Pressure Mode™: Take Your Training to the Next Level

At Dr. Dish, we know the best players are forged when practice meets pressure. That is why we highlight some of our most competitive training experiences, Me vs. Me Mode, Knockdown, Green Light Challenge, and Multiplayer Mode, under one idea: Pressure Mode™. Each feature is designed to bring game-like intensity to training and push players to perform at their best in every rep and every shot.

Knockdown: Make every shot count

Knockdown brings high-stakes, shooting contest energy to your workouts. With a 2x point system for Knockdown balls and game-like intensity, it challenges players to perform under pressure while rewarding precision.

• Customize Your Game: Pick your shooting spots and tailor your racks
• Shoot with Purpose: Knockdown balls are worth double points
• Compete: Face your friends or your personal best to improve your shooting consistency

Available on Dr. Dish Arc1, CT+, FCLTY, and Dr. Dish Home machines, Knockdown is more than a game, it's a strategic tool to build confidence and boost your shooting percentage.

Me vs. Me: Beat yourself, get better

Sometimes your toughest competitor is you. Me vs. Me allows players to go shot-for-shot against their own personal bests. This head-to-head challenge adds pressure, variation, and motivation to every practice session.

• Track your progress: See your personal bests over time for every drill
• Get Instant Feedback: Green means you're ahead of your best, red means you've got work to do
• Custom challenges: Create, define, and complete challenges on the machine or in the Dr. Dish Player App

Available on Arc1, CT+, FCLTY, and Dr. Dish Home machines, Me vs. Me makes every rep count.

Green Light Challenge: Train like a coach thinks

The Green light Challenge is designed for players and coaches alike, simulating game pressure and helping identify who's ready to take the shot.

• Time-Based Drill: Make two shots in a row from as many spots as possible within 5 minutes
• Set the Standard: Coaches determine the number of successful spots needed to earn the "green light"
• Instant Insights: Track player performance, leaderboards, and readiness in real time.

Quick, customizable, and competitive, the Green Light Challenge turns every practice in a game-like evaluation session. Available on Dr. Dish Arc1, CT+, FCLTY, and Dr. Dish Home machines.

Multiplayer mode: better together

Shooting is more fun, and more effective, when you compete with friends, teammates, or family. Multiplayer Mode lets multiple players train in the same session, with stats saved individually for accountability and friendly competition. 

• Real-Time Competition: Compare performance shot-for-shot without running separate workouts
• Detailed Feedback: Each player gets a heatmap and overall make/miss percentages
• Efficient Practice: Spend more time shooting and less time waiting or programming drills

From siblings taking hundreds of shots before school to teammates improving their three-point percentage together, Multiplayer Mode makes training social, competitive, and efficient.

Why pressure mode™ works

Whether it's competing against yourself, chasing double points, earning your green light, or racing teammates, every feature adds game-like pressure, instant feedback, and fun. Players stay motivated, focused, and constantly improving. Because in the gym, just like in the game, pressure makes champions.
