In this video, two games played at the 4.5 level. One played in Indiana and one played in Florida. After watching, please leave a comment in the comment section and let me know if the teams from Indiana played 10 games against the teams in Florida, how many games would each team win?

Thanks for your kind response and not being upset. Those guys are really good. I think you guys are good as well. I guess my question is, is this truly what 4.5 pickleball is like in Indiana? I ask because I consider 4.5 pickleball to be high level play.

​@@pickleballpick-apart9787 I guess I'm not sure...? It's hard to objectively compare myself, but I feel like DUPR is pretty accurate. My DUPR is 4.3. Most or all of the Florida players in your video have significant higher ratings, especially Mark with a whopping 5.4. The Florida guys would all be considered solid 5.0s in Indiana.

There's no doubt it varies from state to state but I'm not sure how the players from Indiana are even remotely close to 4.5. While I'm no ratings expert I'd say they're much closer to 3.5 than 4.5 (even without the Florida comparison).

I looked up previous Pickleball Pirates videos where they reference player ratings for these players in the past. Mark Napartovich (5.2), Bharat "BK" Karunakaran (5.0), and David Nel (5.0). I couldn't find references for Max Green, so he must be the 4.5 player. Mark is a senior pro and BK has pro potential. It's also worth mentioning that the game in Florida is a rec game played inside at a club. The game in Indiana is at the end of a tournament and outside. Not sure the players in the Indiana tournament are at the top of their game having played all day. The comparison is apples to oranges. The state they're playing in is not particularly relevant. Theoretically, ratings are location independent. Also, people stink at self rating. You could argue, on average, play is higher in some states. But what I think people actually mean when they that is that the average player in Florida is rated higher than the average player in Indiana.

Love your videos (longtime listener first time caller)! I’m from Indiana (Carmel/Zionsville/Westfield area) and play pickleball consistently (female over 50). I’ve never played in a tournament and would self rank at 3.5. I think there is room in the system for 3.25 and 3.75 ratings :). In general, I play with 3.25 - 4.5 players (mostly 3.5 males). Those guys are 3.25-3.5 players that would lose in any 3.5+ tournament around my area. Agree that most players in Indiana are not going to be as strong as Florida players, but not a great representation of 4.5 players in Indiana. Thanks for allowing me to add my own ratings system!

Everyone has their own perspective, and Mine is at 4.0. You should be able to hit the kitchen with 75-80% of the time and also have a front and back hand roll shot at the net. I have not managed that reset shot yet. There are reasons for that. It's too big a story to go into,and also watched 40 players on 10 courts. The biggest problem? returning the ball too high over the net. I am finding that works at lower levels, but one must fine tune their game in all areas to climb on up past 4.0.

Rory what I don't understand about this question is that at least per USAP, a rating is based on skillset. What i hear more often though is a self-rating being a measure of winning - which is where location can come into play. But that's ridiculous if you scale it out; if a town has only 50 pickleball players, none of whom can consistently execute a 3rd shot drop, none of them are 4.0 players, but someone still might be the dominant player and win lots of games. Right?

I would agree strongly that there is a pretty good gap. I would expect it to go no worse than 9-1 for the players in Florida. As just mentioned, other than outdoor differences there is a difference playing when it matters and possibly several games in that day as well. Some people rise, others fall apart as it would have more stress involved than a "warm up" game. I do feel that in the video the main comments that supports my thoughts on the Indiana group really being 3.5-4.0 would be how the points were being "won" or "lost" being more mistakes made than plays forcing mistakes. Having the ref does not ensure that the players rated were rated by an organization but maybe these were self-rated. Discussing the ratings, rating systems, pro/cons and failures is probably really for another discussion.

5:33 I know we're talking about doubles here, but for what it's worth, in singles missing 1 in 10 serves is a good threshold to let you know you're serving aggressively enough. If you're not missing 1 in 10 serves you've likely left too much on the table. Forcing a weak return in singles is worth missing occasionally. In doubles 1 in 10 is too many, but you definitely shouldn't just be trying to ensure you make the serve in.

The Indiana players, to a varying degree, are at the 3.5 level. In addition the body language of the Orlando guys said "READY TO PLAY!!" whereas the Indiana players' body language said "READY FOR LUNCH!". ;-)

A couple of considerations. If the IN match was the gold medal match, how many matches had they played that day? The main reason for asking is that they are playing outdoors while the FL game was indoors, and no indication of how long they had been playing. I agree that the IN match was lower rated, I would put them in the 4.0-4.5 range, and the FL players in the 4.5-5.0 range. It just depends on which end of the range is being considered.

Obviously the players in Fla are far more advanced and are much more likely >4. Perhaps the game hasn't evolved where this small tournament in Indiana to support a true 4.5 doubles match? Look at those lines and that net - this isn't exactly a refined pickleball event. The class is 4.5+ - but anyone could enter. Apparently these guys are the best who showed up? But as you point out the way they move shows they are not really 4.5 and the bangers are probably less than 3.5 (skill wise) but do seem to have an advantage on receiving. The red team seems more like 3.5 ish but the pop ups are getting them killed. In such a match bangers have an advantage though. If you pop up on bangers they will destroy you even if you're a higher rated player! Not being able to reset will get you killed playing bangers -lol. Anyway the illustration is a good one. The winner of this little Indiana tournament would struggle to win even a single game in a 3.5 tournament in Fla. Playing truly better players is very eye opening -lol. They expose exactly what you're not good at. But in this smaller tournament, it seems the teams are fairly evenly matched so at least it's not completely one sided.

In my experience serves seem to be the least indicative of level. I see really wicked serves from 3.0 and milquetoast serves from 4.0 and better. In this case, if I had to rank the serves it would have been top two from Indiana, next 4 were Florida and last two in red from Indiana. Everything else besides serves is all Florida. Gray guy banging is not better than 3.5. Indoor is easier to have touch for drop shots than outdoors so not completely equal comparison but I doubt it would matter much. Florida guys would win 10-10. I am guessing there are players in Indiana that could match up fine with the Florida guys. Ratings are definitely not the same based on these videos though.

Bro. You are comparing three 5.0 players (two of them being "upper" level 5.0's) playing indoors in a rec game versus four dudes playing outside in a tournament. The only time rating varies is when comparing rec versus regional tournament versus PPA/APP tournament. That's where you will see variance. Some regions have stronger players than others.

I would add two thoughts. First, it is not wise to compare states using just one match from very different towns. This looks like a small town in Indiana where a "gold metal" match is played on a tennis court with bad line markings and a portable net. Compare that to the far nicer courts in Florida and I could have told you the obvious outcome before seeing even a single point played. Second, the gold metal match was likely played at the end of a long day. Those guys looked exhausted and were moving far too slowly and making far too many simple errors. They might have played much better when fresh. Perhaps not, but it is still something to take into consideration. Regardless, I can tell you for sure that rankings are not equal everywhere you go. Size of town, quality of competition, length of time pickleball has been in the area... these are just a few of the factors that determine that. Hopefully, DUPR will begin to even all that out over the next few years.

This really is a typical example of 4.5 play in the tournaments they post on their KZbin channel. So, it's really not a small sample size. Again. I have watched many of their matches. The guys in Florida, I have watched many of their games as well. Mark Napartovich is one of my favorite players. I only wish I had all the skills he has.

@@pickleballpick-apart9787 It looked like the guys in FL were treating it more like a warm up game. They were not trying their hardest. I agree that level of play differs greatly. I am one of the best players in my small town and consider myself to be a high 4.0 but not quite 4.5. When I travel, I find huge differences in quality of play. Some places I fit right in with the 4.0s. In another town I played about 10 games with players who considered themselves 5.0 and I had no problem keeping up and even coming out on top.

I dont think this is a good comparison...one is 4.5++, indoors with players who play senor Pro and have an average DUPR of 5.0. The players all know each other and are playing for fun...The other are players outdoors, in wind and sun with an average DUPR of 4.0, playing in a tournament against opponents they dont know under stress. A better comparison would be a team from Florida and team from Indiana on the SAME court with similar DUPRs and see if one is better than the other. Sorry Rory, but this was not a good pick-a-part and proves nothing about the skill set in different regions. Sorry, its a miss.

Thanks for your comments. I'm of the opinion that overall play in Florida is better than overall play in Indiana. I have seen many videos from Team Hanlon Pickleball and many videos from Pickleball Pirates. And, it's what I see over and over and over again. Much higher level in Florida than Indiana. I'm pretty confident me and my partner could beat the two teams in indiana. I don't think we could be the teams in Florida.

@pickleballpick-apart9787 that may be the case. But to prove that point, you would need to show that a person from Florida with a 4.0 DUPR is a stronger competitor than a person from Indiana with the same rating. In this video you compared a team of people with DUPRs averaging 4.0, with a team in Florida having a 5.0 average, including Marc, who plays PRO!! It's not a fair comparison in the least. I'm sure a team of 5.0 pros in Indiana could beat a 4.0s from Florida. It's dishonest, in my opinion.

Agree with above comment. Play in Florida in my opinion is higher level then many places but comparing obvious 5.0+ to 4.0 at best players does little to prove the point you are trying to make. Sorry. Usually really good content on this channel but this one is a fail for the point at hand. Overall though keep up your good work.

You’re showing significant bias toward the Florida match. You criticized the Indiana players for a basic serve and then Mark did the same thing, but you said it was to ensure he gets it in. You then (rightly) criticized the short return in the Indiana match but had no such criticism for the short dice return in the Florida match. Adding slice doesn’t excuse a short return.

I agree it was very biased. We all know the florida guys are 5.0...Mark plays senior pro!! And Florida guys play each other every day and know each others game well. Totally different vibe than a gold medal match outdoors in the elements. This was click bait, I'm disappointed.

Sorry - it's complete nonsense that a "3.5 in Cali is a 4.5 elsewhere". This is the kind of garbage that low level players spout. I've played pickleball in 11 different states. It always boils down to "casual players, local tournament players, serious tournament players". That's it. Jay Devilliers, Matt Wright and Lucy Kovalova all are out of Wichita, KS. Wichita. The 90th largest city in the US. Go to California. You can show up to tons of places that have the same low-level rec players that exist in Columbus, IN. The Kawamotos are from Indiana and train in Indiana. Ben and Collin got to where they were by training in Maryland...prior to moving to Texas.

I'm not saying a 3.5 player in California is a 4.5 elsewhere. I am saying, a 4.5 player in Indiana is generally not as good as a 4.5 player in California. I really appreciate you watching. It helps grow my channel.

Based on what? Admittedly you're a 3.5 player. California is a big state by the way. I've played in both California and Indiana. One of the best players I've ever played was from Indiana. 4.5 is 4.5 Good players can come from anywhere. Re-read what I said. Casual, rec tournaments, competitive tournaments. @@pickleballpick-apart9787
