What playtomic level is this competitive match?

Thanks mate, I appreciate you

I don’t get why you have to be passively rude? You not been taught how to play team sports?

Helps finding appropriate games, same as for every other level.

my recent doubles partner is fucking obsessed with it, granted he's not a "starter" anymore. But holy shit it pisses me off hearing him say "we can take them, their rating is X and Y" or the likes

I was just curious tbh!

Maybe interested to see how it differs per country?

a rating system which low rank people are utterly obsessed with is how playtomic makes money

I’ve had 66 matches im just curious where people thought I stand. Apparently that means I’m obsessed, I’m so sorry to have triggered you!

Yeahh fair!

Fair enough!

That’s just not true though. 0.5 is literally the lowest rating. There are plenty of people worse than this

Technique is important but imo coordination and footwork comes first.

I’m trying mate. I am switching over from badminton hence the technique is unorthodox.

Fair enough

It literally wouldn’t be 0.5 though. That’s the lowest score. There are plenty people who can barely hit the ball over the net let alone after it hits the back glass. The other thing to remember is that everyone looks a lot shitter on camera than they think. I guarantee if you film yourself you’d be surprised

Where do you play (approximately)

Can we play?

I’ve played 66 games

Thank you so much for the specific insight. This is exactly what I wanted. You’re IT

boy does this thread have news for you

Can we play?

That’s good I guess? Do you just think about defeat and victory lol

Yeah, good old playtomic classification that only works on countries where padel is not really a thing. If you get yourself to the rating that the app gives you after answering the questionnaire, get ready to get smashed down like 2 points below that over your first couple of games.

According to this chart it's clearly a 1.0

I was trying to play at a softer pace as my partner was new to the game. I talked him through the tactics at the start of the game. He picked it up quite quickly but you can see the returns were quite weak from my partner on their serves which led to a lot of points loss. Especially when trying to build up the rallies it’s essential to start with a deep / confusing shot to open the other pair, my partner was new so was stil figuring this out. There was also times when he would want to push forward but you’re not meant to do that when defending tbh it’s too risky I had played a match right before this (back to back bookings has its downsides I guess). Our opponents were on paper stronger than us but we held our own quite well in fairness. The scores were 1-6 (to them), 6-1 (to us), and 5-5 (when the booking ran out lol). I reckon based on aggression and intensity we would’ve had them in the 2 clear sets😭

Lol thank you!!!

Thanks’! I honestly don’t care about rank I was merely curious :) wanted to learn from others insights as padel is an international sport If I win / lose go down in my rankings or go up I don’t care

I am and will continue to work on my positioning c racket preparation and ball height sir. Thanks for the advice though

What’s p1000? Well you’ll have to dispute that with the coach from my venue I guess bro x

Most generous person I’ve seen on here! Thanks😂

Thanks mate, I’ll work on that. What’s your level like ?

Interesting insight. I understand, thank you!

Noted!

I was curious how levels differ in countries mate, thanks for clarifying btw

Having played in 4+ countries so far, I can see it’s not universal so ya

Oddly specific🤣🤣

Interesting

Thanks for the kind words and I’ll take on board what you say. It’s true, I don’t want to get fixated on my level. I was more curious what people internationally thought this level lies at As I’ve played in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Lithuania, Pakistan & England. But even then the levels vary so much (I’ve attributed it to due to players either playing down from their level and winning matches, or a different standard of play in their region, or they’ve taken that self assessment at the start and winged it from then🤣 any other reasons I’m missing?)

Someone with insight ❤️

This is what I was looking for, thanks mate!

Which country do you play in?:)

😁😁😁👌🏽bingo

Just proves padel has its fair share of people who don’t even have the community mentality which padel exudes. I posted this video for discussion and comments, not for people to be like “oh no way you’re not that level”. I’m not an insecure person so I’m not disheartened but it’s a little disappointing to hear the fellow padel community be like this to other players. Hope I never come across them on the court, it’s a shame to the game.

Thanks

I will get coaching soon. It’s too expensive in the my country.

First I wanted to have some fun self learning. I wanted to see where I can get without a coach. Now it’s time to bring one in and hone in my technique.

Where does that link take me?

Playtomic rating guidelines are for the most part pretty misleading, if going by those I'm probably around a 4, in reality I'm a probably around 2.8-3. Like others have said don't worry about your rating until you've had some coaching and really got the basics under control otherwise you'll plateau at a level 1-2 forever as you'll be playing with bad habbits. Where your rating matters is when you feel you've outgrown your rating because you're technique is on point and you're no longer feeling challenged playing matches at your level, at which point you can take a leveling session to immediately have it upgraded or try to join some higher level games if there is no restriction. I spent the past 5 months coaching 3-6 times a month, played around 25 matches and probably 10 events/competitions and in the last month or so I started to out grow the low 2's I was playing with and wasn't able to really challenge myself and improve with games, I took a leveling session and was rated a 3, and have played 1 game with 3.5's and the level is so much better which should help me to improve even further.

Explain how it’s masochism in your own words kind stranger?

Did your jaw break bro?

Nice!

Fairs. But 0.5-0.7 on playtomic means you struggle to get the ball over but that’s not true, unless you’re watching some different video bro

Yeah no you weren’t. You’re doing the most basic stuff wrong.

That’s nowhere near 1,8 in my country. More like 0,8. There’s no technique, low preparation/activity.
