App update
Meet your real-time Digital Coach
Drop It now helps players understand their serve while they practice. Set up the phone, begin serving and the AI tracks key parts of the motion in real time, including the toss, swing path and contact sequence.
The analysis surfaces problem areas to both the player and coach. The player can then work through a coach-created drill, measure again and keep the same improvement loop moving.
Measure. Practice the right drill. Calibrate. Repeat.

For coaches
Your coaching can keep working between lessons
Publish short-form drills for the exact problems you coach every day. When Drop It detects one of those problem areas, the right drill can reach the player at the moment it is needed.
Pilot coaches can also earn from qualified drill views and referred subscriptions, creating a path for their expertise to reach players beyond their local court.
Coach expertise, delivered at the moment a player needs it.
