A Glicko-2 rating built from your real match results, AI analysis of your technique, and a partner-finder that goes beyond “same level” — all in one app, free to join.
Join the waitlist →A rating that's actually accurate
Smash uses Glicko-2 — the same statistical model used in chess and tennis — to calculate your padel level from real match results, not a one-time test. Your rating adapts as you play.
Try the rating calculator →AI video analysis
Upload a session video and SmashIQ delivers a frame-level breakdown of your forehand, backhand, bandeja, and volleys — with a technique score for each shot and cues to fix the gaps.
Find the right partner
Partner compatibility goes beyond level. Smash matches you on playing style, court position preference, and schedule — so you find a partner who actually makes your game better.

What is Glicko-2 and why does it matter?
Glicko-2 is a Bayesian rating algorithm that accounts for rating uncertainty — it knows your rating is more reliable after 50 matches than after 5. Unlike simple win/loss systems, it factors in the strength of your opponents, giving you a level you can actually trust.
How do I get my rating?
Log your match results in Smash. After a handful of matches, your Glicko-2 rating converges to a reliable number. You can also use the rating calculator tool for an instant estimate based on your self-assessed level.
What video formats does SmashIQ accept?
MP4, MOV, and MKV up to 4 GB. Phone camera footage works well — you don't need professional equipment. A fixed-camera angle showing the full court gives the best analysis.
Is Smash free for players?
Yes. The core features — match logging, Glicko-2 rating, club leaderboards, and partner-finder — are free. SmashIQ video analysis is a premium feature included in the Player plan during the launch period for waitlist members.
How does the partner-finder work?
The compatibility tool scores pairs on level delta (ideally ≤0.5), preferred court position (left vs right), playstyle (aggressive vs defensive), and availability. Higher compatibility scores predict better on-court chemistry.
Will my data be shared with my club?
Your match stats and rating are visible on your public profile (similar to Playtomic). Coaching Insights from SmashIQ are private and only visible to you, unless you choose to share a debrief link with a coach.
