SmashLink is a pickleball paddle with 9 embedded sensors that show you exactly where every ball lands — so you can stop guessing and start improving.
You feel a mis-hit, but you don't know exactly where it landed or why. There's no data — just frustration and guesswork.
Even in lessons, your coach sees a fraction of your shots. Between sessions, you're on your own with no way to measure progress.
Most players think swinging harder wins points. The truth: off-center hits lose 40%+ of their energy. Clean contact beats raw power.
Average recreational player's center-hit rate. Pros hit 80%+. Most rec players don't even know they're mis-hitting.
Your most important number. See what percentage of hits land in the center zone — updated live after every shot. Set goals, track trends, watch yourself improve.
A real-time density map of where every ball lands on your paddle face. Filter by forehand, backhand, or force level to find hidden patterns in your game.
See the impact force of every shot in Newtons. Track your average power, compare sweet-spot force vs edge-hit force, and understand the link between contact quality and energy transfer.
Automatic rep counting for every session. Know your volume, track consistency, and see how many quality reps you're actually getting per hour of play.
After each session, the app analyzes your miss patterns and tells you exactly what to fix. Think of it as a coach who watches every rep.
9 piezoelectric discs bonded under the carbon-fiber face detect impact force, location, and timing with sub-millisecond precision.
The onboard nRF52840 MCU computes hit position via weighted centroid, measures total force, and classifies your swing — all in under 15 ms.
A 16-byte BLE packet hits your phone instantly. The app updates your heatmap, sweet-spot %, and force readout before you finish your follow-through.
Real-time heatmap, hit count, sweet-spot %, and live force readout — all updating with every swing.
Post-session miss-zone detection with specific coaching tips and force breakdown by zone.
See where every ball lands. Filter by forehand, backhand, or force level.
Paddle face too open at contact. Close your wrist 5–10° and focus on meeting the ball in front of your body rather than reaching up.
Edge hits are 40% weaker. You're likely off-balance or reaching. Focus on footwork — move your feet to the ball instead of extending your arm.
Backhand accuracy 15pts below forehand. Lead with your shoulder turn and keep your elbow closer to your body through contact.
Sweet-spot rate up 5+ points. Your center-hit rate is climbing. Keep doing what you're doing — consistency is building.
