Pickleball VR
Simulation ∙ SportsImmerse yourself in the virtual pickleball world! Pickleball VR takes the game of pickleball to a new level, and allows you to play the fastest growing sport in the world from the comfort of your home! Work to perfect your serves, drops, drives and much more, all while trying to achieve a perfect score. Pickleball VR is the perfect game for both pickleball addicts looking to perfect their pickleball swing, and those just starting out trying to learn the basic strategy of the game.
Work on your serves and returns and score more points the closer to the end line you can land your shot. This makes your opponent’s next shot more difficult. Then practice your drops and dinks, trying to land shots in the kitchen so that your opponent can’t slam it back at you. Lastly, work on your slams, so that when your opponent makes a mistake, you know how to capitalize on the court! Pickleball VR keeps track of your high scores, so you can see your progress as you continue to grow as a player!"

Needs a lot of work
The worst Pickleball app out there lol I know I’ve tried them all
Agree with others
This game is awful, save your money.
Unpredictable
The physics need a lot of attention - currently they’re unrealistic and there’s no purpose to the app besides wanting to hit something somewhere. Once it’s overhauled, it could be a great practice app.
Blah!
Nice graphics. That’s it. Physics are awful. Save your hard earned money and avoid this app.
Great potential; Updated 3/4/23
….but only *that just now. I have great expectations; I’m a regular PB player, (3.75 indoors and out; looking to 4.0 by April).
There seems zero reaction to spin so far, which may be due to the limited camera view in Q2: it cannot see behind you. (Quest Pro controllers can)
However, all dinks appear to have topspin, as they jet upon bouncingand are nearly impossible to play, compared to real play.
Swings that DO connect have very little relationship with real play. They can be short or over the fence.
There’s no adjustment of hand placement/grip yet, which needs consideration —like in Eleven.
Waaay too many edge mis-shots, as paddle position subtlety appears elusive yet.
In the training, slams on a bounce should count as a hit, as targets include unavoidable outofbounds, and foot shots are harder than slams, anyway.
Position movement needs to be faster.
Haptics should be invoked for dynamics, at least *some indication of power.
On serves, Ball *could just appear in the non dominant hand?
Not a single service has *felt right, many overshot.
Look forward to the next developments!

Update 3/4/23:
Doesn’t seem to be much change, if any, since downloading.
Very difficult to control, though several hours ingame, more control is gained.
Serving is unrealistic; returns equally-so.
Will update.
Kinda meh...
At the moment, at least, you can only practice. You can't actually play against a person or the computer.
Also, the physics are completely unpredictable. If you land a shot, it's basically just luck.
