@@kathywolfe9020 The paddle needs to stay under the wrist and below the waist at contact. She has a legal serve.

@@jokieser5988 it was open to everyone with a minimum 4.0 skill level and at least 60 years old.

he's probably watching the pros too much and trying to play like them. doesn't work for us average Joes

I counted 7 points he lost (when receiving, so actual lost points) by poaching his partner, then being ridiculously out of positions. That being said the game was played in good spirits

Do you think we were standing on the line, from this camera angle?

Very much so. As soon as the guy in black on the ad side moves forward it looks like his toes are on the line!

@@Shaun949 maybe your right but I don’t think it’s definitive. Need a side angle to be sure.

For sure. Hard to tell from the angle

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your comments!

Do you have any of their earlier matches in the tournament?

@@lejapondesshogun this group was open to anyone with a skill rating of 4.0 and above, with a minimum age of 65.

We were saying the score occasionally during the play-by-play and was hoping that was enough. Thanks for watching.

@@duanehensley8835 until a better rating system comes out, in my opinion, ratings are for novelty purposes and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. 😳

@@spaghettimanpickleball Should one expect that an older 55+ 4.0 player to be not as good as a younger 4.0 player? In other words, how good a player actually is is based off of a compelation of age bracket and dupre ratings?

@@duanehensley8835 just 5 years ago, before any attempt at a formulated rating system, tournament directors gave the governing body recommendations for an individuals skill level. They were for life unless you wanted to challenge it at some point. A 5.0 player over 50 years old would mostly lose to the younger 5.0 but not when playing other 50+ players. The new rating systems are based on wins regardless of age. The data is incomplete with no subjective data allowed. In my opinion, it’s made the ratings very confusing for everyone. I would like to see more age based tournaments with pool play followed with an upper and lower bracket playoff.

The greater the level player; the better there foot work and the more relaxed and consistent they are in their form, technique and strokes. And speed and athleticism does not always win.

@@spaghettimanpickleball The only advantage a younger player may have over an older player of the same ranking is MAYBE speed/athleticism and MAYBE vision. The greater the level player; the better there foot work and the more relaxed and consistent they are in their form, technique and strokes. And speed and athleticism does not always win.

Thanks for watching and your comment.
