The vision that Clutch is building on
In the coming years, AI-powered cameras are gonna revolutionize millions of sports courts, providing better experiences for athletes with personalized game content - every court will have the AI equivalent of the production crew at Wimbledon center court. This is an opportunity for sports clubs to boost the player experience — bringing more people to the sport and making them more engaged.

Welcome to the roadmap for Clutch! We’re a team of tech people with racket sports in our DNA. We’rere really excited about building the future of padel and racket sports. This is where you can get a sense of what we’re working on and the trajectory of the Clutch platform.
Our mission is to build a global community of players and clubs that are connected through content and an engaging performance tracking experience. A bit like what a company like Strava has done for runners and cyclists.
At Clutch we’re constantly pushing the limits and trying to bring new features to our customers. We try to release as often as possible. Some of these features are visible to the end user through new app updates, while others are about making our infrastructure more reliable and performant.
We generally work closely with clubs and love to get feedback from players to make sure that we are building the features you’d like to see in the app!

Tracking winners and errors a key project for the Clutch team throughout 2025. It’s the metric that players care the most about, and it will spawn lots of features, including better performance analysis, better player ratings — and ultimately automated scoring.
We’re working to track the winners and errors of each individual player throughout a game. A winner is defined as when a player does the last shot in a rally and wins the point with that shot. An error is the opposite - a player does the last shot in a rally and loses the point.
The way we’ll track this is by tracking the ball trajectory and bounce location. If a ball hits the floor on the opponents’ side then it’s considered a winner. If it hits the net or the fence/walls first, then it’s considered an error.
In the spring of 2026, we’ll start distinguishing between forced and unforced errors, by introducing a pressure level metric.
Expected release: November 2025 release. We’re currently at 80% accuracy for winner/error detection, and plan to reach 95% in Q1 2025.
The Clutch Score is a new AI player rating that actually measures the players level on court by using their performance data — not just looking at the match score as a proxy. A better player rating opens up opportunities for better performance tracking for players, more community engagement with leaderboards and better matching of players for open games.
The Clutch Score includes multiple data points:
