Great drills.. thanks Tanner!

Great drilling session. Covers all the basics. Nice job boys.

Hey Tanner. Love your vids but I notice you’re foot faulting at the kitchen on some of your volleys…. Just sayin’

You're both amazing individual instructors. Getting a packaged lesson from both of you is our black Friday surprise. Good luck in your next tournament!

Loving this video, Tanner. Your educational content is my favorite online. For anyone watching this, I can attest to the power of these drills. The "Controlling the Kitchen Line" and "7-11" drills have been my go-to drills for over a year now. I have almost no prior racket sport experience (a tiny bit of casual ping pong as a kid) and I went from a 3.0 player in rec play to winning gold in 2 different men's 4.0 tournaments (with different partners each time). I've still got a long way to go, but I've seen insane improvement from these drills alone. As to how often one should drill, I believe it is far better to drill 20 minutes a day 5 days a week than it is to drill for 3 hours once a week. This concept came from my piano practice growing up. I don't have a lot of time to drill, but I got a small "half court" net and I can do dink drills in my basement for 30 minutes a day about 4 times a week. I'd like to implement the cross-court speedup and counter drill. I often find myself not being ready for that shot. My partner shouldn't have to worry about that location. I need to make sure they know I'm there to cover it.

Fun Video! Honored to be in a video with T.T

Love these drills, drilling in the morning and playing in the evenings sounds like a dream lool

just started playing this week and already learned so much from your videos! keep up the great work

Incredible video tanner thank you for providing this for us

Tanner, watch those toes! 8:15 , I got called out for the the exact same thing same drill. Good to remember.

Good is good advice!

Great advice guys thank you!

My first is in two weekends from now. Noy-vus indeed but I'm also pretty psyched

Thanks for the tip on the inserts!

Tanner, fabulous video-great execution of the fundamentals of the bomb 💣 serve.

My favorite shot to employ at a tournament is whisky. Added bonus: It works for rec play as well.

A fellow lefty. Let's gooooo

Great info

Great

Thanks

Thanks

Tanner is absolutely right. I learned to play pickleball from beginning and realized these points by his summery. Tanner was so true when I tried to another beginner who had been consistently hit balls in front or close to her feet late, ends up flicking her wrist and elbow to hit balls, not pushing the balls up and forward. I need to let her watch this clip and correct her dinks. Thank you, Tanner! Keep doing these short videos which has great impact on my playing pickleballs.

Great video Tanner! Loads of really useful tips to improve my game. Can you do a quick one on how to return high deep serves for us oldies?

Bro is calling out Travis Rettenmier 😂

On resets in the transition zone, when do you "shade" or sit on you BH for resets vs a FH. Whenever I sit on BH, if the opponent hits to my FH side I can't react fast enough.

Great advice man il definitely do next time someone doesn’t get the ball back after iv hit a one handed backhand Also I don’t step in after iv served. Also advice for other players stop standing around and waiting for the ball start taking it from the air not off the bounce so much Also if your up at the kitchen line don’t be afraid to step into it And take the ball after it bounces. Also if someone forehand is better there your backhand let them take it. And also have good communication I can’t say that enough bad communication makes the game worse.

What a game changer for me! Thanks, Tanner

Damon was so good at asking questions!

ATP is going to be rough on that court hahaha.

Hey Tanner watched one of your singles matches in Arizona, really enjoyed it. I was fortunate to win Silver w my partner in Men's 4.5, 50+. What a great experience! I will try your serve recommendations as appears to really make sense. As to Ping-Pong, I rarely ever lose so would be awesome to have a friendly game some day. See you in S FL tournaments!

I swear it’s like you read my mind. This is the shot I’ve struggled with the most.

provided your partner even comes to the net! i play with some tennis players who play the entire game from the back line or transition zone. everything is played banger style, so annoying.

I have that back step problem 😂

A pickleball court in an office? Do you know how I can apply for a job there?

Your video is cool!! I wish u had an actual demo after those instructions at the start.. helps me to visualise better as a beginner. The 3 shots demo were great! Thank u!

Ty so much for this. One last question. Sometimes when i use back hand the ball tends to roll off out of bounds sometimes. Sometimes when i try slice the ball just cuts backward. Id love soke advice on this. And sometimes when I use back hand flick at kitchen it rolls off as well. Ty.

🙌 🐐

Love it, Tanner. The bonus tip is finishing with the paddle in front of you. Because the ball always comes back....

Something new I learn today

Nice play.

Those overhand smashes were super slow. Most of the time I have to defend an overhand smash its coming like a bullet. Sometimes I actually run up to the kitchen line and make myself big. It catches them by surprise and they try to hit around me, messing up their rhythm.

Players not coming in, or coming in far too slowly when they can come to the NVZ is a big weakness I see in 3.0-3.5 and even higher players. If you hit a return and saunter in so they have acres of room to hit a 3rd shot mid court at your feet then you are just completely giving away the returner advantage immediately.

Generally good advice. I feel sometimes if you or your partner has hit a slightly shorter return and the opponent plays a really good 3rd shot low over the net then the option to hit it deep to them is gone because they have potentially got far enough in to prevent that. So in some cases you maybe have to 4th shot dink/reset yourself and just concede that they hit a really good 3rd and go from there.
