Smashphone: Pickleball, Tennis

Swing your iPhone and the ball goes where you sent it. Pickleball, ping pong, tennis, badminton, Smash Beat, Balloon Sniper. And you can play a friend head-to-head!

Your phone is the racket.

Swing it like the real thing — pickleball, ping pong, tennis, badminton and Smash Beat. Then point it at the screen and it's a rifle — Balloon Sniper.

The phone's own sensors read the direction and force of your swing. The ball goes where you sent it, lights up or down.

Swing your iPhone the way you swing a racket — or strap on your watch and swing your wrist. The game appears in any browser on the same Wi-Fi (laptop, iPad, smart TV) and connects by itself. Nothing to install on the screen, nothing to pair.

HOW IT WORKS • Open the app — your phone becomes the racket and hosts the game • Open the address shown on screen in any browser on the same Wi-Fi • Swing — the first swing starts the match

PICKLEBALL: DINK, LOB, SMASH Serve underhand, past the kitchen — the no-volley zone at the net. Then dink into it, lob deep, and smash anything left hanging. Games to 11, win by two, serve swaps every two points.

BADMINTON: AIM WITH YOUR SWING Swing up for a clear, chop down for a smash, sweep sideways to place it, soft touch for a drop at the net. 100 Hz motion sensing, about 40 ms from wrist to screen. Time the golden ring for a sweet-spot bonus. Five CPU tiers, from a fumbling Rookie to an Unbeatable wall.

TABLE TENNIS: SMALL TABLE, SHARP DUELS Ping pong, played with your whole arm. Loop with topspin, drive it flat, smash the high ball, push short over the net. A landing ring marks the bounce right on the table — swing as it closes. 11-point games with the serve swapping every two points.

TENNIS: OWN THE BASELINE Swing up for a topspin rally ball, chop down to smash the high one, sweep sideways to pull them wide, soft touch for a slice. Fast4 scoring — four points take a game, four games take the match, and 40:40 is a golden point.

SMASH BEAT: SWING ON THE BEAT Not a racket in sight. Notes fly up, down, left and right — answer each one with the same swing, right on the beat. PERFECT, GREAT or OK; every miss drains the HP bar, and an empty bar ends the track. Gold notes want real power. Five tempos, from a strolling 96 BPM to a breathless 144.

BALLOON SNIPER: TURN TO AIM, FLICK TO FIRE No racket in this one. Point the phone at the screen and it becomes the rifle — turn your body and the crosshair sweeps with you, flick your wrist and the shot goes off. Balloons climb in waves: the closer to center, the better the hit, and the gold ones are small, fast and worth the shot. Let three drift past and the run is over.

WATCH RACKET Wear the watch and swing your wrist — your swings stream to the phone, and the phone on the table becomes the court. The sensors ride on your arm, so the lights can stay down.

TWO-PLAYER VERSUS A second iPhone joins with a room code and the court splits in two — each player gets their own view and their own end.
