and compare the two scores.

FAQ

What does DinkAI actually measure?

From a 3D pose track of one swing it measures contact point relative to the body, the hips to shoulders to hand sequence, knee flexion, stance width, head stability, follow-through and recovery, then scores the form out of 10 against a profile for touch shots or power shots.

Is DinkAI a replacement for an in-person coach?

No. It is the feedback loop between lessons: a repeatable score, one fix and a drill, available on the court the moment you film. A coach still sees things a phone cannot, like decision-making and tactics.

How much does DinkAI cost?

The app is free to download with 3 free analyses, the Pickleball Foundations program and the first five lessons of your level path. Pro unlocks unlimited analyses and every program on a yearly or monthly plan; prices are shown in the app.

Does my video get uploaded?

No. The clip is analysed on the phone and never leaves it. With your permission, four still frames from around contact go to a vision model to check paddle face and grip, and they are not stored.

Is DinkAI on Android?

Not yet. It is iPhone only today.
