Wingfield Drill Mode: Score-based Training System

Wingfield Drills transform your training sessions into interactive, competitive experiences. Every exercise you play is scored in real time, helping you set goals, monitor progress, and stay motivated.

In a typical drill session, you hit ball after ball – without knowing what worked. There’s no feedback, no target clarity, and no real sense of progress. Instead of leaving the court with a sense of accomplishment, the energy fades as there’s nothing tangible to take away from your effort. That’s exactly where Drill Mode comes in.

How Wingfield Drill Mode works

Each shot in Drill Mode is rated on a scale from 0 to 100, based on how accurately – and for selected shot types, how fast – you hit your chosen target zone. The total of your individual shot scores forms your Drill Score, giving you a clear benchmark for your session. You’ll learn how the scoring is calculated later in this article.

You can train with a partner or even alone with a ball machine. Real-time feedback appears after each round directly on the Wingfield Box, while detailed stats and video analysis are synced to your user account in the app.

How to Set Up Your Drills with Wingfield

1. Choose Between Custom Setup or Drill Collections

Start by selecting the number of players you want to track and the shot type you want to train.

• 👤 Single-Player Drills (1 player): Only one selected player is analyzed. A coach, partner, or ball machine can feed balls from the opposite side.

• 👥 Team Drills (2 players): Two players play a partner exercise, and both receive a score for their shots.

If you're looking for inspiration, explore the Collections tab. Here, you'll find our most popular drills, warm-up routines, and active community challenges – all curated by our pros. These come with predefined setups so you can get started right away.

Want full flexibility? Choose 1 Player or 2 Player mode to define your own target zones and difficulty levels.

2. Select Your Target Zones

Next, choose the target zones you want to train.

• Use the navigation bar at the top to select a difficulty level – from Beginner to Expert. The higher the level, the smaller and more challenging the target zones become.
• Want full control? Switch to Custom Mode to define your own target zones freely and tailor the drill to your needs.

3. Select The Active Player(s)

If you are logged in with several players, you must select the active players beforehand.

• Click on the avatars of the players who should play the drill. They will automatically be displayed next to the court.
• If necessary, click the change sides button to adjust the sides again (the small Wingfield Box on the field indicates where you are).
• Then select the target field and click on Start Drill.

How Drill Scores Are Calculated in Wingfield

To help you track progress and set measurable goals, every shot you play in Drill Mode is evaluated and scored. Your Drill Score is based on two core factors:

• 🎯 Accuracy: How close your shot lands to the intended target

• 💨 Speed: (For selected shot types) How fast you hit the ball

While the scoring logic is consistent, there are slight differences between Tennis and Pickleball based on the nature of each sport.

• ➡️ Go to Pickleball Calculation

1) Wingfield Drill Score Calculation for Tennis

Scoring is based on the distance to the target zone – regardless of drill difficulty. However, at higher levels, the target areas are smaller, making it harder to hit high scores.

Each shot type has a defined peak speed that counts as 100 points. The scoring curve drops steeply at first and then levels out as speed decreases.

 

2) Wingfield Drill Score Calculation for Pickleball

In Pickleball, accuracy is the most important factor across all shot types, though speed also plays a role in certain drills.
