therefore, he has lesser rights to play tennis than you do, with your certified and validated cookie cutter lessons, and smug validational attitude?Who cares? You've never seen a middle aged man with a Federer racquet and a Nike bandana who only plays with others like him and no organized competition hack at the ball with home made strokes?

instead of posting a video I invite any of those two players to hit with me when they are around in the Miami area. I am a 63 yo player, I used to play many years ago 4.5 but clearly I can keep up with either playerI only meant disqualified to talk about your level. But sure, here’s my whole thread.
Practice Video: Feedback Requested (1HBH/FH)
I filmed some hitting with my buddy this morning, and thought I'd post and ask for some input from the group. Points from the drop feed at first and then on to some serving. We're hitting on an OmniCourt here, which is sand over astroturf, and very popular in Japan. I've been messing around...tt.tennis-warehouse.com
these guys around don't take any constructive criticismim not the ones attacking anyone here. unlike yourself and others. maybe you can go start a war someplace else?
yes sir. i can see that. they get so easily offended at the slightest perceived threat to their egos. fragile! handle with care.these guys around don't take any constructive criticism
I care, people need to show the world how good they are. Even if they are a middle aged man with a Federer racquet and a Nike bandana who only plays with others like him and no organized competition hack at the ball with home made strokes.Who cares?

The elephant in the room here, is that this question was never addressed.Is this you?
He didn't say 6.0 USTA. Maybe he meant 6.0 UTR. That would make more sense.
you count them.
That.....is amazing. And, is there such a thing as 6.0? I know some guys from the Baylor national championship team years ago, they are 5.5 or compete in 5.0 plus and open.The elephant in the room here, is that this question was never addressed.
Reminds me of the poster "rino" who actually went out and dug up footage on YouTube of some futures player in Sweden or someplace and claimed it was him.

Can't be, that's 7.0!Is this you?
You've read the thread right? Seems unlikely given the above comment, else you would have understood the people calling him out were not part of the OP video, and weren't being criticised, so that's a non sequitur.these guys around don't take any constructive criticism
That's still not an answer to the question asked of you.your ship is filled with holes and sinking fast.
its too late to start bailing.
would you believe it if i said this is me?That's still not an answer to the question asked of you.
He asked if that was YOU in that video, just answer the man!
Can't be, that's 7.0!

would you believe it if i said this is me?
of course not, because of various reasons.
1)it would debase you and your level
2)youve already made up your minds that it isnt my vid.
3) im not very good to your playing standards, because im asian, therefore not a valid subject.
but just to appease your bigotry, this is me, so go ahead and believe whatever u want.
Asking a question doesn’t make someone a bigot, besides, I wasn’t the one asking. If anyone is judgmental it’s actually you.would you believe it if i said this is me?
of course not, because of various reasons.
1)it would debase you and your level
2)youve already made up your minds that it isnt my vid.
3) im not very good to your playing standards, because im asian, therefore not a valid subject.

That backhand is so good, man!
i wasnt questioning, they asked for opinionThere are a lot of Asians on this forum. Weren’t you the one who was actually questioning the level of the players in the video? No need to disparage other players if you are better than them.
Can't be, that's 7.0!

Guy in video is 6.12 UTR, approx 4.0 USTA.

which vid?Guy in video is 6.12 UTR, approx 4.0 USTA.

That's the OPer you're talking about, right, and not Matt Truong?Guy in video is 6.12 UTR, approx 4.0 USTA.

4.0 and 3.0, depending on the location.Well, for starters you did comment, so there's that. I'm assuming you did eventually watch OP at the near end before your additional comment where you rate them at 3.5/4.0? I'm interested because we don't use NTPR where I live, so whats a 12.6 UTR in NTPR these days? Apparently the answer is 4.5.
I wonder how you would rate these two (even though that isn't a trick question and the answer is obvious):
Next time maybe try your phone, assuming it does Full HD? All in all, very nice footage, and keep up the good work!
whatever you can benefit from it, i am glad!That backhand is so good, man!
So simple and compact.
I liked your long point at 1 min mark and the fact that he bailed out of itHi all, I got to play a 5.0 league match yesterday against a former futures player. Sadly my camera died part way through the second set. I ended up losing 1-6 3-6, but there were some great points. I've trained with him a few times prior to this so that helped me know what to expect. Being on court with him is awesome because I always find things to learn about my game. My main takeaway is that I was very successful at net and even against a player of his caliber I will be successful there. The issue is finding ways to get to the net when he hits such a consistent and deep ball. Any advice and comments are appreciated!
I'm in the gray shirt, red hat, maroon shorts and I start on the far side.
