We all want to get better at pickleball. But at some point, you hit a plateau — and it’s hard to know exactly what’s holding you back.
What if you could see exactly which shots and situations are winning and losing you points? How you compare vs your partner and opponents?
A cheat code for identifying the quickest path to improving your game. One that doesn’t care about your age, technique, playing style, or athletic ability. It cares about one thing: how much your shots help or hurt your team’s chances of winning rallies.
That’s why I created PEWPEW (Player Estimated Win Probability Effect With shots). Using shot-level data captured by video AI platforms, PEWPEW tracks how each shot shifts your team’s chances of winning the rally — transforming that performance into ratings, strengths, weaknesses, trends, and AI-ready insights.
PEWPEW: A Rating for Every Part of Your Pickleball Game
PEWPEW measures every aspect of your game—from serves, returns, and third shots to kitchen battles, transition play, forehands, backhands, and court positioning.
All of it grounded in two things every pickleball player understands: winning and ratings.
We want PEWPEW to be available at every pickleball venue. But before that can happen, we need to put it in the hands of real players and learn what insights matter most.
That’s why we’re offering free Early Access to PEWPEW Analytics (for those of you with games loaded on PB Vision).
You will receive a personalized pickleball analytics report that helps explain which shots and situations are driving your results.
Every report is designed to work directly with AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Upload your report and get a personalized analysis, ask follow-up questions, compare sessions, and identify the areas of your game with the greatest opportunity for improvement.
There is no limit on the number of games analyzed. We recommend at least five games, but the insights become significantly more powerful when multiple sessions are included.

PEWPEW tells you what’s happening and how much it’s costing or earning you — the measurement you need before you can prioritize what to fix.
