I dont know my ranking

[tennispinoy]

Can someone help me figure out my rating by this video. I was told I am a 2.5 .

Here is a better updated video from today (2/23/2016)

Admittedly it's just practice / feeding, but you look easily like a good 3.0 just a couple minutes in. Your strokes aren't amazing, but they look pretty dependable and you look like you're generating decent depth. I can't really tell how many shots you're sailing long/wide with this camera angle.

thank you for the reply! All the shots that go wide we don't hit the ball usually and just call it out even when rallying .

 

[ZirkusAffe]

NRTP level:: 3.0 Fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth or power. Most common doubles formation is one-up and one-back.
I think you could be 3.0, also as Thamel90 said dependable strokes (especially forehand) looks decent but regardless you can play up even ranked 2.5 and get to 3.0 quickly.

Looks 3.0 to me. You have some nice work in progress swings to build on. You hit a real good looking slice. The big thing I noticed was positioning. When you were in the right spot you hit a solid shot. Gotta get your positioning down so you aren't leaning into so many shots. Work on your strokes and fitness and you'll be on the rise!

I concur with the 3.0 consensus. One area of focus will be footwork. check out any pro match on YouTube and focus just on the player closest to the camera and watch how much they move even when their opponent hasn't hit the ball yet. They are constantly in motion. This helps you be ready for whatever comes across the net. It's also, IMO, an overlooked aspect of the game. Incorporating that will elevate your game [and make you tired so fitness comes into play also!].

At some point, you may want to take lessons and undo the windshield wiper backhand [using the same face of the racquet for the BH as for the FH]: this limits the amount of spin you can put on the ball and your ability to get low or out of reach shots. You can do fine at 3.0 and even 3.5 but if you're serious about advancing, the sooner you address this the easier it will be.

here is another video . This video is old , I have a better and more consistent ground strokes now. This video is just a reference i guess.

3.0 or 3.5. 2.5 is barely able to hit the ball (I think USTA eliminated mens 2.5 this year anyway).

 

[brettatk]

I'd say 3.0. Work on your footwork as mentioned above and 3.5 might not be far off.

3.0 or 3.5. 2.5 is barely able to hit the ball (I think USTA eliminated mens 2.5 this year anyway).

They didn't eliminate 2.5 ratings or even league for men. They did eliminate 2.5 from Nationals.

 

[gmatheis]

3.0 seems right
2.5 if you want to be a sandbagger

 

[cknobman]

I say 3.0 and with just a little work 3.5

Seeing some match play would be most beneficial.

 

[beernutz]

Your Nadal buggy whip forehand and your reverse pancake backhand do make your game memorable.

You look young enough however to rid yourself of some bad habits now. Don't wait until you are an old fart like me because it is hard as heck to overcome a lifetime of ingrained poor technique.

Thank you guys for all your information! Today we did some drills and I was able to do some approaching and working on some footwork .
