I’m excited to see how the new updates to DUPR affect it coming at the end of the month. Also that $8M in funding they just got!

Why would it??? DUPR Rating is only about whether you won your match against the opponent you played or lost! That’s what affects your rating +/-

Yes, no matter what someone else tries to say in here, your partner will change how your rating is impacted as well as the rating of the opposition total. If there is more distance between teams total DUPR it will adjust more than if they are very close together. Likewise, your personal impact will also be impacted more or less depending on your partners rating. This is somewhat fair though as you shouldn't be able to partner with a 5.0 if you are a 3.5 just to get over a 4.0 rating. So, while it will eventually happen, it will take many more matches than if you and your partner are currently both 3.5 beating 4.0 teams.

Yes!

I think there are different levels to this. A “slightly” delaminated paddle, that would qualify as delaminated in theory provides more “pop” or “spring”. One that is extremely delaminated would probably be worthless.

I am hopeful it will work out but it has some issues that are not as obvious right off the top. One it's very subjective to your area and player group. For example, if you play with the same 12 people all the time after 100 games each your net total for the entire 12 people would still be 3.5X12 because every time someone goes up, another player goes down by the same amount. The other problem is it's a base 3.5 for any new player, so the only way to go up is to again take from other players. If you're a 5.0, you're going to lower a lot of 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 and possibly some 5s on your way up. It needs a better basis for the starting DUPR of a player and if your group is playing tightly but then someone goes out and over or under performs it should have a bit of an impact on your group. Again, using my 12X3.5, if somehow 2 players were exactly 3.5 still after the 100 games but played a 4.0 tournament and won it, then likely the entire 12 players are better than their DUPRs but are restricted by the locality they play in. Oh well, enough on this and I still with DUPR luck.

Thanks and enjoy it!

Absolutely! In our blog post about delamination I have a link to a video that shows the sound difference! Major!

@@peterhoopis Perfect! You hadn't mentioned it in the video so thanks for the prompt to check that out. You can hear it three courts away when someone's paddle is funky :)

After reading the rules, challenges during the match can lead to forfeiture of the match. Before the match, the questioned paddle can be replace. After the match, the results stand.

great points! Agree!

You forget they’re all failed tennis and table tennis players. So them saying fast equipment isn’t fair is going to be common

20 subs cut him some slack bro 😂

@@peterbarrett5496 20 Subs?? Sorry that I'm not cool enough to know what that means. What I do know is when I have a delaminaton in my paddle - and I have had delamination in a cheap paddle - I can hear it and feel it. Then I chuck it. Why don't we all just play and enjoy the game.
