  • Binocular 4K vision tracks shot placement, depth, and contact point

  • Moves with Mecanum wheels to receive and rally anywhere on court

  • Serve, volley, lob, and rally modes built in

  • No sensors or setup—just hit and go

  • Apple Watch + app integration for shot tracking and stats

  • Learns your patterns, adjusts intensity, and gives instant feedback

  • Records every drill and session for breakdown and review

  • Custom ball types: flat, topspin, slice

  • Currently testing a dedicated pickleball version

It rallies, it calls lines, it plays like a real partner.
