I love it when the person with the worst angle calls the ball out with such conviction.

Yes. I know. It was clearly in. She did that a couple of times.

Even though it's painful to watch the 2.5 - 3.0 level, I appreciate your analysis of these types of players because that's the range I'm in currently. Learning pb, with no other racket sport experience, is a slow progression out of the beginner stage. It's so frustrating.

It can be. My advice, do something other than play games. Find a practice partner and practice. Best of luck. Thanks for watching.

@@pickleballpick-apart9787 I'll have to rent a ball machine at a new club opening up in my area. I can't convince anyone from the rec center to do drills. It's so frustrating. Perhaps I'll meet a drill partner at the new club in the next few months. Thanks for your response. 👍🏻

This can be difficult to watch however it’s important for newer players to understand what they need to do to improve their game. Very new to the game myself and I have learned so much from your analysis. Thank you.

Rory, At about 12:40, you say that switching hands, unless you're ambidextrous, is a sign of a beginner. This lady has potential but is clearly a beginner. I have a strong backhand but sometimes the ball is out of reach for my backhand and switching hands extends my reach. Running for a ball, hit hard at a sharp angle to the side, I recently got an ATP with my left hand. My backhand is much stronger than my left hand so unless reach is the issue, I prefer my backhand.

An ATP with your other hand! That's pretty impressive.

The swift 2.0 is one of the best portable net systems out there. Better than a lot of other possible choices.

I get it. It's portable. Thanks for watching.

The net was missing the center post triangle stand, and it looks like net wasn’t attached at the bottom center either. User error is real. 😊

I feel like sometimes you have slightly too big a focus on the fundamentals at least with your rating assessment, now I'd like to be clear I agree with pretty much everything you say however the thing I think I would add is that someone's rating isn't 100% determined by their ability to get to the kitchen while that is the biggest factor I think things like resets, hand speed, drives, overheads and or shot selection can carry someone's game especially at lower levels if they are strong in one or multiple of those areas. All this being said I am curious about your opinion Rory how do you personally rate a player who for example plays at the 3.5-4.0 level and is pretty inconsistent on their drops and they don't do much dinking or smart play at the net but they have a wicked topspin drive and fast speedups at the body that work at that level but any higher rated player would just counter, reset or let it go out.

Thanks for responding and thanks for asking. I think 3.5 and 4.0 players who have more of a power game do really well against players who play similar to them. I think once they play against players who they've never played against before and who have more of an all-around game, including a short game, will give them a difficult time. I do realize the game is changing and more newer players are trying to win with a power game. They use that game because hitting the ball hard is much easier than having touch. I'm not saying a team that only has power can't beat a team with a more versatile game. It happens. But, if I were a betting man, I place my bet on the team with the all-around game.

They may be low rated players and do need to improve their game but they are gamers, the defensive was good and an enjoyable game to watch.

I’d like to see the team on the far court play in a 3.5 match. I thought they both were solid players. As for the closer court, the younger woman has a bright future I think. She has good hands. She could quickly become a 3.5 player with a better understanding of placement on the court.

I agree. Thanks for watching.
