Padel AI Analysis: What a Match Video Reveals About Your Game
A single match video contains more information about your game than ten coaching sessions can cover – you just need to extract it. That's what AI video analysis does: it tracks ball and players frame by frame and turns 45 minutes of padel into concrete, comparable numbers. Here's what comes out of it and why it matters.
What the AI reads from your video
From a normal phone video behind the court, the analysis detects:
- Shot types: serve, forehand and backhand volley, bandeja, vibora, smash and groundstrokes – counted per player.
- Distance covered: how many metres each player runs during the match.
- Ball speed: pace peaks, for example on the smash.
- Heatmap: where you stand – and where you never stand.
- Rallies: number and length of exchanges.
What the numbers reveal
Most club players overestimate their net presence and underestimate how often they play from defence. Typical aha moments from real analyses:
- Only a small share of shots are volleys – although padel points are won at the net.
- The heatmap shows a gap in the middle: the classic no man's land between net and baseline.
- One player covers far more ground than their partner – usually positioning, not fitness.
The numbers turn a feeling (“we were too passive”) into a concrete training task (“attack the net behind the bandeja more often”).
How the analysis works
Film your match with a phone from behind the court, upload the video, and get the full report a few minutes later: tracked video, per-player stats, heatmap and shot distribution. Your first analysis is free – no subscription. See a real match result in the live demo.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a special camera for padel video analysis?
No. A recent smartphone is enough. What matters is the position: elevated behind the court, with all four players and the full court in frame.
Does the AI recognise individual players?
Yes, by their position on court. After the analysis you can assign names to the four detected players and get per-player statistics.
How much does a padel video analysis cost?
The first analysis is free. After that an analysis costs €1.99 – credit packs bring the price down.
