Key Features of the New App
User-Friendly Interface
The app now features four main screens:
- Start Here: Simple controls for quick and easy operation.
- Trainings: Mixed shot drills, including high and low ball variations.
- Programs: Create and customize your own training sessions, or download sessions from padelshooter.com.
- Settings: Configure various options not directly related to training control.
Enhanced Training Experience
The app simplifies the process of starting a training session. All drills come with optimized settings for speed, spin, frequency, width, and height, which can be easily adjusted each time you start a session. Your preferred settings are now automatically saved, eliminating the need to manually re-enter them for future sessions.
Consistent Controls
Unlike the old app, which had a mix of buttons, sliders, and typing inputs, the new app offers a uniform control system across all screens, ensuring a smoother and more intuitive user experience.
Multilingual Support
The app now supports 15 languages: English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, Finnish, Italian, German, Japanese, Arabic, Latvian, Norwegian and Dutch.
Extra possibillity for tennis
The app is standard used for padel but the machine could be set for tennis, where the speed is higher than for padel. At the moment the buttons are still the same but several trainings are also useful for tennis. Also you can make your programs for tennis.
Comprehensive User Guide
A global description on how to use the app is now conveniently included in the Settings screen, making it easy for new users to get started.
Settings & Program Sharing
You can now easily import and export your settings and training programs, allowing you to share them with other users or transfer them between devices. Some phones (iPhone) have limitations to store programs on phone or need to install a “File Manager” app on the phone for this.
Enhanced Court Utilization
A new feature allows better use of the PadelShooter on the court. When practicing with a single player on the left or right side, the machine can be positioned to cover the entire half-court, allowing for full utilization of the side walls in your training programs.

How to start playing
Customizable Training with the PadelShooter
The PadelShooter is designed to offer fully customizable training settings, allowing players to tailor each session to their exact skill level and preferences.
Adjustable Training Parameters
For all built-in training programs, the following settings can be modified:
Speed: Controls the ball velocity.
Spin: Applies topspin or backspin to the ball.
Frequency: Adjusts the time interval between each ball.
Width: Determines the horizontal ball placement.
Height: Sets the vertical launch position of the ball.
Additionally, for drills involving randomized ball heights, the net height can be adjusted. Unlike traditional ball machines—where reducing speed often results in balls hitting the net—the PadelShooter compensates by intelligently adjusting the trajectory when the net position is set higher.
Smart Delay for High Balls
A unique feature of the PadelShooter is its adaptive delay system. Standard ball machines require lowering the frequency for high balls, forcing unnecessary waiting time between low shots. The PadelShooter solves this by allowing a high base frequency while applying an extra delay only after high balls, ensuring optimal rhythm without compromising efficiency.
Adaptable for All Skill Levels
Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, the PadelShooter’s precision settings ensure a training experience that matches your level. By fine-tuning each parameter, players can create drills that challenge and improve their game effectively.
Basic settings
Advanced Variability Training with the PadelShooter
The PadelShooter offers dynamic training modes with adjustable variation in ball height and width, allowing players to customize drills for any skill level.
Variable Ball Placement Settings
Height Setting: Defines the maximum ball height for variation drills (e.g., alternating between high and low shots). In specific exercises (e.g., bandeja and volley training), it sets the position of the high ball.
- Net Setting: Defines the lowest ball height for variation drills and the height of the lowest ball height in combination of shots (volley in “Volley – Bandeja”).
- Width Setting: Controls the horizontal spread of the balls, enabling left-right variation within the defined range.
These parameters can be adjusted to create easy or challenging drills, ensuring progressive skill development. Also the speed could be set very low and still the Net setting could protect from shooting in the net.
Optimizing Ball Trajectory
If the ball bounces too far (reaching the back wall):
Reduce the height setting, or
Lower the speed.
If the ball hits the net:
Increase the speed, or
Raise the height setting.
- Raise Net setting (in random height and combinations of shot trainings)
Net Position Lock for Consistent Training
In randomized ball-height drills, the net position can be fixed to prevent balls from being shot too low. This ensures that even the lowest randomized balls stay above the net, creating a defined playable zone—both horizontally and vertically—for precise, effective training.
Realistic Variability for Game-Like Training
To simulate real-match conditions, many drills allow randomized ball placement within a user-defined zone:
Horizontal variation: Set left and right boundaries to control side-to-side movement.
Vertical variation: Adjust high and low limits to mix shots (e.g., alternating between volleys and bandejas/smashes).
This variability ensures no two balls are identical, replicating the unpredictability of an opponent’s shots while keeping the drill within your desired difficulty range.
Precision Customization
Side-Specific Training: Focus on your preferred side—left, right, or both—with a single setting.
Targeted Micro-Zones: For advanced players, narrow the target area to as little as 10–20% of the court (e.g., corner drills with mixed wall bounces) to hone precision with minimal, controlled variation.
Adaptive Timing for Mixed-Height Drills
Unlike conventional machines, the PadelShooter intelligently adjusts timing for high/low ball combinations:
Maintain a high base frequency for rapid-fire low balls.
Automatically insert an extra pause after high balls, eliminating unnecessary waits while ensuring optimal preparation time.
Why It Stands Out
The PadelShooter’s granular control over placement, spin, and timing—coupled with adaptive features like smart delays and micro-zone targeting—makes it the most versatile training tool for players at any level, from beginners to professionals.
Program your trainings
In all Padelshooters you can make your own trainings by creating programs with maximum 60 shots. Many customers already made their programs and set the shots exactly as they wanted, some sent videos of these spontaneous to us some of these and are shown on the website. Very easy was that with just clicking on a button in the app, there could be downloaded many “ready made” trainings from the padelshooter.com website. There are programs in every category and level but you can download these and change (some) shots for your level or what you prefer. It gives a good start to help you making programs yourself.
Making a training / program is very powerful and not difficult. You know some settings from the inbuilt trainings, what is your preferred speed, spin, frequency, width and height and this knowledge could be used to create a shot. You test a shot and copy it, for example to another shot with a different width so the same shot will be shot at some other width position. After a few programs, it is clear how to do and then you are as flexible as you want and you can store the programs on your phone.
Customize every aspect of your Padelshooter experience with these powerful tools:
Multilingual Interface: Fully supports 15 languages including English, Español, Français, 中文, Português, Polski, Svenska, Suomi, Italiano, Deutsch, 日本語, العربية, Latviešu, Norsk, and Nederlands – ensuring accessibility for players worldwide
