    I love this podcast. Inviting guest on with questionable past, i wish you could keep it between you guys. With a few of those allegations I can't support this guest... Juat disappointing that he's so widely accepted now especially coaching young women. Stay vigilant out there.

    Where to attack/instigate on a player that holds the paddle like a frying pan. They have right shoulder covered.

    Glad you see it as a left-handed forehand. Dayne was trying to convince people it was more right hand.

    I have been playing and studying the evolution of the game for seven years and still have no idea which shot you are referring to in this episode. Please provide at least a description for your audience or better yet post a video of this shot being made by the pros. This particular episode is simply not worth the listen without this information.

    You said a lot about the shot but never really described the shot or mentioned why to use it. This was the first of your podcasts that was not helpful...

    • @HB1840
      @HB1840 Месяц назад

      Minor point but you also keep calling it four point oh. Or to use point oh for discount code. It's actually four point zero.

    Is this Eastern changed just at the kitchen? I always wondered how much Pros changed grips during play. Seems like Ben Johns has to be somewhat Western to scoop his backhand dink. Maybe you have already covered that?

  • @imperabo
    @imperabo 2 месяца назад

    I used Eastern backhand at the kitchen early on before I realized I needed to commit to one grip. It is indeed extremely powerful for counters, especially on high balls. I think sitting on this grip could work for a right side player paired with an alpha left side partner who allows you to shift and sit backhand. It's actually strong on all high balls, not just back hands, as you can counter paddle side shoulder with it similar to the scorpion/stop sign/pancake. It's the same grip as full western forehand flipped over, so you can potentially hit forehands with it, but much harder on lower balls. You can potentially hit very sharp angle forehand cross court dinks with it. Ben Johns actually moves his grip almost to this for some of the crazy angle dinks he does. But I would probably try to grip shift for most dinks, and hit 2 handers for the middle dinks. I can actually see this being the future for some right side specialists.

    Hey guys love your podcast. ❤ I’m a 3.7 but aspire to 4.0 and beyond. If you have ideas on how best to drill with your ball machine that would be helpful. A friend of mine has the Slinger ball machine , he sets up cheap plastic clothes baskets with towels inside at kitchen area, as he practices 3rd shot drops. I thought great idea 💡 so more things like that 😎👍🏼

    Definite growing pains. While it is fun to see so many new people enjoying pickleball, when huge money gets involved it tends to corrupt things.

    Always a great poddy! imo the new power trend is taking away from the true fun the sport was designed for. The unique thing about pickleball that distinguishes it from other sports the most, is the way the game flows at 4 person ritual kitchen exchange. The beauty of a dinking rally followed by a speedup that goes back to a dinking rally, is undeniably awesome.
