Hitting Partner

Hitting Partner is a mobile application designed to connect tennis and pickleball players with hitting partners, coaches, and games based on skill level, location, and availability. It operates in Australia, the United States, and Canada, offering free browsing with a paid subscription required to message other players. The service is available on both the App Store and Google Play, and it was founded in 2026.

The app allows users to tap a player's card to send a personal invite including court, time, level, and a message. Once the recipient taps accept, the event is added to both users' calendars with a reminder. This process eliminates the need for group chats or back-and-forth negotiations to confirm plans.

Pricing includes a free browsing tier, with a paid subscription of A$6.99 per month or A$59.99 per year required to message players. New accounts in every city currently receive six months free access to Player Plus or Coach Pro features without needing a promo code.

The platform serves cities across Australia, the United States, and Canada, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra, Newcastle, Wollongong, Hobart, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, and Ottawa.

The business is built by an Australian team of players and operates with no commission fees, ensuring coaches keep 100% of their earnings. It was established in 2026 and is owned by Veda Digital Solutions Pty Ltd.

Some users on Reddit say that the app helps returning players find new partners quickly after life changes like having a kid or moving, addressing the common issue of ghosted hitting partners. It also helps new residents find local players within 5 km of their postcode when club waitlists are long.

The app features a rating system that matches players by skill level, such as UTR, to ensure fair games. It also includes a map view to see who is hitting nearby and a section for local coaches to list sessions with prices and player reviews.

Some reviewers on Reddit mention that the app avoids the chaos of Facebook groups and WhatsApp threads by providing a single, streamlined interface for finding partners. It also includes guides on topics like cardio tennis and how to find a tennis hitting partner.

The website states that the service is limited to 20 cities across Australia, USA, and Canada, and users can preview 9 screens of the interface before downloading. It also offers resources like a guide explaining UTR for adult players and information on social tennis for beginners.

The app allows users to book local coaches directly, seeing the rate, reviews, and next available slots without commission fees. This feature is part of the broader effort to help players improve by finding clinics and structured sessions.

The service is available in both English-speaking markets, and the app interface supports multiple languages as implied by its operation in Australia, the US, and Canada. The team is based in Australia, reflecting its origin.

The app provides a way to see who is actually a fair hit, sorted closest first, rather than relying on luck or group coordination. It also includes a feature to RSVP to games that are already scheduled, reducing the need for last-minute communication.

The app includes a feature to plan a hit in 30 seconds by tapping a player's card and sending a personal invite. It also allows users to filter by level to avoid mismatches, such as playing with someone who is too strong or too weak.
