I'm not so good myself: I lose to most guys on the 3.0, but I'd probably beat most of these guys. There is a huge disparity in NTRP self-assessments. I see clips on youtube of guys hitting at solid 3.0-3.5 claiming to be 2.5, whereas many asian (Thailand, I think) guys about the same level are said to be 4.0-5.0. Is there a confusion between asian rating and USTA rating systems?
@noobsdumb I don't know. None of them have a 3.5 serve. Look at the guy in plaid shorts: completely girly. The fat guy's serve is downright comical. The guy in green shirt has a 2.0 forehand.
