If the ball is on the backhand, I use pronation for the penetration, I add Topspin to keep the ball hooked down in the court so it don't sail out and I also add Slice Spin to keep the drive staying low down in the court. So I use Flat with Topspin mixed with Slice.. I do not always just use only topspin to drive the ball with. So I use a combination of two spins instead of using just one spin.. In all my years of playing matches with people I found driving the ball with just brushing it would sometimes drop the ball weak and short in the court if you don't always get good penetration and cause sitter balls, so I switched to driving the ball instead using pronation with the racquet's edge. If the ball is on the forehand, side then I usually use the reverse forehand to get more net clearance especially if the ball is difficult to reach and is low down in the court and you have to dig the ball out of the ground. Or I use the forehand slice drive. I could use the normal flat forehand, but the risk of dumping in down into the net or slamming it long out of the court and not getting enough tight spin on it or enough net clerance is a bit higher.. Trey has a big flat serve with a little bit of slice on it. Looking at the little curl in the finish on his serve his racquet finishes really low down by his feet but has a little bit of a curl with the racquet in it. But if he curled his finish a little more with the racquet in the finish he may be able to swing the ball alot more on his serve turn it into a big flat slider serve. Serve looks decent with the pace. It is penetrating through the court more.
Hi Trey, enjoy the channel. One tip I've got for you is to target the backhand more, a lot more, when you go against players with one-handed backhands. I'm talking 3/4 serves and 4/5 groundstrokes to that side until they prove it can hold up. A high, heavy forehand into that corner will do wonders for you. It's not glamorous and will be kind of boring, but it will get you wins. I'm a 4.5 and like just about everyone else in your comments, I'm jealous of your serve.
Comment on the lower UTR for Graham. See that sometimes with good players who also nice guys, which Graham seems like. Those players don't like to dominate other players, so somewhere mentally you can see them let players back in matches. It's not the only cause, but something I noticed in myself and started seeing it in other players. Just an observation, right or wrong.
I don't think it's inaccurate, to be honest. His backhand is problematic, timing and spacing aren't good enough for that complex-motion one hander. And his forehand, while big, sprays a lot. Mid-6 UTR is about right. But he's got the raw stuff to get significantly higher.
@@justchimaera9915 I tried going back through the video to see the backhand you were talking about and it took a while because he runs around it so much. lol He literally stands on the ad side every point to protect it. Easily exploited by a player his level or better. Hopefully he's working on it while in college.
Nice match. Never thought you'd pull up at my former hs lol. The courts look way better than I remember and the shaded benches are a nice touch. Btw, Connally hs courts have lights for night matches.
Love the return of the sunday sets. Did his forehands feel "heavy"? His balls with high net clearance looked like they had crazy amounts of spin relative to others you play against
Trey, you and I have been playing for around the same amount of time and would be a great match for your channel. If you're ever in Portland, hit me up!
Other dude could be ranked higher but he is just too inconsistent and make too many unforced errors. Plays a lot of spin which is difficult for me as well. Understand Treys frustration. Have to hit earlier on the rise against these guys
and what earth are they both doing in the first 2 games? They cant get their serve in. THe goal in the beginning is to make serves and not rely on topspin 2nd serve. No margin on both of their serves
‘That’s an older racket right?’ ‘Ya, it’s the 2023 model, very old in tennis terms’ 😂😂😂. Just unreal how the tennis industry has driven players to mental breakdowns if they don’t have the latest ‘months’ racket. The racket and string manufacturers have destroyed what was once a magical game. Best to you with your rackets. Remember in two months another 200 rackets are coming out. The tennis world is ‘one flew over the cocos nest’. No criticism to this channel best to you. It’s the equipment that has ruined real tennis.
No offense but that is really a D3 level tennis player? Super short shots, inconsistent, weak returns, low level of agression... Maybe he had a bad day or he's not playing that often now...
D3 is hundreds of college of many sizes and levels, not allowed to give athletic scholarships. There are many teams in D3 that anyone can walk on to - Austin College has 3.x UTR right now. Dominion University currently has an 8.7 UTR at 6 singles, so probably Graham used to be a bit better, and they used to be a bit worse
Video quality looks phenomenal, gopro was a good investment. Jealous of the serve as always, looking monstrous
"i like to rip forehands down the line even though my coaches say not to". I died

Are you a professional?
@aravjha9541 who me?
Graham is such a wholesome guy
Nice tweener I must say
10:08 "...he's toying with him now!"
Great playing guys 🔥
first game was wild. and 60 fps is a W
I’m digging his grip. You can tell he prefers the heavy spin shot with clearance. 4:51
Canadians are so nice that their UTR should actually be 2 pts higher. 😃
South Park are right about everything.
Wow, looks much better! Thank you for the content

Shoutout to the Canadians , didn’t think I’d see one featured in your Sunday sets
The true hero of this video is the grandma on the background! Way to go! Wish I will be out playing at this age and not switch to 🥒
Insane how much of a difference the camera angle makes. The first two games look moderate and then game 3 at 5:00 looks wayyyy faster.
Love the return of the sunday sets. Did his forehands feel "heavy"? His balls with high net clearance looked like they had crazy amounts of spin relative to others you play against
Trey your serve is nuts
Graham could go up a full UTR point if could get some depth on his backhand. Nice match !
Yeah, he switched to the one hander pretty recently so he's still developing it, even in the past six months it's improved a lot.
@@anthonytatu5932 why not stay 2 handed?
w graham
Yo Avery wassup
That game 6 was crispy out of Graham
60fps is crispy smooth.
i thought you guys would spend the entire video in the first game...
If Trey wants to take his game to a 7.5 to 8 utr, he has to improve his volleys a lot and have better a better technical backhand
Yo I know Graham
Trey, you and I have been playing for around the same amount of time and would be a great match for your channel. If you're ever in Portland, hit me up!
Dang bro UT nice
Which camera was which for the different angles that you had? The close vs the further & higher one.
6:55 apologizing for scoring is comedy
Great serving , too many unforced errors.

Interesting change of camera angle on a “ball out” call Trey! Kidding. 3:03
That was in! I wanted to show the winner, the other angle wasn’t wide enough
That's a really low level for playing 15 years. I'm surprised about the level in the US.
@@bavelco To be fair. People play on and off for years and plateau at a certain level. Not everyone wants to and capable of going pro!
he probably a 4.0 which is fine.

He is like very last on their team. That same team has a guy who would most likel my beat Trey 0 and 0 as

He said he’s a 6 utr which is like a mid 4.0 ntrp. My friend says you can make d3 as a 4.0. Depending on the school.
Ok I didn't know D3 college tennis was like that! Makes sense now
