SwingDino

Straight from Coach Rader

What's New

Everything we're shipping in the SwingDino beta, what's new, what we made better, and what we fixed. We build it in the open, one swing at a time.

A promise we'll keep saying: SwingDino is a trend tracker, not a radar gun, and nothing you film is ever saved or uploaded.

Beta

Your read stays honest, even when it's a no-read

HonestyImproved

The speed gun and Sage now only show a number when the camera got a clean look at the ball. A rough read says so, plainly, instead of pretending.

Miss the look entirely and it tells you the fix, stand to the side, give the ball room, instead of guessing. And a shaky read can no longer sneak in and fake a personal record.

A swing only counts toward a PR when the camera tracked the ball cleanly. Fewer numbers, but every one is earned.

Beta

Meet Sage, your swing scientist reads your cut for free

New

New mode: Review. Point the camera at a hitter and Sage reads the swing, balance, posture, head, and contact, then hands back one thing to work on with a drill to do it. 🦖

On a newer iPhone he can map the turn in 3-D for a closer look at how the body sequences. Already shot a swing at the cage? Hand him the clip and he'll read that too.

Beta

Boneyard Ball, draft your dino crew and play a real game

NewImproved

New game: Boneyard Ball. Schoolyard-draft three dino kids against Ace, grab the bat, and play a full game, you swing every inning, your crew's gloves handle the field. Watch out for his crazy pitches… and earn crazy bats back. 🦖

It takes the warm-up's spot on Home, Rex's Warm-Up grew up into a whole sandlot game. Rumor is a tiny, silent secret player shows up for kids who keep practicing.

The Derby's batting got real too: slide the bat onto the pitch, lift to swing, and catch it just under center to send it out. Hitting bombs is a skill now, not a coin flip.

Game runs and derby distances are arcade points, never measurements. Your real swing numbers only ever come from Hit mode.

Beta

Dino Derby steps up, and Coach Rex takes the mound

NewImprovedFixed

New game: Dino Derby. Tee one up, time it right, and smash the glowing target, three outs, three rounds, then a bat-flip you earned. It's you vs. you, never a leaderboard of kids. 🦖

Coach Rex Pitch grew up too: Rex now fires from the mound with a real baseball, you're in the batter's box, and it's a pure warm-up now, loosen your timing, no score, no pressure.

Fixed a game screen that was sitting a hair off-center on some phones. Sits straight now.

Beta

Two new ballparks to play in

New

Added two stadiums to take your cuts in: Night Game (small-town lights) and Volcano Valley (lava on the horizon). Pick yours before the first pitch.
