| | | Seeking a High Level Hitting Partner for Hire [tennis]
I am a 49 year old player (Low R5/High R6 Level). I am seeking a hitting/training partner over the fall/winter who can train with me @ 1 or 2X each week. Playing partner should be ranked R4 or above and can be male or female and any age. Great part time work for a young player! I will pay for the court rental, balls, and everything and pay the partner CHF 50 / hour. I would prefer 2 hour sessions. I am seeking only a hitting partner and do not seek any advice on technique or instruction. Please contact me if you might be interested. I live in Zurich (Dubendorf). Thanks! Carl

And all the teasing has started because a word tennis was missing from the context.  | | The following 6 users would like to thank jacek for this useful post: | |

Hitting partner = tennis. It is a term used exclusively for tennis.
But that doesn't stop people from indulging in their favourite pastime, does it?

@OP,
You're not with any tennis club already? You might find a partner there.

However, when the spring/summer season is over, in autumn/winter one can keep on playing tournaments indoors on the carpet tennis courts and make new tennis contacts all the same.

My coach doesn't think so, though. I gotta hit him hard.
Well. His pads.

Using hitting term in tennis is somewhat misleading. It’s a ball game after all. | | This user would like to thank jacek for this useful post: | |
