@@tenniswithaz the slow slices lulls you into a slow pace then anything he hits with even moderate pace feels really fast.

@@alvaroishere Haha yeah he probably wasn’t aware about it. He’ll probably be more careful next time after he sees the video

@@DSK-jw5sj I hang it on one of the upper links of the chain-link fence.

Learn the metric system

@@TennisBottler Yeah he hits both serves pretty high percentage with spin.

@@vika0194 Haha I wish it’s every day but not quite. More like 3-4 times a week.

@@onlyfedrawr Head Gravity Pro 2023 with RPM Blast 16 strung at 36lbs (ง’̀-‘́)ง

@@3.5netrushtennis 36lbs, dang bro, i thought my 41lbs was getting pretty low already

@ Mannarino regularly strings below 20lbs on an even more open string pattern.

@@iggyman783 Recording, keeping track of scores, line call challenging and cutting out the dead time from the videos all with SwingVision.

No choice need to take bigger risks and learn to hit harder otherwise cannot beat the Rovo 4.0++

@@SeireaTennis thanks! I’ve enjoyed watching your fun videos too 👍🏻

@@Kingdeltennis Cool, let me know if you visit Singapore, I’ll make the arrangements for a court 👍🏻

@@MTechnikM (👍≖‿‿≖)👍

sarcasm i assume? it looks like super mario jumping LOL. i've seen a lot of weird unorthodox strokes but this is a first.

@@adamh7947 For citizens it’s SG$10/h for off peak timings and $18/h for peak timings. Kinda expensive relative to the other options in Singapore, but really cheap compared to the rest of the world I believe.

@ Hi thanks for writing back. That is incredibly inexpensive compared to the United States. Just as a contrast, in New York State indoor court time is about $60 an hour! There is even a place place down the road, which is very popular, that charges $90 an hour. I would love to be able to pay the rate you are paying. Thanks for uploading your videos.

@@dihgames8339 SwingVision. It also cuts out all the dead time between points for the video. Great app.

it says on the bottom right. Swingvision 👍

@@HarunFarah Suno. There’s an app and website. The comment is in “3.5 Net rusher Ray - A case study in Winning Ugly (Highlights)”

@@turbulenttennis What I lack in tennis beauty I try to make up with creativity. Just kidding. I just copy pasted the text into an AI and the AI is the one which is creative.

😂🎉 Love the music

Music is awesome . How exactly did you do it ?

@ it’s an app/website called Suno for creating AI music.

I’ve been losing to him for over a year. Great milestone marker to judge my improvement against. Hopefully I can really start beating him regularly at some point.

@@brianbarkowski1910 This video was posted 3 weeks ago and still getting views and comments. It’s becoming one of my most watched videos. Maybe I should be posting more of these boring ones to differentiate from all the exciting channels out there 😅

@@DonYang73 Bro I’m in my mid 40’s. Plateauing and not getting worse, and being able to play injury free, is a luxury. I just wanna have fun and exercise man. 😎

@@3.5netrushtennis fully understandable Ray and I know exactly what you are talking about, i myself, am in my 50s. 😎. It takes a lot out of me when playing guys 15-20 yrs younger. but I have been watching many of your videos and just believe that you can improve so much more in terms of technique and power. good luck, hope to play one day.

While I agree with DonYang73 on most of what he said, it is notable he mentioned pace and power, and control. If I had to choose between pace/power (same thing mentioned 2x? so i surmise that's what he is urging) and control, definitely control is more important and less taxing on the body (having read what you said about your age). Another often overlooked aspect is movement, which all of us should add. Once you have control and movement, everything is easier, and it is up to you to add power or not. Also, the narrative about what constitutes 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, beyond etc is really arbitrary and sometimes laughable, especially having watched so many players. There are 4.something players out there who feel they hit hard and hit aesthetically but cannot beat beginner players who lack pace, just slice and dice and lobs aka pushers. In these cases, wouldn't we say these 4.something players are way overrated or maybe they are only capable of handling certain styles of play. After all, tennis about winning and not a beauty contest. (Otherwise, there would be bonus points for tennis clothing.) In fact, I would go as far as to say such 4.something players who cannot beat pusher players are at best 3.something if not worse, since they cannot handle this supposedly inferior/beginner level of players. In short, my suggestion is to work on movement and control and have the ability to handle all types of game styles (like how you did here) because a player who can only handle one type of opponent is basically an inflexible sitting duck and is objectively just a rung above beginners despite looking much better.

@@leisurefarm Agreed. There are different circles of players too. Some are only interested in rallying, and their skills and self rating reflect that. Their “4.0” may be only referring to the ground strokes, disregarding the serve or any match play intelligence. But it serves them well since they will find other 4.0 groundstrokers to rally with in the apps. I understand where they are coming from. If they put “3.5” to reflect their match play, then they may have disappointing rallying sessions. Same with those who only play doubles. Or females who only play with other females. Or the older folks. UTR is supposed to be the great equalizer so that any age and any sex can pay evenly with each other, but then ego comes into play. So we end up preferring a higher rating in our smaller circle than a lower rating in an expanded circle. Regarding styles, there’s the issue of matchups. The godlike fitness, build and power of Safin had losing record against the tricky wizard Santoro. My fav examples always.

@ yes i am talking about controlled pace/power. Not crazy ripping. Problem is that many 3.0 -3.5 players cannot add power with control and consistency. So they end up babying and playing “touch” tennis.

@@mawan9947 thanks! I don’t rally much, mostly just match play. I also don’t use Rovo much. But it’s “Ray 🐤” on Rovo and “Ray Lim (3.8)” on Reclub.
