I Challenged a D3 Player to a Tennis Match!

[@chuckersthenut2097]

Damn Trey. You looked good here. Really loved your attitude "I wanna keep playing" at 7-4. I can tell you are looking to attack the ball more. The wind makes that difficult but the mindset is developing. Just keep grinding.

[@cayvenyi5370]

I played this guy back in the ITA regionals! Crazy seeing him pop up in my recommended good win hunter

[@zachary8033]

Aside from some obvious issues, this is is some of the best tennis on the channel so far. A lot more intensity on your side. It was wild seeing some of those ball that were about to go out curve back into the court.

[@kdesa1]

Hell yeah, love to see some fellow D3 tennis kings on this channel

[@jasonblattner9697]

This is so neat! I’m also a D3 player and in fact I’ve played hunter twice! We’ve been in the same conference two years now haha. Im also from the Austin area and would love to play if you ever need a hitting partner! Keep up the content man, love watching it!

[@bojack3827]

10:22 Thats pretty funny when you hear what he says and then see his next shot!

[@Winners-Only]

😂😂😂 i’m dead

[@MostLikedComment123]

wouldn't underestimate the title of d3, the top ten teams in the nation are extremely competitive on all levels,

[@thejohnnytapia123]

Loved this match. Hunter seems like a nice guy and a great practice partner. People that love tennis and like talking about the game are the best. tip for you backhand: you are over rotating (you are facing your opponent at the time of contact). think staying more time with the ball on your left side and hit though the ball

[@williamc4221]

You're doing the right thing by playing lots of matches. You have reasonable technique in all of your strokes. The worst mistake most adult players make who are new to the game is they obsess over technique. They drill all the time and rarely play matches. Only drill if you have a major flaw technically. Best of luck with your progress.

[@applesforakbar]

Your progress is outstanding amigo! Keep it going. I'd say 80-90% of your shots going long are because your feet are moving still during contact - plant as soon as you make that decision and transfer that weight.

[@FlyxSkyTv]

Very good in the clutch TREY!!!

[@JoostPTM]

If your backhand and serve return are improving then life would get easier! Keep up the good work 🔥

[@webby6396]

Hi mate, Great stuff so far. Try to staighten your left arm on your backhand and push it back and use your wrist and a little left arm to drop the racket and whip the racket low under the ball up to the shoulder. Let your left arm and wrist do everything on your backhand

[@tennisjourney]

Lefty serves are just so tough. Good Match given the conditions. It's good to practice in the worst conditions though. subscribed.

[@Itskarue]

Keep battling

[@tennisteuton]

Keeping up like that against a D3 player? Amazing.

[@bmanbusee3812]

Well, there are different levels of D3 levels honestly. I’ll leave it at that, good video!

[@gab_ale]

Trey is showing signs of USTA high 3.5 to low 4.0. Many things keep clicking into place.

[@bluephoenix8630]

@@bmanbusee3812 Yeah, like i'm a 10.5 UTR d3 player

[@grimson]

Wow, tough conditions! We had that wind in Raleigh yesterday. Not fun! I think you both could've used a little more topspin on your second serves.

[@ND-9]

Trey you more than held your own against a higher rated player. Keep up the great work bro🎾

[@aaronp0324]

Best match so far! Cleaned up a lot of your strokes. Be mindful of common shots your opponent will hit back shallow amd come to the net to smash them. ie deep balls to your opponent's backhand. But fun to watch this one!

[@Crad4DRC]

nice playing trey, let me know if you’re ever in the Los Angeles area. I’ll give you a good match, cheers

[@mattiastennis]

Would be interesting to see how the match would go either indoors or on a non-windy day. Try best of 3 sets next time

[@andreasmueller8353]

Impressive after one year. Need to swing through more with forehand and not move back while hitting backhand.

[@astarothgr]

Damn, Trey's got a serve!

[@junpenz]

Hey Trey! What do you use for your camera? Also what mics do you use on court?

[@gregnelson588]

Is that Vandergrift Highschool? I play there all the time!

[@IamnotJohnFord]

Great playing in harsh conditions. Gotta say, your backhand continues to be your weakest part of your game. I did like how in game seven you appeared to use make yourself use your backstroke more. A lot of times you run around a backhand to try to make it a forehand. Sometimes it works, but often you just wind up hitting a weaker forehand. I had the same problem with my forehand. I'm left handed. So, I get a lot of balls to my backhand. So, my backhand became my primary weapon due to frequent use. I would often run around my forehand to hit a backhand. It was weird I know. It took me about a year of forcing myself to retrain and use my forehand to finally get to where it's useful. Now I hit a forehand as a weapon, and a backhand as a backhand. Keep forcing yourself to use your backhand. If not, as you increase in caliber of opponents they will immediately spot the weakness and exploit it.

[@RF_Andy]

Damn dude youre getting way better at staying in points even pushing this guy around. What are you liking better the yonex or prostaff?

[@MishitTennis]

Dude playing with the vcore 95 at your level may not be the best choice. Maybe try the 98 or the 100.

[@gab_ale]

Yeah even Karue from MyTennisHQ moved from the Vcore 95 to the Percept 100. Marcos Giron also moved from it to a Percept 97.

[@MishitTennis]

@@gab_ale I'm an intermediate player and too many people fall into the racquet trap. Better to stick with a stick you like and spend the money on a solid tennis pro lesson.

[@gab_ale]

@@MishitTennis At least now we have all these demo programs to help us make better decisions.

[@michaellott5007]

TREY! you are aloud to lob when they come in. Stop trying to rip a winner until you get better at it. Anyway love the channel 🤗

[@stranger360th]

Nice game. But what strikes me is that both of you made so many double faults! If you have a important point, just throw the ball somehow over the net and you will be surprised how many times even better players struggle to do something with it. In any case, you give them the chance to make a mistake against simply losing the point 😉 @trey: If you review your watched out on the many times when you fall back during your strong which makes the ball dropping into the net. Stepping back is okay when a ball comes wide but with the stroke you always have to have a forward momentum. Try it!

[@Schulze151]

Hey trey, are you testing different rackets at the moment?

[@Winners-Only]

Yes!

[@Nessaj87]

@@Winners-Only Vcore is a very solid line, but I do hope you are trying the 100 or 98 and not the 95. You need some forgiveness at your level. Vcore will help you launch the ball higher over the net to reduce your unforced errors, while giving you loads of extra topspin. Solid upgrade from Pro Staff.

[@zachary8033]

@@Nessaj87 The 95s don't feel that small with the head shape

[@ryvo43]

​@@zachary8033 I agree. I've played with VCore 95 and 98 and didn't really feel any difference. I imagine the difference between 95 and 100 is more extreme, but I think the head shape is a big factor for Yonex racquets

[@AdamMyers22]

Great play. You need to play this guy again, lefty. Recommend you play the ball, not the other player. Ie. To many unforced errors.

[@Rigo_S]

Trying out new rackets?

[@wolpetto]

You played against a more experienced player that saw your weaknesses and exploited them. Technicquewise your opponent was quite weak but you lack the skills to take advantage of his weaknesses. You have a good forehand and serve. However, you need to learn how to slice and to volley in order to develop a short and net game(your weaknesses).

[@MadHolms]

you have to play again when it is not windy; that would show the real level. Myself I struggle a lot in the wind, and most of the time is about luck and not skill :) But overall, you played pretty well! Nice serves.

[@ismailedoomun8006]

So d3 is just 4.0?
