I love it when my opponent side slaps their soft serve, so it will kick hard to the side 4:49 as I get to practice my ATP.
With the angles involved in the ball kicking hard to the side near the NVZ and me running to intercept it, the ATP is the easier shot.
The added benefit is they won't try that again. 🙂
You must be young! Thanks for watching.

Definitely not young anymore. Unless you have mobility issues I don’t see youth as an advantage.
My opponent recently said “I can’t believe you got to that ball” I laughed and said “I’m pretty fast for an old man” My young partner said “You’re pretty fast for any man”
The court is small. It’s not about speed as much as anticipation and staying focused on the ball until contact.
Concerning serves and anticipation, watch good players play against others before your game. Players with several serves in their arsenal will give away the type of serve before their paddle contacts the ball.
I'm guessing the stacking / switching team was just learning those moves. Kudos to them to seriously try them and stick with it. I'll bet they've gotten much better at it since this game.
Rory, very good job on the commentary.
(I watched that last point four times. I think the Grey player foot-faulted to hit the "winner". But there was no Ref....)
I didn't notice that. Lots of foot gay are made that are never called.
At my level, I understand stacking and the benefits it can bring about. I mainly participate in open play, with many different partners of varying skill levels, where, most of the time, stacking would be as confusing as it appears to be here.
Thanks for watching. It can be confusing.
It's confusing on defense even if you've played together for a while....my concentration just isn't there and I admit it...i don't like to have to think that much out there or do that much running around as Rory says "like chickens with their heads cut off." Too much going on for the outcome.
Is the serve by the older player, light blue shirt, near court, legal? The slow motion of his serve at 14:41 serve is almost shoulder level!
Thanks for watching. It's a tough call. It might be.
He tosses the ball up to near shoulder level but doesn't hit the ball until it drops below his waist. Tossing is legal on a volley serve. The 3 main requirements (below waist, upward motion & paddle face below wrist) only apply when paddle contacts the ball.
If you play the video at 0.25 speed and stop it exactly at ball contact (May take several attempts), the serve is legal.
The guy in black had an illegal serve. Down and upward arc, paddle face not higher than the wrist
Thanks for putting that out. It's kind of a tough call.
Thanks for the videos. I've enjoyed and learnt a lot form them. Would be fun for you to film one of you own games sometime and pick your own play apart!
I'm playing in a tournament in a couple of weeks. I may do it then. Thanks for watching.
Lol this is absolutely hilarious. Kids: learn the basics and execute them properly over and over and over BEFORE you ever try and get fancy and trick things up. If you’re 3.5, don’t do hand signals and stack…. Lol if you can’t hit a basic return of serve DEEP 9 out of 10 times, you don’t pass go and move on to stacking and hand signs 😂
And I just noticed their grips! They have their pointer finger on the paddle face…..again, don’t get fancy if you don’t hold the paddle properly….
Thanks for watching and thanks for you comments. I totally agree with what I call, "the frying pan grip". It seems I'm seeing it more and more. I believe it is much, much inferior to the continental grip.
Can you pick apart one of my pickleball videos please?
Thanks for asking. I'll try to get to it next week.
Put the ball away!!! 😂 man I wanted to reach through my screen and put him away. 😅
Thanks for watching.
My partner and I stack on our serves only--I'm right handed and he's left handed and it's too much running around on defense to stack with limited results--really not worth the effort. Seems to be a better choice to get established and get our feet set instead of having to hit the ball on the run or throw the brakes on and hit it.
Thanks for watching. What you wrote is 100% correct. If you're going to stack on the return, do you have to have the ability to get established at the NVZ.
I hate asking, but your channel has been such an informative tool since my wife and I started playing several months ago. I'm a military contractor, currently in Africa at a place called Air Base 101. At any rate, when I get home I may take in a few local, 50+ SoFlo single tournaments. Is there a chance you could sprinkle in a few single game reviews, so I could have an idea of what to look for in my novice game?
Thanks for asking. I don't play singles. I do play skinny singles occasionally. Singles really is a different game and I just don't know enough about it to comment on. I'm glad the videos are helping you and your wife. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for your reply! Is there any chance you may know a content creator that covers single play?@@pickleballpick-apart9787
Rory, Are you playing at Hallowheel in Baton Rouge this weekend?
No. I tried to get in and couldn't. It was full. If you're playing best of luck.
Hmm. I've got to think they've practiced the stacking moves before this, but sheesh. I think they were both about evenly matched players. Prob should have just focused on calling the shots and staying where they were. I think stacking is best for when you have quite a better player on the team and you want that person in on the left to take more forehands.
Thanks for your comment. I have no idea whether or not they've ever played together before. I would assume they have.
You got your terminology totally incorrect. Stacking is NOT switching!
Okay. It's a form of stacking. Technically, you are correct. Thanks for watching.
It is quite comical when teams without the mobility or skill level tries to stack. As 3.5's , these players should use the opportunity to play both sides and develop their skills/strategic awareness prior to attempting stacking. As a newer player, trying to learn just one side really hinders development.
You are correct. They did a very poor job of trying to pull it off. Thanks for watching.
