How many unforced errors is too much for an intermediate player?

223 commentsu/21frodo4w ago
I keep having some troubles with unforced errors. I'm not sure when to push or when to keep building the pressure on the rivals, and end up doing lots of mistakes because of this. These are stats for my last 3 matches and 53 unforced errors seems too much. https://preview.redd.it/7ql2f6kt8b2h1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c9265762d9d78ce1cfdaa68234f501a3f9b2e38 ​ Edit: some context. I started playing like 6 months ago, left handed. I’m a level 2 on Playtomic. I usually play with same level or lower levels. I also go to some public classes in Madrid. Here’s is where I realize I usually make more unforced errors than the other players, most of them trying to attack and push to the net. While playing, I either make a great point or fumble terribly, no middle ground there. As I usually play with lower levels, there are more spaces to attack but I don’t seem to get consistent on those attacks

How did you get those stats?

I'm getting tired of all these hidden advertisement posts of AI apps.. there is a megathread where you can share it.

Context would be important. Nevertheless, 53 Unforced Errors seems scandalous. To put that into perspective, assuming you are playing Golden Point, that's more than 13 games given away in Unf. Errors.

Updated. 53 is between 3 matches. Not a single match.

And your partner made 67?? That's 30 games in unforced errors in both of you put together...5 sets..... I don't know how many errors is too much, but it's not even in this ballpark

That would be the worst padel match ever. These are my last 3 matches

I guess tapping on you watch after each point to feed your stats app kind of destroys your focus during the match --> more errors

But the reason I’m using it is because I wanted to know how many errors I was making. I wish it was that alone 😂

I probably make more than I remember but 53 in 3 games still feels high. I'd like to think mine are in the 5-10 range (per game)

The definition of an unforced error is always an issue to this kind of apps. Except of double fault in service, everything else can be called unforced error or forced error based on the player's level. The same shot returned equally badly by me and by a player at a higher level can be a forced error for me and an unforced for someone better...

Stats are quite meaningless without context.

I wouldn’t necessarily trust those stats, but assuming they’re true you’re barely positive in your winner to unforced error ratio. That’s really not good enough, in a balanced game where your rivals are equal level I’d like to see 2 winners per unforced error, let’s say. That’s a 70% effectiveness rate which sounds reasonable.  So just looking at these numbers in isolation you need to go for a lot less. Maybe pick your favourite stroke and take your risks on that one so it develops. Play everything else reasonably for a while.

Thanks for the advice! The stats are taken after each point manually so I guess they make sense, and I can tell you I make a lot of mistakes 😂. But I will try to try to slow down on the most of the shots and try to gain some consistency

Fair enough. Again if you enjoy playing aggressively, nothing wrong with that. But be aggressive with one aspect at a time. Smash on short balls, dominant volley, passing shots from the back, rulo to the fence...plenty to choose from, but choose just one.
