About Mountain Sentry

Independent engineering capacity for product teams and founders.

Mountain Sentry works as both a contract engineering partner and a product company. We take on mobile and software projects, help shape new product ideas, and build connected hardware and app experiences when the problem calls for it.

The company is also the parent company of ShotSense, a pickleball training platform that combines embedded hardware, Bluetooth Low Energy communication, and an iOS app to make swing analysis measurable.

Product Brand

ShotSense

ShotSense is a smart pickleball training device and companion iOS experience built by Mountain Sentry.

What it is

ShotSense is a compact motion capture device that mounts to the end of a pickleball paddle handle and records motion during play with an onboard IMU.

The device streams motion data to an iOS app over Bluetooth Low Energy so players can see objective feedback instead of relying only on feel.

What players learn

  • Paddle orientation
  • Swing timing and repeatability
  • Swing consistency and other motion characteristics
  • Real-time feedback and post-session analysis

Product goal

Provide pickleball players with simple, objective feedback about swing mechanics so they can train more effectively and improve faster.

Battery life, low power operation, and measurable training feedback are central to the product design.
