GWB's Matchplay 10/26/08

[cookieman264]

Hey, great videos, you play very well. Much respect to you because I don't get to watch a lot of players our age play as well as you. It'd be great if you post some more; you should show a game or two from a match.

My sister has been very.. um "mean" lately ( I am being very nice in how I say that ._. ) I accidentally took one of her memory cards that I wasn't supposed to take last time so she said that I am not allowed to use her camera anymore.

As we speak, my parents are yelling at her.

I could possibly take and use her camera but I would have to do it on a day I know she will be gone.

Well, I didn't mean "good" in the sense of it making them look like really good players. I just meant "good" as in a better quality video to see them. Clearly the editing is completely biased; actually, it's about the most biased editing I've seen outside of that one guy who used to post high-quality videos of Rios winning points against various players. And the USC fans in the stands are annoying, but I guess that's college sports in general.

All of that said, there's only so far one can go with editing. Regardless of who's winning or losing the points, you can see the level of play in the footwork and the quality of ball being struck. You could take every good shot I've ever hit in 9 years of playing and not come up with anything close to shots of that caliber.

Oh but if I could save up every let cord return of serve that trickled over the net onto my opponent's side that I have hit in the past 9 years, and deploy them all in one match. . .

Good point, the vid quality was excellent.

I sort of agree about the quality of the points. If you took a lower ranked team, you might even see a more spectacular highlight show. USC is doing well partially due to a high level of quality consistency. Some lower teams are much more aggressive, leading to more errors and losses, but also to a much more impressive highlight reel. I do applaud USC for their crisp match play.
Takes a pretty good eye to appreciate the difference, especially if you don't have their record to refer too.

Even Freshman/JV team know what it means / how we got to saying it.
