Finally a video that shows the true skill level play of real 4.5 players. There are a lot of mediocre videos claiming 3.5, 4.0, + play on KZfaq.

I am a 4.0-4.5 player. I watched this video twice. This is high level of play. The girl on the pink team has a wicked two-handed powershot. Her partner is a banger who is the type I am use to playing, he over-poached on a shot in this match. The guy on the black team is FN awesome. He blocked a ATP shot and I like his style of play and his partner is also good. I really enjoyed this match, as it had some great shots, but the black team was dominate in their performance.

The Banger in the pink shorts is fighting on two fronts. The two good opponents in front of him. And the left side of his shorts.

Everyone here is a 4.5 player. I am also 4.5 player. What you are watching is a tournament - no one is perfect during a tournament due to the increased level of stress. Most of these players are most likely ex tennis players. If you were to match up any of these players with 3.5 or 4.0 players during a rec game, those 3.5 or 4.0 players would simply get destroyed. If you want to understand the ratings, you can either look up the descriptions online or play with someone who is a former competitive tennis player.

Good stuff, dig your team's style

Great game, subbed!

Too many nerds in here complaining about what is/isn't 4.5. Pink skirt's 2 handed backhand tho...WOW!

I just watched another game 2 of the same teams playing. The speed and play is good. This is 4.5+. Those that say this is 3.5 because of unforced errors, those are not unforced. It is just good fast and athletic play that the younger group is playing.

Sweet ….. I love the appreciation magicians have for other magicians, and yes, you are one of the best!

I like that little jump you did at 1:23

Good game, I would come down on a good 4.5 level. The team in black does have better shots. She has a great cross court tight shot that has to be placed with less power. The guy on the pink team is a banger with some good low drives. They all have roll shots at the net.

very enjoyable to watch

Good game. Team in pink shouldn’t have been trying to use slice returns. Made the 3rd shot drop and drive much easier.

Guy in black is very smart player! 👍👏🏻

lol, I don’t know these people but , here is your sign, if you think this is less than 4.5, if you don’t recognize the different skills on exhibit then you really don’t know pickleball.

Asian guy's backhand flick is nasty.

People thinking this isn’t 4.5 just shows how people think they are much better than they actually are.

Wait Montclair nj?

Fun match to watch

Nice game. What is this being recorded on? Quality is quite good

Your partner plays a lot like me! Makes a lot of unforced errors but looks so friggin cool doing it!!!

Why the need to tap paddles after every shot?

John isner has a dandy pickleball serve

No doubt in my mind that these are not 4.5 players. They have the skill set.

Definitely higher than normal 4.0 players but I would debate that the guy in white for men’s caliber level he seems like 4.2 too many pop ups and missed shots as well as over poaching and not finishing points when needed

Bad etiquette to cheer your opponents unforced errors.

Yelling “cmonnnn” and then saying to the other team great job and good points is cringe lmao. Celebrate and move on

Pink team: slow your game down. Practice finesse.

If this is 4.5 level, it's possible that I am 4.5 too 😂 even though my DUPR is only 3.51

no way this is 4.5+...can someone confirm this is 4.5+

Too many silly unforced errors to be 4.5.

Enough of the paddle tapping nonsense after every play. Just get to your spot and play.

This is between 4.0-4.25

This feels like 3.5 play

The attitude of pickle ballers are annoying as f.
