Attack
Your overhead share
The share of classified strokes that are smashes or bandejas, scaled into an attacking-play signal.
Not winners or points won.

has a shape.
See how you played, beyond the score. Six signals turn your wrist data into a picture of your padel session, alongside your own recent history.

01 / The six signals
One shape.
Six ways to read it.
Each axis runs from 0 to 100. A larger shape means more of these signals—not automatically a better match.
Power
Your wrist intensity
Average normalized wrist-swing intensity across classified strokes. Higher means more intense wrist motion.
Not ball speed or racket force.
72 Example / 100
Serve
Your serve rhythm
How repeatable your wrist intensity is across detected serves. With fewer than five serves, this axis stays neutral.
Not serve accuracy or effectiveness.
80 Example / 100
Defence
Your defensive shot mix
The share of classified strokes that are lobs or backhands, scaled into a defensive-play signal.
Not defensive success or court position.
48 Example / 100
Control
Your pattern repeatability
How consistent wrist intensity is within each shot type. Less variation produces a higher signal.
Not shot placement or technique quality.
76 Example / 100
Movement
Your active-play tempo
Classified strokes per minute of detected active play. A proxy for how busy your stroke activity was.
Not steps, distance or court coverage.
66 Example / 100
02 / Your baseline
You, compared
with you.
The second outline puts this session beside your last ten compatible sessions of the same kind. Padel stays with padel. Different session types stay separate.
Look for a shift in the pattern—not a perfect hexagon.
More overheads this time.

+20 Axis points · not percent
In this example, smashes and bandejas made up more of your classified strokes. It does not mean those shots won more points.
The shape, in one number
A session grade.
Not a report card.
Your 0–10 grade averages the six Game DNA signals. It describes how the session played—not whether you won or lost.
The grade appears with at least 10 classified strokes.
7.0 / 10
Example session grade(78 + 72 + 80 + 48 + 76 + 66) ÷ 6 = 70 → 7.0 / 10
03 / How it works
Play first. Read it back.
No extra sensor. No courtside phone.
Just the watch you already wear.
01
Start on your wrist.
Wear Apple Watch on your racket wrist and start a padel session. Your watch records motion while you play.
02
Let your shots make the shape.
PlayDNA classifies wrist-motion patterns and calculates the six signals on device. You can review and correct detected strokes.
03
Open your Match profile.
After syncing to iPhone, read your Game DNA, compare the outlines, and explore the rest of your session.
Good to know
Clear about
what we know.
Your wrist tells part of the story.
We keep the limits in view.
Does Game DNA work for tennis?
Game DNA is currently available for padel. Tennis supports scoring, detected-stroke counts and health tracking; tennis shot insights are still calibrating.
What if there isn’t enough data?
The session grade needs at least 10 classified strokes. Serve rhythm needs five detected serves; below that, the serve axis stays at a neutral 50—not a measured result.
Is my motion data private?
Analysis runs on your devices. Raw motion stays there unless you opt in to anonymous correction sharing.
Is this the same as Coach?
No. Game DNA describes your session. Coach uses qualifying match evidence to suggest a focus and a drill. A lower DNA axis is not, by itself, a coaching recommendation.
