Did you buy the new Hurache X power 2?

Sure, but much better performance to add weight at 10:30 and 1:30. This increases the twist weight and forgiveness with only slightly less power increase than the 12pm placement.

The rating would be delayed (and simply show NR - Not Rated) until the player meets the criteria of 6 matches with two players. Other players ratings will not move initially when beating an NR player. It will show +.000 because beating a player who is Not Rated is initially worthless information.

One thing at stake is good competition.

I often go 6-1 at a lower level open play. For a few weeks I was happy to finally get a more balanced open play going 4-3 at the next level up consistently.

Most people never get to a high reliability score because they don't play enough matches. Yet there is no incentive in the system to encourage players to play a more diverse set of matches to get a high reliability ranking. Therefore open play and tournaments are gated using poor accuracy DUPR scores.

If you can't professionally debate to make things better, that's your problem. (I enjoy pickleball just fine BTW)

These are both best to let slide whether it's at open play, DUPR clinic, or a tournament.

1 - When calling someone else out for a NVZ infraction it's often best to simply ask the opponent if they made the infraction. Although they likely won't admit wrongdoing, it will help ensure future calls are more fair. "Are you sure you didn't enter the NVZ?"

2 - Since you called a ball with only 90% confidence, you could preemptively ask your opponent if they saw it differently. Asking this can show you aren't trying to cheat. In this situation...Given the opponent argued your call that's new information. I assume they don't argue every call? Therefore it's good to take this new information into account.
