Lol - nah - I have all the matches. I was asked not to release some and I also want to keep those including teenagers private. So I will release over time as I have time to title and edit.

Red side is inverted. Black is long pips.

The second video has a guy with a very interesting style. Not sure how I survived that match but I pushed a lot of balls.

Nothing wrong with being pushy sometimes, better than pissing away points and if the push is good enough quality, lower percentage for opponent and later gives you chances.

BY comparison, Next Level, when he isn't cranky or slow in pain would prolly be in Div 1 city north of Seoul with a 30%+ win ratio. That division covers pretty much 3 levels. You gotta be 2400 to be forced into Div 0 or Div MINUS 1 (two levels better than Div 1). I played Div 5 and worked my up to Div 2 City before I left Korea. I currently MIGHT be able to get by as Div 2, but soon enough, the Tourney Directors and enemy coaches would bring overwhelming pressure to put me in Div 1 city, where I would likely have a 20-30% win ratio.

Hope Division is where they put you if you cannot receive serves or rally worth crap. Div 5 city is for a new player who can do some kinda of serve receive and rally. This is 1-3 levels below average amateur USA or Korean club level. Div 4 is pretty much your 1400-1800 USATT rated player. You might get moved to Div 3 at 1700 USATT level (that is 2-3 levels above USA average Joe in a club), but you would lose many matches.

Very cool breakdown/writeup Der, thank you!

A bit late, I finished for today. I'll do that tomorrow though!

As for today, I practiced counterlooping the opening loop. I'll upload when my mate sends me the video.

No problem. I can kill two birds with one stone by doing third ball and fifth ball attack.

Vs a lobber - the match did not count as out team won the tie on the prior match which was being played at the same time as this one - had a severe second set meltdown.

Sir, what is on his FH? His FH warmup seems very exaggerated... is it short pips or anti?

Inverted. Didn't even check. IF you lob with anything but inverted, you belong in the psychiatric ward. Beyond that, all things are possible.

ah ok, i see from 2nd game, his red FH is inverted. so not short pips.

2:59-3:03 / 5:55-5:58 / 9:40-9:45 - WHOOSH!

6:38-6:51 / 8:10-8:19 / 8:33-8:41 / 9:26-9:35 / 12:08-12:14 NICE!

9:12-9:20 WOW

Phillippe Dassonval. I'm sure you know him

 

[songdavid98]

Counterlooping the opening loop.

I counter the forehandloop for most of the video.

Then I counter the backhand for the last 5 minutes

 

[NextLevel]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

He is a chopper - what about him?

 

[songdavid98]

He is a chopper - what about him?

To me, he's a lobber with pips, that knows how to chop a little. If you hit hard to his backhand, he essentially just lobs it back with a small downward motion.

I'd classify him as a fisher/lobber, with the way that he plays

That return should still get you mostly backspin, no? I tend to think of lobs and fishes as having mostly topspin/sidespin. Philippe does have interesting style, though, not a classic chopper.
