Dupr is broken

For casual and amateur players, DUPR is broken. More accurately, it was never built for casual players in the first place. You can’t log a match unless everyone has an account, you’re punished for playing with friends who aren’t as skilled, and God forbid you log a game for fun — you'll destroy your rating.

‍

Paddles is for the casually serious, like Strava for Pickleball.

The ones who play hard, not because a rating depends on it, but because progress feels good. You want to tickle the net on the third shot, dial in your backhand, cross-court dink, drive with more power — and see that effort add up.

‍

We built Paddles to track your game, not judge it.

There’s no rating to protect and no incentive to game the system. In fact, opponents aren't even required to get the most out of Paddles.

‍

Everything about the app has been thoughtfully designed to protect the soul of the game rather than a number.

• Your Progress Score replaces your rating and is totally private.
• You can hide matches you don’t want affecting your stats.
• You can use a Fill Player for anyone who doesn’t have the app.

Here’s to having fun and playing hard 🍻

I'll see you on the court,
