^^^ Gotcha.
I was like, "Bro, don't look at me, I am usually right in these video rating threads." J

line calling
I used to play with 3.5 and now with 4.0 and some 4.5.
I noticed people( most of the time) are more fair in calling the lines as the rating goes higher & higher. |

Thanks a lot. I have very few proud moments in my Tennis. However looking at this video i felt very proud. They arent bad (no one is bad when playing tennis) just that their rating doesnt seem to make sense.
I played a lot better than them as a 3.0 pusher. Given my game right now, as compared to them, i think i shud be playing challengers and get into main draws....may be an US open night session featuring Tennis_monk Vs Tennis great Roger federer isnt that far fetched. I actually do have a winning record against Roger federer-- Play station tennis. |

I think we should start a thread on which to post our own vids, and have ppls oppinions on our games, etc, specially for those of us who dont really know what rating we are; I think I'm a 4.5 or 5, but not at all sure...

I'm trying to find some other usta rated vids, really curious about seeing 4.5, 5.0, even 7.0 rated players, if anyone has links it would be great if you would post...

the video is interesting.
I wonder if it's possible that they were too nervous to performance at their true level. ????? Truth to be told I could do some very nice, consistent strokes and slices against wall and somebody's tossing to me, but I couldn't do nowhere near 50% of that in games. |

Technically, any D1 player ranked in the top 75 individually ****or**** playing for a top 75 team can be considered a 6.0, based on the USTA guidelines, but I find this unreasonable. I would imagine many 5.5 level players could compete evenly and often surpass players further down the lineup on some of these teams.

I personally think the behind view is the best. Preferably 4+ feet off the ground (on tennis bag, tied to fence, etc).

I think people need to play more tournaments to see where they stand.
I have a friend that I play games with consider himself a 3.5 player, when I'm better than him and I consider myself a 3.0 player. |

I think it has nothing to do with how good the strokes look at all. U r 3.5 if you can consistently beat 3.0 and 4.0 if you can consistently beat 3.5. That's the whole point! If you have Federer-like groundstrokes but couldn't win 3.5 match, you are still a 3.0.
