Hey PB, great video. This is one I come back to every now and then as to remind myself of helpful tips I may have forgotten as time goes on. I am curious if you are still hitting primarily flat drops or are you hitting with more spin these days? Been trying to reinvent my drops as well.. Thanks!

Great video, really puts things into perspective. Just lost in a recent tournament and took a beating but thats just letting me know where I stand and that I need to drill more.

Badminton players are hard to beat. They move so well on the court and have combination of soft game, hard slams, and deep lobs.

4:50 Softening ur wrist reduces the staibility of your paddle i.e. reduces sweet spot in exchange for dwell time of the ball on ur paddle. The sensation comes from the micromovement of ur paddle when the ball comes in contact with it. This helps with controlling ur own power and accuracy for precision shots (and even deception i.e. hesitation dink). This is in contrast to non-precision shots like counters where sweet spot is more valuable because it's difficult to ensure the ball hits the middle of the paddle, so we stiffen up ur wrist to increase the stability of the paddle increasing ur sweet spot and decreasing dwell time

what's the best technique to drop high enough to get over net safely, but "not too high?" THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS. OUTSTANDING

1:18 #1 Think about catching and throwing instead of hitting (limit backswing) 2:11 #2 Contact ball in front of you instead of beside or behind 2:44 #3 Imagine a ceiling extending above the net and don't let followthrough go above that ceiling 4:02 #4 Try practicing with pickleball under armpit to limit backswing and followthrough 4:39 #5 Try softening your grip 5:11 #6 Try practicing with off hand finger on paddle to help limit paddle motion 6:25 #7 Keep your chest level during dink (don't lift your chest up when dinking) 7:05 #8 Try to draw a line with your paddle where you want the ball to go 7:44 #9 Try to crab walk/shuffle step when dinking to help stay balanced 8:42 #10 For small steps, plant one foot and side step to dink 9:18 #11 Try to create a pause before every time you hit the ball when dinking 10:17 #12 Try slice/underspin on dinks 11:19 #13 Try to dink the ball out of the air whenever possible 11:59 #14 Try topspin dinks (while maintaining good form) 13:19 #15 When returning aggressive cross court dinks, try resetting the dinks to middle of the court to get back on balance 14:04 #16 Try to hit more aggressive dinks when you can (i.e. dinks that are deeper with a flatter trajectory to get your opponent off balance) 14:57 #17 Only dink crosscourt if the ball is at or inside your outside foot. If the ball is outside of your outside foot just reset to the middle or in front of yourself in order to not attempt a difficult cross court shot. 17:22 #18 When resetting the ball, try to hit the ball shorter into the kitchen to force your opponent to hit up on the ball 18:22 #19 Mix up the target of your dinks, changing crosscourt/down the line and forehand/backhand. 19:39 #20 Attack your opponent’s weaknesses (e.g. if they have a weak backhand, target their backhand).

I honestly think these are the best pickleball tutorial videos. The reason is that you are condescending everyone’s tips and tricks into one package. So instead of watching all the individual videos, it’s all right here.

I i know its 10 months late but you are hutting more of a flick than a roll which is still a good shot just not quite the same. On the roll its more about turning your wrist via your forearm and on the flick its the classic of throwing a frisbee. But yea on the roll your wrist is kinda along for the ride similar to a forehand drive just in completely different ways

Love it! However, I avoid tweeners as much as possible. It takes 2 extra steps and takes you longer to get back in the point.

For me it was on my forehand drop that even if i roll up the back i have to still hit through my drop. Instantly fixed

1:18 #1 Make contact will ball when it's falling 2:03 #2 Stay further back after serving 3:03 #3 Use small compact strokes 3:35 #4 Hit ball like you are tossing the ball 4:19 #5 Keep contact point in front of you 5:13 #6 Try just pushing the ball 6:24 #7 Try to keep apex of flight path on your side of the court 7:08 #8 Try slowing down your swing and gradually speeding it up to the correct speed. 8:15 #9 Don't use your wrist in the drop shot 9:00 #10 Try to get apex of flight path in your own kitchen so ball is falling over the net 10:28 #11 Try to keep overall arc of the shot low 11:29 #12 It's better for the ball to be low with a longer trajectory than too high with a shorter trajectory 12:07 #13 Adjust your grip tightness to what gives you the best results 12:56 #14 Get to the spot you are going to hit from and pause there for a moment before hitting 13:44 #15 Don't lift your chest up when hitting the drop shot 14:03 #16 After becoming consistent with your drops, try windshield wiper motion to add topspin 15:06 #17 Use a small compact swing 15:16 #18 Get your feet in place to hit the drop shot 15:56 #19 Angle your wrist to aim your drop shot 16:55 #20 Visualize the drops

You are by far the best tuber for pickleball. Thanks

This was super interesting, thank you

Iced out meaning you get cold because you're not getting involved in the game?

Where more pickleburner videos?

SURPRISE - I think most players, don’t realize this (maybe I’m wrong -we’ll see) but, surprisingly to me at leaset, in all the top player matches `i have watched and counted shots - the fact is, that provided the players are more or less at the same level in the same level, MORE THAN 50% OF THE POINTS ARE WON AS A RESULT OF A MISTAKE - AN ERROR. Where I see an. Obvios forced error, or a clear winner they go down as WINNERS in my little book. If I’m not sure, then I dont count the rally at all, OR I go bk and watch it, 2-3 times, and make a decision, or decide that one doesn’t get scored. I’ve watched dozens of pro-SINGLES matches, and it’s the same with these guys as it is with ordinary club players - it’s MORE than 50% mistakes - as high as 2/3 sometimes. I will watch another 10-20 games just to be sure, but, never once have I seen a match where the number of winners exceeeds the number of loosing shots - unless of course a player is having a real easy match- then clearly winners are by far the majority. AM I MISSING SOMETHING? Try it for yourself. Makes me want to play differently. Chris

Is there a part 2 because this clip is not that informative?

Why compete with the annoying background music track? Have faith in the substance of your content.

Phuc plays in the ppa main draw in singles and is a 6.2. Dudes legit

#20 Zen pickleball

How come we haven’t see any new content recently?! We need more great content! Thank you!

Good Stuff.

Ball machine

Simple clean info.

Switching to a reverse eastern only works if they speedup to your backhand or body right? But what if they go to your forehand?

Thumbnail makes it feel like I’m on acid

Great advice!!!

Yo where is bro

Gimme some drive tips!

I love this video. I wish i could get more 4.5 players to play with me. 😂

Good compilation 😊

Excellent; keep up the instructional videos. Very well received.. Thank you

More meta videos like this please

Great Vid thanks!!

I find softing my grip allows the paddle to shift in my hand. Making the ball die of go off in the direction the paddle moved. Thoughts or recommendations on this. I imagine theres a sweet spot.

This vid feels so clickbaity. getting to 5.0 takes a long time, there isn't a cheat code. Sure, if I had a private coach and trained almost every day of the week I could be 5.0 in 6 months or a year, but almost no person has the time and resources

Where did you go? 2 months is too long. I looked forward to your videos

Awesome tips. Thanks so much for putting this together. Now...just gotta go try 'em. :)

Request - can you work on volume modulation. Some of your example/lesson clips are VERY muted so we have to turn the volume way up, and when the video swItches back to you narrating it's suddenly LOUD, and we have to run over and turn the volume back down. Thank You

Helpful tips. Thanks for posting.

what if it's a righty and lefty duo, both corners will be forehand dinks

The amount of time you save me by doing your research is a godsend. I love your videos! You have a keen analytical mind. You might have the best pickleball videos on the internet. Professional lessons are expensive and to have this type of information really makes a huge difference in my game. Thanks so much for your content!

I don't understand what "stick" means.

Aahhh, I love your answer 😂

If there is no tennis i still didnt watch this non sense thing

How is a cross court dink more comfortable for most players? Personally, I feel my straight ahead dinking is much stronger and more aggressive than most of my cross court dinks.

Sweet - helped push some discussions with people in my league it felt really awkward playing with due to inconsistency on taking balls. I have a difficult time with people that don't slide out of the way to give me space to hit my 3rds, dinks - often shorten my swing and make errors to avoid hitting them.

As the others have stated, good stuff, Tony! Very instructive.
