Daniel J Pickleball Coach
Добавлен 20 июн 2017
Purveyor of pickleball tips, tactics, techniques, and mental game moments.
Husband, father, friend, pickleball coach, pickleball player, and mental game coach.
I grew up in an environment of education and sports. Coaching and teaching are in my blood! My parents also exposed my siblings and me to various sports, and I tried almost all of them and practiced often with my older brother.
My education is in sports and exercise science. I taught tennis as my career for nearly 20 years before I made the complete switch to pickleball.
I got involved in pickleball several years ago when some gentlemen from our athletic club introduced it to me. I immersed myself with studying and playing the game I had a newfound passion for. I played my first tournament, and I was completely hooked! From that time on, I've sought to combine my passion for teaching and coaching by learning all I can about the game and by sharing my insights with others.

Onix Durafast 40 pickleball review! Firm, FAST ball! What do you think? Do YOU like it?
Review of Onix Durafast 40 pickleball.
Firmness: 10/10
This is the firmest ball on the market that I am aware of. For this reason, some players love it while some hate it. It plays fast due to the firm plastic.
Out of Round: 6/10
This ball will get out of round fairly quickly. When hit hard, this ball will develop flat spots and will get misshapen.
Playability: 8/10
Even though the ball gets out of round at times, it still plays somewhat consistently. The flat or lumpy spots affect play on occasion, but not terribly often. Less so that the Vulcan VPRO Flight.
Breakage: 4/10
This ball will break fairly often. It is one of the least durable balls on the market. This wasn't always the case, as yea...

Selkirk Pro S1 pickleball review! How does it compare to other pickleballs? @SelkirkSport
Просмотров 252 часа назад
Selkirk Pro S1 pickleball review: I have played extensively with the Selkirk Pro S1 pickleball, and this is my honest review. Firmness: 8/10 This ball is fairly firm compared to other pickleballs. It plays pretty fast as a result. Out of round: 8/10 This ball will get slight flat spots and go slightly out of round when it gets hit hard. However, it seems to recover its original shape fairly qui...
NEW Vulcan VPRO Flight pickleball review! Big improvement!
Просмотров 844 часа назад
Vulcan VPRO FLIGHT pickleball review: I rated this ball in 5 different categories plus threw in the price for comparison's sake. To start, I'll say this ball is a big upgrade over the previous generation of Vulcan pickleball. The initial version was not a stellar ball by any means. It went out of round easily, had funny bounces, and didn't last very long. This ball easily surpassed that ball in...

Nice review DJ. I like that you added the price for 100 balls. Can you do a summary at the end with all the balls…and their respective scores? Can’t wait for the Oso Fury…and Durafast 40.
@@hansoeg will do!
In pro events I can see this because in gold matches, the silver is technically the loser of that match. In bronze matches, they are the winner of that match but did worse than the silver.
@sirpauldouglass exactly right! It's a matter of perspective.
Awesome, blossom tip to fix our errors!
@innermostbeing thanks! Happy to help.😃
Nike gp challenge pro is what you’re looking for, more durability and protection on the inside for the slides
Great intermediate drill!
@michaelchu94 thanks! It can be super intense and challenging at advanced levels as well.
You guys are much stronger than me, so a couple scenarios did not occur which I would like your feedback on. What happens if the person who feeds the ball fails to get it over the net or or into the kitchen. Just a do over or is it treated as a miss.
@richardwagner7499 great question. If someone should miss a feed, simply redo it. It is not a fault. This being said, try to concentrate on a good feed, one that is not an ace or too difficult for the opponent. The goal is to play a quality point, so it is important to start the rally well. Have fun and thank you for the question!
Nice drill. Will have to try this one. To often when drilling where speedups are allowed, folks go with the speed up prematurely. This game forces you to “pick your spots.”
@dmills7375 that's exactly right
Fire drill ❤❤❤

Average guy running to the ball nothin really fast about it
@giovannilibassi4545 video makes everything look slower. Dude is actually legit fast, although, I agree, he isn't the fastest in the game.
Hi
Great stuff. The sole shot I have been working on.
Excellent! Keep at it!

Wow, amazing accurate shot!!
I had a good ball feeder. It helps!
Tell us more about your custom orthotic insoles. . .
I got them from a local pedorthist (not quite the same thing as a podiatrist.)
Pretty biased review from a Selkirk ambassador. Selkirk is overrated and overpriced. Plenty of other options out there that are objectively better.
Sure, there are other good paddles out there. Better for me? No. Keep in mind, I never said I tried all paddles on the market. I am unapologetically a Selkirk player. So of course I use one of their paddles. I've found them to be a superior company in many ways. That's my take. It's ok if someone else has a different take.
So... Selkirk?
I mean, was it too obvious? 😂
Thanks for sharing !
My pleasure!
So I am newer to watching pickleball. Are there amateur brackets that run along side the pro tournament. Or are these the qualifier rounds to get to the pro tournament?
The qualifier rounds are what one plays to make it into the main draw. There are also many amateur level events that run at the same time.🙂
Hi Daniel, This is Bernadette Montgomery. I just wanted to tell you that I am still doing these arm stretches that you taught us at a clinic my husband and I took with you in Sanford, FL. Feb, 2021.
I have been trying this for a few weeks and it works. I hit way more out, in the net or get attacked than ever. Fantastic!
Great tips! How do you like that Vanguard?
It's good. A tad soft coming from the Power Air, but definitely a solid paddle.
Check out Crown pickleballs. Similar to the Vulcans . Use code PB15
What are the best pickleballs?
Honestly, I gave these a shot, and I didn't like them. They are fast, but they feel like marshmallow. But the worst part is they warp so quickly. My first ball warpped within 2 rounds ( not 2 games). The quality control also seems very lacking; there's air bubbles in every ball and the holes aren't cleanly cut. There's a lot of loose plastic on some holes. The characteristic is similar to selkirk pro s1, which actually last longers.
This new ball seems defective Bad bounces and out of round Must have paid the pickleball people alot of money
Yuk. One should not be able to so easily push in a recess on a ball. NOT good!
I press firmly. 🙂
Yes better than a Franklin (both suck) but not as good as a dura….bring back the dura!
Inclined to agree
@@danieljhoward002 ball feels heavy
It's an OK ball that isn't anything special whatsoever. It's very similar to a number of other balls such as CORE, Gearbox GB1, Vega 40, Crown, etc. Durability is just OK, so far I'm getting between 1.5 and 3 hrs out of each ball before small cracks start to appear near holes. And this is under optimal conditions as I've only used it indoors (true hard court surface).
Good thoughts
I commented on this ball to Vulcan about the "inked" logo n wears off in 2 games.. Then you have NO idea what brand it is!!?? It plays OK nothing special but they said they are correcting the Logo issue... At $4.50/$5.00 per ball I'd like to know what ball I'm pulling out of my bag.. Franklin is still #1 from my perspective... Haven't hit the new Selkirk yet...
It seems most balls have a logo that wears off quickly. Other than Franklin X, which has the X embedded into the ball itself. Will be interesting to see how they change the Vulcan logo.
Thanks for the review, albiet short tested. It was obvious that ball lost a lot of plastic during your short test cycle. Did any of them warp? I just returned a dz Pro S1's, as 2 of 3 warped within an hour of training this morning. I don't plan on playing on the PPA tour, so at 63, a new X40 works fine indoors on outdoor surface.
At that price, I rather just play the pro S1. The pro S1 spin a bit nicer imo
At $5.00 a ball, no thanks
It's a hefty price tag, no doubt.
TY
From a farm boy. When you put lead or tungsten tape on the paddles -- use a rubber band AROUND the paddle face to KNOW where to place the lead/tungsten tape so the tape is evenly applied. You can usually adjust to the logo on the face -- THEN start the tape at the rubber band and work down -------- THEN you have both sides the same. When you seat the tape or esp. the edgeguard use an old sock or clean rag to seat the tape firmly to the paddle. My lead tape from golfing is about 4 times heavier than the tungsten tape and much cheaper. Take care working with lead tape. JJ
How much weight did you put on the Omega Max?
Can't be unbiased wearing a Selkirk t-shirt
Looks good!
where to put the tape? how much to use? what areas to put on the paddle for speed, strength, finesse??
those don't look like blazepods.
