Pickleball Drill Maker Update September 2023

When we released an update to Drill Maker in September 2023 we updated the custom drill factory settings to improve the performance and consistency of shots.

Because of this update the drills on Drill Maker are newer than those that are programmed onto your machine. To get the best performance from your Pickleball machine, you should update Drill Maker to the latest version and complete a drill update to sync your machine with Drill Maker.

Once you have saved the new drills onto your machine both Drill Maker and your Pickleball machine’s drills will be synced with the latest drill settings. Follow these instructions to save the new drills onto your new Pickleball machine.
