Sticks turns any net into a coached session using just the phone in your bag. You prop it at the crease, bat normally, and an AI cricket coach speaks in your earbuds moments after each shot — what was good, and the one thing to fix. The pose analysis runs on your phone, so your video never leaves it.
Waist height, pointed at the crease — a bag, a fence or a chair is plenty, no tripod needed. Side-on or front-on both work, indoors or at outdoor nets. Pop in wireless earbuds if you have them (the speaker works too).
Sticks watches for a batter to settle at the crease. When it has you, you hear a tick — it's ready, so bat. No taps between balls, no one holding the phone. It detects the swing itself and ignores everything that isn't a shot.
Moments after each shot, your coach talks you through it — one focus per ball, in plain cricket language: head position, stride, backlift, follow-through. Never numbers, never jargon. Then you face the next ball.
While you bat, Sticks tracks your body position with on-device pose detection and measures around fifteen biomechanical checkpoints on every swing — where your head is relative to your front foot, the length and timing of your stride, the angle of your backlift, how the swing finishes. Those measurements (numbers only — never the video) are turned into spoken coaching in a real coach's voice.
The coaching philosophy is a deliberate one: a coach tells you the one thing that matters on that ball, the way a person standing behind the net would — not a spreadsheet of angles. The numbers stay in the engine; you hear cricket.
Batting practice happens with your eyes up and gloves on. An app you have to walk over to, unlock and read between deliveries breaks the net; a voice in your earbuds doesn't. That's the core idea of Sticks: coaching you hear, in the flow of practice — the review screens exist for afterwards, not mid-net.
Sticks ships with three coaching voices: Coach Sam, Coach Macca (Australian) and Coach Vikram — who coaches in Indian English or in Hindi, the way cricket is actually spoken in India. The app's interface is available in English and Hindi too. Meet the coaches →
