I haven't played any kind of official match against anyone with an NTRP, so when my local summer league asks me what my rating is, do I just default to 2.5 even though I feel like I'm higher than that? I realize this might be a dumb question, but gauging what my level is seems to be elusive.
Background: I've just recently started getting into the game at 34 y/o (I took classes when I was very young but nothing since I was 12). After taking a few classes/lessons and a lot of hitting sessions with the ball machine, I'm feeling confident to start competing at some level. I'm fairly athletic/quick (despite my 5'11"/210lb frame) after playing soccer and endurance multisport for the past two decades. I can get some pace and spin behind my lefty forehand and OHBH with fair consistency.
Side note: the community here on TT sounds absolutely amazing. Thank you all for sharing all of your knowledge and experience here with us newbies!
Cheers,
Mike
