Tanner- this is still one of my fave videos you have ever put out.. would love to see another drill session with your current partner Livornese or another pro!!
2:06 I'm the exact same way with what you did. When someone compliments something about my game, I always downplay it and call out the parts where I'm not good at it. It's good though, you're being humble, I hate arrogant players
This is fantastic content! Thanks for sharing the mindset and commentary that you both go through with your approach to this sport. I can’t wait to start drilling like this.
Great video. Question, why do people put their off hand on their hips when dinking. Does that help with anything?. Im curious cuz i see alot of people do it. Hope this helps my game. Thanks
Do you recommend a continental grip at the kitchen on both FH and BH? Coming from tennis, i like FH driving and FH TS dinking using a SW grip. However, I find it difficult countering speedups on the FH side with the SW grip. My BH flick using continental is my best shot and I'm thinking it may payoff in the long run using one grip at the kitchen. Thoughts?
No one on RUclips has yet approached analyzing JDubbs play style. I refer to is as "the fast handed fisher" since he rarely (more these days to poor effect) speeds up the ball and has a counter intuitive scooping dink which he seems to give "bad" but not horrible dinks to people to attack, knowing his hand speed is better and he can counter faster than anyone. Would love to hear your take not just on his techniques but on some of the major Pro strategies out there. I mean, I have my own ideas, but I want to hear your thoughts since they are often very succinct and on point, rather than meandering.
Nice video tutorial. Are you still using the Joola Hyperion 2 paddle? I know you had said it was the best paddle you tried? Will you be reviewing the new JOOLA GEN 3 Paddles?
What are the boundaries for the 1st drill? Is it like skinny singles or does the ball have to stay in the NVZ? I want to try this drill/game with some middle schoolers but need to confirm the rules first! It looks like a great drill to emphasize control & dinking.
I might be wrong but it looks like you're drilling with a Franklin, but you have another vid where you say 4.5+ players go with the Dura, why aren't you playing with that? I feel like those are usually more yellow than green, that's what I'm basing my guess on
@@tanner.pickleball So is the Dura used only specifically in certain tournaments? I guess I just want to know when I would need to start getting used to a Dura
Tanner, very good video. I noticed when drilling after the 16:30 point, on your backhand a lot of times you cross your leg across your body to take the shot. Your partner when he hits his backhand never crosses his leg across his body. Is this because of the skill level difference? Is one way more advantages than the other?
I think this is a preference thing, when the ball gets wide on me I feel more stable and comfortable crossing! I see Ben johns does the same, JW does not
What is the minimum time you would drill a specific skill, like starlight ahead dinking or resets? My drilling group does all the drills, but we usually only have an hour and tend to cram all the drills into an hour instead of focusing on a subset. I know we should be more focused, but I’m looking for guidance on a minimum time per drill.
I will drill something till I feel like I've improved somehow or I've gotten enough out of it in the session and then move onto something else I want to practice. If I don't drill everything I want that's okay, just start with the things you need the most improvement on first.
Tanner you are a rockstar! Question: On the kitchen line game, if your opponent speeds it up and you think his speedup will go out, so you let it go past, but you were wrong and it lands somewhere within the full court, is that a winner for your opponent who did the speedup? In a regular game that would be a point for your opponent of course, but how does that work in this mini game?
Mini or skinny singles doesn't mean "just the kitchen". It's just half the width of the court (sideline to center line), but it's full length (baseline to net)!
I’ve learned patients and if you watch Howell he never speeds up the ball off the bounce and he wants the opponent to attack first because he knows he can just counter it or reset the ball. Of course he will attack if he thinks the ball is high or he can do a flick! Just watching a 6.0+ he will dink 100 balls if he wants to which is just amazing to watch
Great content! I like instead of calling it the Mid Court position, calling it the RESET position. This gives it a functional term. It is a reset area. Always good stuff Tanner!
I see what you're saying but there are times you can and should attack from the transition zone. Calling it a "reset zone" implies an absolute. Choosing not to attack when you should can keep the opponent in the point and lead to your own loss. Calling it the transition zone implies that you don't want to hang around that area if you don't have to.
It's definitely an 11mm and definitely elongated. Weather in Type a series 1 I don't know. But it most likely is. I've had one on order for 2 months now. Their production is crap
He is so freaking calm and composed, give lots of love to tanners game and moves onto next point. Love it
Yesss!!!
So much value here. Thanks Tanner (and Will)
Thank you!!
I got a lot from showing the drills down to 0.5x speed so that I could see the attacks and blocks/counters in slow motion. Thanks, Tanner!
Love that - my pleasure!
Tanner- this is still one of my fave videos you have ever put out.. would love to see another drill session with your current partner Livornese or another pro!!
Thanks, I agree! I’m getting another one together soon!

Thanks D!
Great teaching session. I am tired just watching you two.
Hahaha
Great video and fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Here's what you learned... And I learned a lot, too! Thanks soo much for sharing these drill Tanner
Love this!!
Thank you for this excellent training session. I will be watching this one again and again
Glad you enjoyed it!

So much information packed into this, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for coming to CT - it was great to meet you!
Loved having you!!!
Tanner, looks so ready for PPA tour. Great video thanks for sharing! Im trying to pivot to drill more, play less.
Yes he is ready. Go play some PPA pickleball )
You can do it! That’s how to improve
No kidding, I won't shock me to see him in PPA games in the next year or so
Great drills guys!
And a lot of good insights and strategy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the lowish camera angle from the back of the court so people can see just how far below the tape the ball can be when you attack. Thanks.
Yesssir!
Thanks for this GREAT video Tanner
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is one of your best videos yet, please keep this content coming.
Thanks, will do!
Great video Tanner. Great job playing.
Glad you enjoyed it
18:22 omg look how Will glides to the kitchen
clean!
Great video. Question, why do people put their off hand on their hips when dinking. Does that help with anything?. Im curious cuz i see alot of people do it. Hope this helps my game. Thanks
Give it a try!! It helps center your balance!
For me it helps with concentration and patience.
I'm not exactly sure why, but I really enjoyed watching that!

Yes I recommend continental for all 2 handed backhands.
Tremendous vid! Greetings from South Jersey!
Hey, thanks!
Great analysis Tanner

Skinny’s
No boundaries, you just play half court! You can speed up, lob, dink, anything as long as half court!
Phenomenal content, as always!

That color could also be the Pro S1
This is a Franklin! My next tournament is using one!

Each session is usually 1.5 hours. 10- minutes on each skill is good!
This was very informative.
Thanks!
Tanner loved the video but I would cut out the CapCut clip at the end. It adds in automatically but you can just delete it
Thanks!
Will! Best kid in town! Oaks in Boca taking over the pickleball world 🌎 ❤
He’s the best!!!
What hours do you play in Boca from now until September...5 to 7 a.m. and 7 to whenever p.m. (assuming you have mosquito attracting lights)?

Exactly! Same rules apply as a real game! Always dodge a ball if it’s going out! Simply your opponents point!!
Mini or skinny singles doesn't mean "just the kitchen". It's just half the width of the court (sideline to center line), but it's full length (baseline to net)!
Truly excellent content once again 🙌

Do they teach 'patients' in medical school?

Is that a 16mm crbn? What size?? Good video!
Thanks yes! 16, 1x. If you get anything from their website make sure to use my code Tanner at checkout!!
Super informative
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thanks !
Glad you liked it!
What is the model of his proton paddle, series 1 type A 11mm? Square or elongated? Thanks
I will ask!
Thanks I really appreciate it, maybe what he thinks of the paddle also 😊
Also your best video yet!
It's definitely an 11mm and definitely elongated. Weather in Type a series 1 I don't know. But it most likely is. I've had one on order for 2 months now. Their production is crap
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Cant find me a Proton series 1 a or b to save my life.😢
Awwww
What paddle is Will using?
Proton :)
@@tanner.pickleball Do you know if it's the 11mm or 15 mm?
Looks to be the 11mm elongated series 1 B@@MontanaPickleball
Great vidddd
Thanks Francesca!
