👥 Review Player Ratings Across an Entire Folder
Running a rating event, clinic, league, or placement session? Organize the games in one folder and review the whole session in one place.
See each tagged player’s average Overall and component ratings, game count, and game-by-game results.
Find missing player tags and use Tag All to work through them in one queue.
Use subfolders for courts, rounds, or dates while including those games in the parent folder’s report.
🧠 See Six New Aspects of Your Game
PB Vision now organizes your performance into six component ratings: Kitchen Game, Ball Control, Defense, Offense, Court IQ, and Targeting.
Each rating groups related skills to help you spot your strengths and decide what to work on next.
📊 See the Strategy Behind the Score
Use Team Stats to spot key match patterns:
Forward Pressure: See how effectively each team moves the rally in its favor.
Finishing Ability: See how efficiently a team closes the point once it gains the advantage.
Targeting: See where each player directs the ball and who receives more of the action.
💵 Earn Cash for Referrals
Ambassadors can now choose cash rewards instead of bonus video minutes when someone they refer starts their first paid subscription. Your existing referral link and QR code still work.
👀 Sneak Peek - In App AI Coach
Ask questions, analyze multiple games, and receive suggestions linked directly to relevant shots. No longer will you need to export data to ChatGPT/Claude!

👀 Sneak peek
We're working on three exciting projects that we hope to ship later this month:
Brand new skill ratings - Six new component ratings are on the way: Kitchen Game, Ball Control, Defense, Offense, Court IQ, and Targeting. Together, they'll show more clearly how you play and where to improve next, from positioning and execution to decision-making, pressure, and placement.
In-app AI Coach/Assistant - Ask questions across multiple games and get suggestions linked directly to relevant shots. You'll no longer need to export data to ChatGPT or Claude!
Bookmarks and on-video drawing - Save important moments and add clear visual feedback directly to a video. Switch between clear modes for viewing, editing, and marking up videos. Use bookmarks, markup, crop, and edit tools to add notes, drawings, or stickers tied to exact moments in a game.

This update introduces social-ready clip creation in the iOS app, sharper library previews, video downloads for Starter members, faster initial loading, and several improvements that make it easier to understand and review your recordings.
But first, here’s what you can expect for the rest of the year.
Landing in August:
Video bookmarks and on-video drawing + stickers
Android clip exports
Direct to Instagram sharing
Apple Watch app
Background video compression and uploads on iPhone
Our priorities for the rest of the year include:
Profile refresh: A more compelling, social player profile inspired by apps like Strava.
New skill ratings: Six data-backed skills, predictive stats, and drill-down tools that explain your rating and how to improve it.
In-app AI assistant: Ask questions, analyze multiple games, and receive suggestions linked directly to relevant shots.
Drill analysis: Review practice sessions such as serves and drops, with dead time removed and trajectories and success stats summarized.
Now, on to what’s new —
🎬 Create and Share Clips from the iOS App
Turn your favorite PB Vision moments into clips you can save and share.
Choose a highlight or a selection of shots, then export it in the format that works best for where you plan to share it:
Full frame for preserving the complete court view
Vertical 9:16 for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
Square 1:1 for feeds, messages, and other social posts
For vertical and square clips, PB Vision automatically follows the action to help keep the ball and players in view.
Your finished clip saves directly to Photos on your iPhone. From there, you can share it through Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Messages, or any other app you normally use.
Clip creation is currently available through the PB Vision iOS app. Direct to Instagram posting and Android clip exports are in progress (ETA August).
🖼️ Sharper Library Previews
Newly analyzed videos receive sharper library thumbnails. On desktop, hover over a video to see a short looping preview and quickly identify the game or moment you are looking for.
⬇️ Video Downloads Are Now Included with Starter
Starter members can now download their original videos directly from PB Vision. This makes it easier to keep a local copy, move a recording to another device, or use the original footage in another editing or coaching workflow.
🎯 More Precise Playback and Shot Review
We have continued refining the new video player introduced in our previous update.
Improved Jog Wheel
The jog wheel has been refined across mobile and desktop to make precise scrubbing feel smoother and more predictable. Use it to move slowly through contact points, footwork, paddle position, and other details that can be difficult to see at normal speed.
Follow the Current Shot in 3D
When reviewing shots in Shot Explorer, the 3D trajectory view now visually emphasizes the shot that is currently playing.
🏓 Explore the Refreshed Demo Gallery
If you are introducing someone to PB Vision—or simply want to explore a strong example before uploading a recording—the gallery is an easy way to see the player, game statistics, Shot Explorer, and other analysis tools in action.
👀 In Case You Missed It: A Better Way to Review Every Rally
Earlier this month, we completely rebuilt the PB Vision video player around the way pickleball players review their games. The new player includes:
A rally-aware timeline that separates rallies from dead time
Auto-Skip to move directly to the next rally
The ability to loop an individual rally
Playback speeds from 0.1x to 3x
Fullscreen viewing and AirPlay support
Crop and zoom controls

✂️ Video Cropping
Zoom in and crop your video during playback to focus on player positioning, shot execution, footwork, or specific areas of the court for a closer look at every rally.
⌨️ Expanded Keyboard Shortcuts
Review videos even faster with expanded keyboard shortcuts for playback, rally navigation, playback speed, and frame-by-frame analysis. A full list of shortcuts is available directly from the video player.
🟢 More Visible Ball Trail
We’ve made the ball trail easier to see during playback, helping you follow shot placement more clearly throughout each rally.
👀 More Coming Soon
This new player is just the beginning. Clip exports are already rolling out — iOS app users can export and share highlights today, and we'll show you everything they can do in our next update. Bookmarks, on-video drawing, and more ways to analyze and share your matches are in development.
