🚀 Pickleball is evolving — and so should ratings.

At Dinkmate, we’ve spent 2 years pioneering something the sport has never had before: Vision-Based Rating (VBR).

✅ Not just wins and losses.
✅ Not just self-reported numbers.
✅ But how you actually play — shot quality, ball trajectory, consistency, teamwork, and 500+ performance features, all captured from video.

Why does this matter?
👉 Players get precise, fair ratings.
👉 Clubs unlock smarter matchmaking & balanced leagues.
👉 Coaches and organizers can select teams using objective, data-backed insights.

Today, others in the industry are beginning to explore this space — but with two years of development and unmatched expertise, we’re proud to lead the way.

This is more than a rating system. It’s the foundation for a new era of pickleball.

And the best part? You can try VBR for free.

📩 DM us to learn how VBR can elevate your game, your club, or your event.

In our new blog “Behind the Scenes of VBR: How We Measure True Pickleball Skill with Vision-Based Ratings”, we share how we’re redefining what “true skill” means in pickleball.
