An open reference of what actually makes players better — stroke cues, point patterns, and the mental game. Read it all freely, no account needed. When you want it tailored to your matches, that's what a profile is for.
Five focused libraries — technique, tactics, the mental game, the rating systems, and a full tennis dictionary. Start wherever your game needs it most.
Every fundamental shot broken down — how to hit it and what breaks down under pressure — plus the one shot you control completely.
The fundamental shots — what they are, how to hit them, and the mistakes that break them down under pressure.
The cues, patterns, and rally-building habits that decide points — stay in, build pressure, and take the clear chance.
One simple thought per situation. Under pressure, layered instructions fall apart — these are physical anchors that trigger the right move without overthinking.
Positioning, pattern recognition, and shot selection win matches. 70% of points at club level end in unforced errors — build pressure safely and take the clear chance.
Before you pick a shot, read your position. The more stretched and rushed you are, the more margin you play; the more set and forward you are, the more you attack. Defend the low numbers, finish the high ones.
Most inconsistency is process, not technique. Here’s the mindset, the warm-up, and the between-point reset that keep you steady.
Most inconsistency isn't technique — it's a breakdown in process, routine, or focus under pressure. These are the tools to stay steady when it matters.
Hydration, fuelling, conditioning, and how to prevent injuries and cramping — so your body holds up as well as your game.
This is educational information to help you play and recover better — it isn't a substitute for a doctor, physio, or registered dietitian. If you have pain, an injury, a health condition, or symptoms that are severe, recurring, or not improving (including frequent cramping), get assessed by a medical professional.
The rating systems explained and principles from the best coaching minds in the game.
NTRP and UTR measure different things. Treat the UTR ranges below as community approximations, not guarantees.
Principles and publicly shared insights associated with the world's top coaches — paraphrased into practical takeaways, with sources to dig deeper.
Search and browse the terminology — court geometry, scoring, shots, spin, serve, rules, tactics, movement, and the mental game. Tap any term to expand it.
Five quick questions. You'll get your type, your strengths and weaknesses, and how you match up — then take it to the AI coach.
Take the rating survey — 26 questions, an estimated level, and what to work on next.
Pick two player types and see who's favored, plus the game plan for each side.
26 quick questions across 8 areas of your game. You'll get an estimated NTRP level, a breakdown by skill, and what to work on next — instead of guessing a number.
Your Universal Tennis Rating is built from real match results, so if you have one we'll use it as your level — it takes priority over the survey below. No UTR? Just take the survey.
Tell us your game and the matchup, and get three distinct plans — each with shot patterns you can save, diagram, take to a match, and rate afterward.
Plans are AI-assisted ideas, not guaranteed advice — trust what's actually working in your matches, and see a coach for technique or a medical professional for any physical issue.
A 20-second check-in every changeover beats trying to remember it all afterward — and the recall itself is good training. It saves to your journal and builds your trends.
Drills that train decisions, patterns, percentages and pressure — the game inside the game, not your swing. Pick a focus, grab a partner or a basket, and score yourself.
Heater's coach gives general ideas and can be wrong — it's not a substitute for a qualified coach, physio, or doctor. For pain, injury, or recurring issues like cramping or dizziness, see a medical professional.
As you log matches, your coach surfaces the one thing worth working on — and tracks whether it holds up under pressure.
Every session you log sharpens your profile and your coach's read.
