What changed and why it matters
If you play pickleball or padel, you now get the same depth SwingVantage gives golfers and tennis players: coaching that speaks your sport, drills matched to your faults, paddle guidance, benchmarks, and a stage-by-stage development pathway. Multi-sport athletes can analyze all seven sports in one place.
Pickleball and padel are among the fastest-growing racket sports in the world, and their mechanics are genuinely different from tennis — shorter swings, the non-volley zone, and (in padel) the walls. Treating them as their own sports, with their own rules and drills, is the honest way to actually help. Padel has no single universal rating, so we never invent one.
Before vs. after
Before
Pickleball and padel players had to make do with tennis tools and terminology that did not fit their game — the same engine with relabeled tips.
After
Each sport has its own diagnostic engine, sport-specific drills, paddle equipment guidance, benchmarks, and a live Athletic Journey — coaching that speaks pickleball and padel natively.
How to use it
Where to find it: Pick Pickleball or Padel from the sport selector, then use Diagnose, Drills, Equipment, and Athletic Journey just like any other sport.
Do you need to do anything? None — just choose your sport and start.
In a nutshell
SwingVantage now supports seven sports — golf, tennis, pickleball, padel, baseball, slow-pitch softball, and fast-pitch softball. Pickleball and padel are first-class additions with their own diagnostic engines (compact paddle mechanics, dinks, third-shot drops, and kitchen play for pickleball; wall play, bandeja/vibora, and doubles positioning for padel), sport-specific drills, paddle equipment guidance, benchmarks, and live Athletic Journeys. Padel intentionally has no single numeric rating.
