Several guys in my local group are in their late seventies and playing much of the game at this level.

lol. Very few anyway. Also very few dinks from lady in pink and white and very few from guy with white shirt and very few from guy with dark shirt. Way fewer 3rd and 5th shot drops to get to the net. Seemed like the average rally length was less than 6 hits. Way more lobs than drop shots. For all that, they were still pretty good.

@@929mmr The lady in pink is not doing many dinks in large measure because her partner is making wonky shot selections, or mishitting balls when he does make the right choice. He had some athleticism for putting away balls above the net at sharp angles, but otherwise, I was holding my breath every time he touched the ball. On one sequence, lady in orange made a great cross court dink from off court in a low crouch, while lady in pink rushed to the middle to feast on a pop up. When the pop up didn't happen, it was an easy passed ball. So she also contributed to her own lack of dinking by assuming the other team couldn't successfully dink, either.

What does the 4.0 you've faced look like? Post a video.

It's 3.5

it's a 4.0 for 60 plus but not younger skilled

@@jeffhudson1051 How to they heat the Pickleball complex in the winter time?

@@duanehensley8835 They don't. It's outdoors but covered.

@@jeffhudson1051 Must not get cold down there.

Really! How did none of the five people involved catch that?

Cost them the game 😢

@@pickleballer1729 Didn't challenge the ref. Ref called side out so it was cearly his serve not hers.

The error happened when they changed ends. It was 8-5-2 when they changed and the guy should have been serving from the left side and he served from the right. Not sure who is responsible for that. Seems like it is on the ref at the side change to ensure everyone gets back to the correct positions. They played all the way until 11-10-1 before the ref called a fault.

​​@@jpstenslandI spotted a wrong receiver at 10-11-2. At 10-11-1 the receivers switched sides on a lob and never returned to their correct positions. The ref should have called it then instead of waiting after the sideout.

Top of his paddle was above his wrist when he contacted the ball. Main reason next year will be drop serve only

There wasn’t an error on his actual serve, he was called out because they claim he was in the wrong position. Meaning he wasn’t to be the first serve on that particular serving moment.

@@h20bearboy65 In the freeze frame, his ball contact is just fine, almost technically perfect.

One freeze frame? Yeah. Do you just not know the rule? Or are you one of those guys who thinks you need to cheat the serve to beat other people, so you feel the need to defend other cheaters?

don't forget that this is at the end of a long day of playing many games, possibly in the heat, so they are most likely not at their best

and it's likely a 4 for 60 plus, which would be not as good as a 4 for younger, skilled players

This is average 3.5 level, not advanced

talk is cheap

@@whobru who are you bruh? Pickleball is a legit baby mode of tennis... it's like taking a calculus course and then testing addition and multiplication, like that shi ez bruh

show up at a park and a 65 year old will kick your azz in pickleball....serious. prove me wrong...video it...make a youtube video of you crushing a experienced older pickleball player...@@landeeztutors

@@landeeztutorsnot really. Pickleball starts a little like tennis/table tennis but gets more like a badminton game. It actually is a slower more precision game than this play indicated.
