Florida 3.5

[u/chrisdangpickleball]

What’s level you think these guys are

[u/creezdakid]

Yall are hilarious. Far right David Seckel and he is a 6.0.

[u/strawbsrgood → u/creezdakid]

Lmao this sub loves to shit on people so they feel better about themselves. In pickleball of all sports

[u/tanward → u/strawbsrgood]

Maybe they do it as a joke

[u/strawbsrgood → u/tanward]

It's 100% not joking lol

[u/Bentley306 → u/creezdakid]

My first thought was that this was an obvious joke given the level of play but I don’t recognize the players.

[u/Patient-Layer8585 → u/creezdakid]

And he's only a 3.5 in Florida?

[u/strawbsrgood]

According to this sub Florida has inflated DUPR so they're actually 3.0.

[u/RENTDGthrowaway → u/strawbsrgood]

This is Icelandic 2.5 at best though could pass for a Bolivian 3.2

[u/strawbsrgood → u/RENTDGthrowaway]

Them icelanders can sure fuckin blast some pickleballs.

It's like a soft Swahili 3 imo

[u/Cowabunga_Booyakasha → u/RENTDGthrowaway]

How many Latverias though?

[u/Puzzleheaded-Sea8340 → u/Cowabunga_Booyakasha]

Total Latveria 3

[u/FridgesArePeopleToo → u/strawbsrgood]

Was going to say, this must be North Florida because everyone knows this is 2.5 in south florida

[u/retromafia → u/FridgesArePeopleToo]

And 2.0 in the Keys

[u/ThirteenthFloor503]

bait

[u/PKLBLN]

Stop playing, this isn't 3.5 anywhere in the nation.

[u/Atlas-Stoned → u/PKLBLN]

The guy on the right is an actual 6.0 lmao it’s a joke

[u/someshooter]

If I see any dinking it has to be 4.0 and up.

[u/Dr_ManTits_Toboggan]

This would be 1.5-2.0 in Arizona

[u/dandr01d → u/Dr_ManTits_Toboggan]

0.25 in Boca Raton

[u/Dr_ManTits_Toboggan → u/dandr01d]

Negative 5.5 in SLC 

[u/charlotteduffer]

4.0 for sure. 3.5’s don’t ever dink with that kind of patience.

[u/FridgesArePeopleToo → u/charlotteduffer]

I genuinely can’t tell if this is sarcasm and you’re in on the joke or not

[u/BulgogiDude → u/charlotteduffer]

Someone in the comments recognizes a guy and says they are 6.0

[u/3xlduck → u/charlotteduffer]

agree, dinking was pretty good.

[u/Username15555551212 → u/charlotteduffer]

Forget the dinking, the video starts with a speed up that's a short hands battle that's then perfectly reset. 5.0+ easy.

[u/Illustrious-Tooth47]

This is the only game where people playing against each other look like they are working together to keep the point alive.

[u/arnut_haika]

Did the guy in green have pens in his shirt pocket and trying to stop them from falling out?

[u/Scoutback_wilderness]

Who cares

[u/SchruteFarmsPA → u/Scoutback_wilderness]

I like this answer best^^

[u/Apprehensive-Web-666]

They look very good for 3.5

[u/kev_cuddy]

Pink hat guy mostly just chilling lol

[u/spookshowbaby1234]

boring

[u/blacksheep2016]

If played in Florida this is 6.0 there.

[u/Highstick104 → u/blacksheep2016]

Jeez, not in my area, 2.5 max where I live. Would hate to get stuck in open play with those guys but unfortunately it happens.

[u/DuhHuddyDuh]

How is this the peak of pickleball

[u/onilim]

Hey I know this place, Toledo Pickle!

[u/austin101123]

This is good is 3.5 on a a 5pt scale? I'd say this is solid 8/10 play

[u/mail_escort4life]

Is this in slow motion?

[u/3xlduck]

so are their official DUPRs really 3.5?

[u/RENTDGthrowaway → u/3xlduck]

Obviously not, it’s just engagement bait.

This is Florida 5.0 DUPR for comparison, for anyone who still thinks Florida DUPRs are meaningfully different than any other major metro area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIMS9sGnv1M

[u/3xlduck → u/RENTDGthrowaway]

i suspected as much, ah reddit never disappoints.

[u/FridgesArePeopleToo → u/3xlduck]

No, but their Reddit DUPR is 3.2 (would be 2.8 in my city)

[u/mailboy11 → u/3xlduck]

Sounds about right. I have seen players with less than 3.5 play better than this

[u/lax20attack]

Late tournament 4.5

Lots of attackable balls but maybe they let them go because they are tired

[u/BulgogiDude → u/lax20attack]

Someone in the comments recognizes a guy and says they are 6.0

[u/lax20attack → u/BulgogiDude]

What about this point is 6.0? It's a standard pickleball point and we're asked to judge based off of one point.

These posts are dumb.

[u/BestChannel1058 → u/lax20attack]

There's a bunch of things that point out this is high level pickleball. The smoothness of movement, the paddle control to try to disguise the location of speedups, smoothly taking knee high dinks out of the air with control and fluidity, the lack of speedups from below the net that could be countered, etc.

[u/Leila_101 → u/BestChannel1058]

Not to mention the footwork

[u/lax20attack → u/BestChannel1058]

About half way through the video, after the lob is defended, there were multiple missed opportunities for attacks by the closer player on the right.

That's what made me think this single point is below 5.0.

[u/phuongtv88 → u/lax20attack]

He could attack, but the counter going to even harder than his attack lol. He go to the placement backhand dink to creat pop up which is right because the far right player still in transistion zone.

[u/Desroth86 → u/lax20attack]

The first one hit back to him after the lob definitely could have been hit harder, but I don’t really think the second or the third one were really that attackable, but what do I know I’m just a filthy casual rec player.

[u/Oddfellow1five1]

Southern Oregon here and this looks a lot like the 4.5 group I play with.

[u/Joebebs]

Nahh I’m from Florida and this is 1.0 for 5 year olds

/s

[u/No_Comfortable8099]

Lizard Lick 3.235s. Central NY 4.7321s

[u/Gabor419]

I just don't understand why the nearside player in the green t-shirt keeps his left arm like it's in a sling.

[u/MixedFluidsAllOver]

this would be 0.5-1.0 in my area

[u/fflis]

I’d say 4.2ish. Dinking was pretty aggressive. Those dinks on a 3.5 would earn a pop up for sure.

[u/BulgogiDude → u/fflis]

Someone in the comments recognizes a guy and says they are 6.0

[u/fflis → u/BulgogiDude]

Ha. I did my best. Hard to tell off one point.

[u/Perfect_Cod_7183]

What a dumb sport.
