Can you rate them? [ ~Video~ ]

 Hello everyone, this is a video of our coach in blue, and a good person who works in our university. What do you think of their level? technique and what would their rating be?

1625

Most likely 1750 or so at high end...

Your coach can barely move and has a hard time controlling his serves and his serve return. He is always out of position and as a result, always reaching for his shots.

The guy in black is a little bit better. He can at least control his serves. Not much better with his serve return.

It is very hard to gauge someones rating or level especially when they know each other's game. However, if they are higher rated, you will see more looping and counter looping duel. In this case, you see a lot of loose serves and serve returns, followed by weak loops and weak blocks.

I see this level everyday in my old club. They are usually around 1200 to 1600.

1200 i think is too low.  i think they get plus points for the high toss serves. :)  minus points for familiarity with each other.

there was not much short game or finesse shots or variety in serves and playing distance though, so that would put the upper limit at 1800 i think.

Problems looping underspin and inconsistent 3rd ball. Poor service returns. No footwork. No strategy. Lack of overall control - like no slow spin, no touch shots, inability to counter. The list is quite long. I think anywhere around 1400-1500 would be my best guess.

USATT 1700 for Texas or Baltimore seems in the neighborhood. These guys would be div 4 in my city and div 5 in Seoul.

With all due repeat, (I know it is hard to tell via video) if my coach had played like your coach, I would have changed my coach next session. Are you sure they passed their tt coach exam?

Guys, are you joking. These two players are ~ 1900 RC, which means more than 2000 USATT.

This is valid for professionals, i.e., for players above 2400 RC.

Definitely more than 1800 USATT. I would say about 1900 USATT +/-100 points.
I've some 1500-1700 rated players on videos. These guys, especially the black one is way better..

well, from my point of view, in usa people play different TT. Different attitude. I dare to call it pussy TT.
Here, we dont try to look like somebody else. We just play whatever works for us. it is hard to judge anything from videos. By look, I may look great with somebody who suits me or who let me play my game. I may look retarded with someone better who pushes me into situations I dont like or I cannot handle.
The girl is nice example. She looks awsome, but she was allowed to play exactly what she was trained for. Such video only tell us that she practices modern fast attack style close to the table.

This video posted by sallom is poorly rated because they dont look like pros and they dont move like them. I dont judge players by how they look, how they swing. Those guys seem to be confident in what they are doing (despite the many errors they made) and they didnt pretend anything. I dont think they are weak. If you want some numbers, I would guess 2000-2100 points of so called usatt rating.

I dont understand the tactics of the guy playing the little girl. It looks like a tournament, but he keeps serving long straight backspin to her FH. Even when lobbing he was nice and kept it head height for her. Some higher lobs would really ruin her day . As would a really short serve.

The two guys are quite a bit smarter, yes they were serving long sometimes, but at least it seemed a bit more planned, and they usually aimed at the BH, which is not too bad an idea depending on the situation. Im reasonably sure those two could beat the little girl. Those two guys, esp the blue guy had that solid shots feel, which usually means they are quite good.

And that little girl really needs to stop that ridiculous choing.
