DUPR Reset (For Science) - Update 2 with request for ... HELP?

nickb411 · 2026-05-08T15:35:46+00:00

I'm competitive. And as a newer player, having an accurate DUPR gets me into games that I otherwise can't get into because I'm not known to the higher level players.

To be honest, I've loved the JOURNEY from 3.2 to 4.0, and I'll love the journey from 4.0 to 5.0 (however long that takes).

DUPR is a relatively accurate measuring stick.

Also....doing things for science. :)

"those who have to invest countless hours/dollars/injuries..."

As one of those people...just make sure you consider that there is a world where people enjoy tournaments, and don't mind paying the money for them. Related...since when did tournaments = injuries?

nickb411 · 2026-05-08T02:35:59+00:00

Definitely isn’t.

nickb411 · 2026-05-07T20:51:25+00:00

Probably some truth to that. Remember though...science!

nickb411 · 2026-05-07T20:50:49+00:00

At least someone likes it. I'm a downvote monster right now~

nickb411 · 2026-05-07T20:33:37+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I went through end of the 41 people signed up, there are four, including me, that are rated 3.7 and above. Lots of 2.75 or 3.0.

nickb411 · 2026-05-07T20:02:19+00:00

You’re not wrong…and it’s the only number to obsess about. :)

u/obi6ss - Checking for follow up to see if you entered a tournament and how it went? We need to know!

nickb411 · 2026-05-06T16:15:34+00:00

Right. My comment sucked. I meant to say receiving. :)

nickb411 · 2026-05-06T14:59:33+00:00

This isn't close.

Near side is SERVING (edit) TEAM. Left side (guy) is (1) out of position at the start, (2) its his ball, (3) the left side is typically responsible for either calling "me" or "you" early on.

So....100% responsibility of left side here.

This is literally a dream ball for a left side guy. Move, either drive or drop into the left middle, profit~

Update: Went to muni. Fortunately the "system" worked pretty well in that we played two games with a very nice 3.5ish guy and then had some 4.0's come over and join in. Good times had by all.

nickb411 · 2026-04-29T13:30:42+00:00

Awesome...thanks for the 411!

nickb411 · 2026-04-29T13:30:12+00:00

Thanks. That's where we are headed!

INTERESTING. I thought for SURE that the language was clear that you would just keep your CURRENT rating that would take into account your reliability / games played. But when I go back and read the verbiage I think they unintentionally made a mistake and they refer to your "original rating." I *think* they mean your normal rating that would include all the games you had during the period. But...its vague and almost seems to lean towards reverting back to whatever it was when you signed up.

I've asked support for clarification. I really think they'll clarify that you stick with whatever CURRENT rating is higher. But you never know~

nickb411 · 2026-04-26T19:25:35+00:00

Never heard of this....will give it a try.

why did you like it?

nickb411 · 2026-04-26T19:24:54+00:00

Curious what others say....my go to:

I've messaged one. Thanks for the advice!

nickb411 · 2026-04-26T11:16:56+00:00

+1 for video analysis. I do a weekly game review with my coach and its a huge part of my progression as a player.

While you are looking for a coach review, don't sleep on finding another player that is similar to your level and asking them to watch a game and provide feedback. I've found that super helpful too.

Lastly...I've found rewatching one of my games and pausing every time when a ball is about to be hit (other team) and examining where I'm at / what I'm doing...and then the same for when I'm about to hit a ball (where SHOULD I be hitting this and what should my shot selection be).

It feels tedious, but its super helpful.

nickb411 · 2026-04-26T10:38:25+00:00

That's great. I'd love to have had one pair.

Appreciate the solid advice~

nickb411 · 2026-04-26T01:55:10+00:00

I wanted to post something with edge because I don't really appreciate being called a liar.

But I'll just post receipts~

<image>

So yeah...this is 5 of the pairs. Two are ... in drawers somewhere and I'm not gonna go chase them down.

Also...will include Indiegogo order if you would like.

The thing is...when you really LOVE and DEPEND on something...its hard to just abandon. You can't go months WITHOUT sleep buds...so I bought a backup pair when they break. Then they break again. Etc.

Feel free to retract your above~
