Any bets?? Leave a comment below. I’ll be joining the premiere tomorrow with you guys

[@megowopwop8545]

You foresure. put my house on it lol

[@vicplaystennis9158]

based on my experience playing a rustier pro than you with the same setup, I think trey will get bageled.

[@proshepherd]

Those racquets feel surprisingly nice to hit with. My money is on Karue, no games dropped.

[@bigbrain6966]

Trey has a serve which could get him a game when Karue gets used to Saber so 6-1 Karue

[@tennisjourney]

I would have picked Trey over Nadal with the Saber but not the clean hitting Karue. Great return practice for Karue because Trey uses his height on the serve well.

[@Winners-Only]

Huge thanks to Karue for having me on, always a good time. Time to keep climbing the rankings. Karue is truly a great dude, so let’s keep supporting him any way we can on his journey!

[@IdontKnow-jt2oz]

Bro your serve is crazy especially the flat out wide

[@timurshax]

Trey, well played. I think apart from your backhand the rest of your game is quite solid, especially your serve. To think that you got to that kind of serve in two years is crazy. Keep it up. Could you hint on the model of the Yonex racquet you are playing with? Thanks!

[@alwaysprepared]

It's amazing how much you were able to cause Karue problems with your serve! It's massive given your rating, for sure! You do need to work on all your foot-faulting, however, particularly on the Deuce side. That right foot gets in front of your left and into the court quite a bit. Your forehand did damage, too! I agree that it might have been the best serving I have seen you produce! You even got a game off Karue! Incredible! You are a threat against anyone, dude!

Respect to Trey for accepting this challenge. Personally, I would not have even if Karue uses a frying pan😅

[@sudiptamallik1006]

😂😂

[@demneptune]

Roddick did just that against a top regional player

[@andrelara2401]

​@@demneptune Who was the winner?😮🤔

[@demneptune]

@@andrelara2401 roddick. Cant believe it myself, but i saw him with a frying pan against a regular player. Didnt look convincing, but he won by hitting airballs/weak shots and waiting for errors.

[@tennisteuton]

What a nice idea, and Trey held his own. What I also find interesting: 11:55 the saber is marketed as a sweet-spot tool, but apparently it really improves your footwork as well.

[@mbr1254]

You need good footwork to get to the spot that allows you to hit the sweet spot. Karue mentioned this fact as I'm watching this. 12:01.

[@tennisteuton]

@@mbr1254 Yes, that's what I was referring to. Makes a lot of sense too

[@tennisteuton]

@@mbr1254 Federer said something to the extent of needing to move fast, so you can hit with more time. Isn't that always the truth! I'd say 70% of the stroke is moving towards it.

[@WinstonDu]

I would destroy karue if he's using this racket

[@ishanprabhakar1651]

I agree Karue is a 3.0 where I’m from 😂

[@pbpwn]

I cannot wait to see this. I think Karue will win though lol

[@FabioMolle]

[@ifeanyiikpegbu6465]

Hello Winston. What's your UTR?

[@jasongoodman4930]

😂😂😂 can't wait!!!! More trash talking please..... gotta build up the hype

[@hdjdhjdfdtf]

Trey has really improved wow I bet in 12 months he could beat Winston haha

[@KaruesellHQ]

I agree

[@Jkan2001]

Not with that backhand. Winston is way more solid off both sides

[@grimson]

Yeah that's the problem. Winston would always have a plan of attack. @@Jkan2001

[@sjp4565]

@@KaruesellHQ RIP poor Winston

[@brianlee5584]

I doubt it. Winston is a lot better.

[@-Munditimum-]

Trey is a good guy, and has some monster serves, especially for his level. Yea, K I think Winston is next! This was so much fun and thanks for posting! Cheers! M

[@Be_Real_2]

He constantly foot faults. Most of his serves don’t count.

[@-Munditimum-]

Oh I didn't notice...that's something easy to fix and I don't think it would change the big serves, at least not that much.@@Be_Real_2

[@ybakos]

I had a frustrating day on the court and was feeling down all day. You guys made it all better. Thank you!

[@bsinghgill]

This has given me an idea about how can give myself a handicap using my FT Saber against a weekend warrior I sometimes hit with. It will also help me focus the mind and my foot work 👍

[@michaelabere6770]

Yeah, need to see this racket vs Winston

[@KaruesellHQ]

It will happen

[@soundoflasers]

@@KaruesellHQKarue will still win, easily. His forehand is so clean.

[@my240sx2]

That would be interesting 😀

[@JimmyOlsson]

@@KaruesellHQ Let's go! Loving the Tennis community on KZbin!

[@grimson]

For sure. I think Karue was only half trying here, and made a lot of noises like it was hard, but it really wasn't. That's no slight on Trey at all. It's just Karue is a pro.@@soundoflasers

[@Tlevy2]

Great stuff and I love to see you playing against all levels and the creative content. I agree a 9 UTR against you with that racket would be a close match. At that level, they should be able to push you around more if you're using that racket. I think you still win, but let's see it! And I agree with all the comments that Trey continues to get better. He is a solid athlete. If he has an actual coach and takes some lessons, watch out.

[@KaruesellHQ]

I will make it happen

[@eyeofhorus1301]

+@Tlevy2 9 UTR should be too good for sure... I like the idea of starting with 6 utr and slowly working his way up maybe after that half a point of utr leaps each time or a little more. I've seen 10 utrs in person smacking the ball at each other with extreme consistency so 9 should be impossible with this racquet

[@FunctionalTennis]

I need to find out my UTR and fly out to The West Coast !!

[@soundoflasers]

Trey's got the best 5.5 UTR serve on the planet.

[@transklutz]

Then he should play me hah

[@luyin1961]

Trey got a great serve for UTR 5.5. I love warming up with saber, but certainly don’t have the legs to use it on the run. Crazy how well Krue hits with it.

[@gregbishopmav]

Notice how Karue hits zero bh slice because despite being oddly good at most strokes, slice is muchly bad with the saber haha! Fun match and love the yt tennis community crossover!

[@chubun6631]

I switched to a junior racket recently and found that besides a considerably drop in power everything else is pretty much the same. This racket also has smaller head but I don't think that would have much effects on consistency unless the 5.5 can really force Karu to hit on the run constantly which is not very likely. So my prediction is, it would take longer but Karu still wins eventually.

[@rbrianharris]

Excellent demonstration that tennis is also between the ears. I'd like to see what would happen against a player who knew court position and tactics just a bit better. More attacking, moving in, etc.

[@kensan73]

Very awesome idea! Can't wait to see the result!

[@spinpulse]

Great to see Fabio Molle's Saber racket featured! I played with it last week. It surely makes it challenging to keep a rally going.

[@Jondaliner]

Alright Karue I’m 6.3 UTR. Come tear me up next 👊

[@KaruesellHQ]

Stop by

[@edwardypark]

Great match Karue! Was fun to watch. I think you really exposed Trey’s backhand after the first couple of games. Trey’s a great player and I’m sure he’ll improve that part of his game soon.

[@mintycarzinho8898]

Please make this a series to see how far you get until you lose🙏 Awesome vid! Keep it up Karue! Best of luck in the season💯

[@KaruesellHQ]

Will do

[@FabioMolle]

pumped for this!!

[@fosho8214]

good luck in Bakersfield and Calabasas, those draws look loaded. come to texas to visit winners only sometime.

[@steviea6070]

@@gab_ale yeah, 💯 percent the original

[@farid1406]

Great set Karue! You always say your backhand is your better shot, but it seemed to me that your forehand was what shined in this tough situation.

[@kensan73]

Next video: I PLAY A FUTURES WITH A 37 SQ IN RACQUET

[@kensan73]

Ok maybe that's too far, but how about you vs marcos and you both have sabres?!?!

[@MrJohnnyblazed]

Felix from tennis brothers and Karue from my tennis HQ playing double together in M25 in California?

[@MrJohnnyblazed]

I was right!!!! Draw came out a couple hours ago....

[@smueller12244]

Dude I called that set! 6-1, he knows the force of the saber! Perfect opportunity for winners only to learn from one of the best backhands in the world outside of the ATP 100. Edit: next call is you cook winston 6-3. Need more pop on the saber serve tho, go bigger first and same second.

[@adityasarang5755]

I didn't read UTR in the title and thought Karue was playing with that racket against 5.5 USTA 😆and thought no way can he beat a 5.5 with that racket. Regardless, it's amazing to watch how effortlessly Karue plays. @Winners-Only has a great serve and solid forehand and seems like a solid 5.5 UTR.

[@user-pz5fv3es3m]

cool! would love to see you play winston with this

[@proshepherd]

I'm a 9.0 UTR at the moment, Karue. Let me know when it's time to face a 9.0 and I'll be there 😂

[@MrBolaextra]

Wow Trey’s serves are looking good, way above his current level!

[@oac001]

i’m sure foot faulting almost every time helps 😊

[@MrBolaextra]

@@oac001 Well that's true hahaha, but it' a rookie mistake, easy to fix. The fundamentals look really good though if you ask me.

[@alvindexplorer2567]

Trey, stand one foot or 6 inches behind the baseline when serving. That will stop the foot-faulting.

[@BrazilDan1]

I to myself, sometimes during the video: "Wait... who is playing with the small racket again?" Not to diminish Trey at all. He plays way better than I do, with solid strokes, great serves, and all. It just goes to show how incredibly high the pro-tennis level is.

[@querien3]

Great content, really enjoying the vids both old and new! where can I buy that small racquet? couldn't find it on tennis warehouse

[@Whisper555]

A Top 1000 player versus a UTR 5.5 is a massacre. The use of the Sabre racquet is only a minor hindrance.

[@transklutz]

Feel sorry for top 1000 player 😂

[@oac001]

trey has some really bad foot faults

[@pbpwn]

I noticed the same thing, his right foot usually steps on or over the line on his first serve. Trey if you see this, just something to be aware of 🙂

[@alvindexplorer2567]

Is there a Saber tournament? Would be good fun.

[@rsmith02]

What great sports on both sides of the net. I'd like to see Karue hit with the Big Bubba next. Can't hit out with that thing!

[@Wooooosaaaaaa]

Would love to know where in LA this is

[@nbaclassicsish]

Trey has a really good serve.

[@brunis_m]

This is both amusing and depressing. Karue misses less with that than me with my 100 sqin frame

[@grimson]

I mean he's a pro with an ATP ranking.

[@turbulenttennis]

serve feels a bit more controlled with the saber, less leg drive, just more careful in general. nice to see that kick serves are still possible with the saber though

[@keylargo5157]

Trey , your serve was really on!

[@itschickenlittle1409]

Was a 6.2 UTR but haven’t played much tournaments in the past few months so now I’m 5.84 but I’d love to play a set! Lol in Texas

[@tomr6955]

"It felt in" lol, so many old guys at the club say this when the ball is a foot out. To be fair though, yours was probably in.

[@christiannovak-zemplinski9749]

Impressive! Do you change your swing in any way with the Saber (flatter?) to adapt or just kind of hit your normal strokes. I ordered one a few days ago, but suspect I’ll hit the frame (or even miss the racquet…😂) a lot.

[@KaruesellHQ]

I don’t try to spin the ball too much for better results but that’s also how I play with a normal racket

[@ez2733]

I have to wait for 21 hours?! What a tease.

The 37 sq inch saber racket! I won 7-5!

[@davincielgin]

Judging from the less than enthusiastic footwork, this was an easy win. I would love to see a 4.5 take this challenge on.

[@ez2733]

Karue, does the small head size “force” you to hit through the ball with better contact (as opposed to hitting late sometimes with buggy whips)? Trying to see if I should invest into one to improve my contact point. Thanks!

[@lisandrodelacruz4677]

Can't wait for the set against Winston.

[@speedymr]

The level difference is huge. I think Karue could beat only with the handle too.

[@CrabNoodleSoupp]

Should try left handed against Winston as the next match!

[@xxpinghead7xx]

I volunteer as tribute when you need a 50 yr old w/ 8.7 UTR. Confession time as well. My coach when I was a junior whooped me with something similar when I was 16. He was top 130 in the world, 2 time all American at UGA back in 1989. And for those wondering, i was recruited by D1 and D2 schools back in the day so I could play.

[@smueller12244]

the saber will somehow make his backhand better. 6-1 Karue.

[@RoddyAlt]

Govind vs Karue with both using this racquet. Maybe fast4 sets.

[@jonathanchen1026]

Before watching, I’m going to say Karue wins 6-3 if it’s just one normal set.

[@jonathanchen1026]

Boy I was wrong! Was hoping Trey’s serve would get him some games. I think it would take a 8-9 UTR to beat you while you used that!

[@Jolo_Lee]

I actually just bought my first saber a few days ago. This is a pretty cool idea and potentially a great series Karue! I’m only 3.5 usta but maybe I might have a chance w your left hand using saber 😂.

Hi Karue, I’ve been playing for 5 months. Would you recommend the saber only for seasoned players or also for beginners trying to improve their ball contact?

Would probably stick to just learning how to hit the ball. I would recommend using the orange tennis balls (for kids and beginners) to learn how to get a few for the shot

[@rafapazos06]

@@KaruesellHQ Never thought of that. Thanks for the advise. I will get some and try them out. My coach has told me that my forehand unit turn is very good and that by its looks he would say I’ve been playing for years but that I need to work on hitting that sweet spot. Those are like highlights, I lack strength everywhere but I’ve felt the progress and I already reached my initial objective of being able to play with someone at a low amateur level.
