That's not my point at all. This is still misunderstand. My point is, In any sport or game where there is a winner or loser, if someone beat you 99% of the time, That player is better than you. No maybe but or else. The logic is very simple 1) In sport or game, if player A lose to player B all...

That's not a computer rated 3.5. That's self rated. Anyone can self rate himself to be anything in anything. So, what the video suggested is not possible then. if player A losing to player B all the time, player A cannot be better player than player B. It is common sense in all games and sports...

In any sport or game where there is a winner or loser, if someone beat you 99% of the time, That player is better than you.

So.... is GSG/MEP a worse player and a less skilled player than top 3.5 players?

That's very cool. I remember Karue mentioned a player only need good enough stokes. Many times he mentioned a player can only do what the ball allows him to do. I am a big fan of (My Tennis HQ) Karue's way of coaching. I think he is one of best on YT. But anyway, each person learn things...

Personal attack? This is not nice.. I expected better from you AnyPUG.

One of the problem with the internet, there will always be people agreeing with any point of views, regardless of how wrong it is. In term of youtuber, there are usually fans/followers watching their video, they will usually agree with the youtuber. So my way to combat this is, whenever I find...

Let me put it simply for some of you that disagree with me. From a different perspective... MEP/GSG is a computer rated 4.5 with a winning percentage. (Real example with real person :rolleyes:) He will beat most people just by definition of his rating and winning percentage at this rating. He...

I never said the video is about "what is required to beat a pusher" so we are in agreement here. I disagree with either hit topspin or be a pusher (i dont know what hit with skill means). IMO, if the only option is a push or a poke, then those are the best choice. I always think we should defend...

Lot of us here understand what are required to beat a pusher but we already understand it before we watched the video. We already have the knowledge and experience. But his target audience might not. I re-watched the video a few more times, just want to be more accurate. So he is trying to...

I am sorry, I think you are too good a player to understand the 3.5'ers' life long struggle against pushers. :)

1:18 Those are his examples, not mine. My points is, it does a player no good if he still think he is the better player or more skilled player or whatever make him feels better when he keep losing to the same player again and again.

The problem and the danger of the video is, it is still trying to tell those player that they are skilled. His example of asking a player to hit topspin FH and the person still hit slice is strawman. That's not tennis skill problem. That's comprehension problem. The sooner those players...

"proper" shot is whatever the player think he is doing. The actual proper shot is the one that goes in. If the player has the skills to do more, the player can do more than just pushing it in. If a player think he hit 3 great shots and all 3 got neutralized completely. These shot are simply not...

Choose a more difficult, more advanced but completely wrong solution does not make you more skilled at the task.

I don't know what evidence you are based on. Ian from Essential Tennis mentioned approximately 70% of points are result of errors This is in all level of tennis.

Stokes are only a small part of tennis. I think Karue from My TennisHQ also mentioned that. I don't think "proper" groundstrokes are higher skilled shots, this is just to make yourself feel better when losing to pusher. Your "proper" groundstrokes are not as proper as you think if they break...

I disagree with the first half of the video. The part about who is a more skilled player. The winner is always the more skilled and better player ON THAT DAY. Tennis is not just about stroke mechanics. Running and positioning are also part of tennis and they are more important then stroke...

Oh no, pros not hitting the ball properly. Probably late or no split steps, no unit turn, all arm, what is this? 2.5? :)

I have hit winners out of those :) When I could get to it soon enough to got cross court and sense my opponent might be at the net, just slice it hard xcourt. Mix in slice lobs from time to time to make it interesting :) I figure I was at a huge disadvantage in these situations, make my opponent...

Tell us more. So how was it in match? Did it turn into grindfest or free points for you?

Sorry, I meant in a match. Who cares about what we can do in practice, unless you are a doctor :)

If it is one-off, just leave it. Also, if the ball is close enough to be called out, expect it to be called out. That's what I tell myself anyway.

There is nothing wrong with winning points by pushing. It is up to your opponent to solve this puzzle, just like any other shots. It is not the winners that won the match., it is the errors that costed the match. Didn't essential tennis mention 70% of the points are determined by errors? Even at...

Try it next time. Just go deep at big target. You should see some self destruction from your opponent. You can hire me as a coach after :)

It is good as long as your 1st serves don't get attack by other 4.0 players and they goes it often enough. From the video, it looks like it has enough pace at 4.0. For return of serve, just return the damn ball. Your first rule is return it; 2nd rule, return it high and deep(er). If you can...

Haha, it takes experience (and discipline? ) to know a lucky "1 in a mil" winner vs a solid repeatable winner.

I wouldn't even try those, too much risk. Sure, I will drop or short angle when it is a short ball I can attack. But for neutral rally, it will just be deep balls to either corner all day everyday. It gives me pleasure when I see my opponent tries to attack deep fluffy plushy balls.

Mix that with some deep and airy spinny shots...it will really make opponent contemplate pickleball.

It is the opponent's job to move you into awkward positions. Don't expect anything less. :)
