Maybe the single best pickleball tutorial on RUclips. Many thanks. I'll be reviewing it often.
Like this very much! Thank you for the info and demo!
Great tips guys! You have some of the best content out there! Keep it up!
Love the tips!😅
Best video I have seen in a long time
Time stamp, followed by the mistake (and my brief comment in parentheses)
00:09 too big of a back swing in every shot (use smaller strokes more often, be in control)
01:22 not knowing how you win your points (be conscious of this and have a strategy for winning)
01:44 standing up with a little hop sometimes through drive shots (#1 is about arm control/stability, this one is leg control)
02:28 being lazy (essentially, stay loose, shuffle and move around more)
03:12 not being ready as the ball is hit (think ahead; anticipate; don't be on the move when your opponent hits the ball; plant & be ready)
03:56 not giving yourself enough margin (give yourself room for error; better to keep the ball in play than to hit it into the net or out)
04:29 hitting the ball while it's on the rise (instead, hit the ball after it reaches the peak and is descending; but be flexible on this as the game gets faster and more aggressive)
05:09 not warming up (simple - WARM UP!!!! And warm up as many movements as possible. Not warming up will lead to injury sooner or later, guaranteed)
06:12 complaining about wind (Stay positive & adjust your game; quitters never win, and often, neither do complainers)
06:56 not keeping your eyes on the ball (simple - watch the ball the entire time; but again, be flexible as the game gets faster and more aggressive)
08:14 undervaluing & not practicing the serve & return (every point starts with a serve & return! (assuming they're in of course) So make them good!)
09:59 not taking advantage of offensive lobs (just make sure you know when & where to lob, and what to do after you lob)
11:28 poor communication (this is a life skill we all wrestle with on & off the court! 😄Be clear & direct)
12:33 playing too cautiously (don't play to not lose, play to win! Take risks early in the game. High risk = high reward)
13:32 gripping with too much force (find the balance between too loose & too tight; along with the right paddle)
14:15 not subscribing to this channel 😄 (pretty valid, actually! Nothing replaces real practice on the court. And while there are now countless videos of how to improve, just make sure you're viewing some of them & taking time to learn!)
Thanks for the tips times stamp and your comments
Great tutorial!
You guys covered a lot of important things.
Please include tips for seniors like me who can't run right now. ( pain from severe osteoarthritis prohibits me).
I try to anticipate, but do need help on where to plant myself.
Awesome Video! Thank you
First time viewer. Excellent presentation and solid content. I’m a new fan.
Common sense, street smarts. You might not be the best talent wise, but you guys definitely know your stuff! I liked it so much & need to watch again that I send it to my doubles partner. Best compliment that I can give! Keep it up!
you both are great thanks!
Thanks for sharing! Where are you guys? Great pickleball courts with picnic tables!
Truly one of the best videos of all time! Great share coach! From #2
Good tips! Thanks!
Excellent roundup of tips gents
Very informative video! Keep it up.
Great tips! You have some of the best content out there. Keep up the good work! Hey Shea, did you compete in the Atlanta Open?
Thank you
Yes, stop then hit, a small hop gives more strength, keep your eye on the ball, good ones
Tip 17: Don't driving balls that are low (red zone) and near the kitchen line. It's either gonna go out or right into the net.
wow I literally saw another video on the "pro tips" where they said that many players (coming from tennis) move their feet too much and that you should rather stay put and planted with your feet. and here you say - shuffle and move your feet a lot :)
Thanks!
Whoa thank you! That’s so kind ❤️
I like to switch sides with my opponents half way through the game to even out the wind factor.
Great video, can pick off 10 tips I'm failing to properly do as a 3.0 player and great advice to fix them.
Love it when segments aren't scripted. "There's actually a 16th mistake" - His head jerk says it all. Lol
Exellent❤
LFG!
Yoooo!
What is the thing on one side of your paddle ???
Lol. The tips are good and relevant. But the demo on the mistakes was exaggerating 😂
#1 big swing is correct but it has nothing to do with knowledge of the paddle being dependent on vision. Close your eyes and touch the tip of your nose with your finger.
We have excellent ability to track things without vision.
It is true, a big backswing that takes the racquet way back, and out of peripheral vision, your mind loses racquet reference in relation to the incoming ball. This affects timing and racquet position/angle at contact. As you move the racquet forward from a big backswing, your mind begins making adjustments on height, speed, position, angle, etc. of your racquet/paddle. The purpose of a shorter backswing is to reduce the “calculations” the brain needs to make as the racquet comes forward.
Tip 5 example is encouraging people to stop mid court. That does not seem like the right move...
Is the guy in blue a rocket league content creator ?? Swear he looks and sounds like this guy named Striped
👀
I just watched a video from a top pro saying one of the biggest mistakes players make is shuffling their feet all over the place. That it is better to have a solid base. This video is in disagreement with that.
There’s a big difference between shuffling all over the place and having good footwork. We teach split-stepping and proper shuffling at the kitchen to encourage being controlled and balanced with every shot. Definitely not disagreeing with being solid!
You don’t know where your paddle is? It’s attached to your hand. If you don’t have the hand eye coordination to be able to know where your paddle is without physically seeing it you either need more practice or do something else.
Sounds like a disgruntled tennis player
Very common tip in badminton which is a much faster sport than both tennis and pickleball
While I don’t know you, I’m going to guess you have a racquet/paddle sport background, or some sport that uses hand-eye coordination. I have an extensive tennis background. For someone like me, or you if you have a background, the spatial awareness for us is second nature after playing hour tens of thousands of hours. For a new person this is not instinct, so they could very well not know where the paddle is in terms of how far the paddle take-back is. Sure that’s where the practice more comes in. Try something else is a bit extreme of an answer because it’s completely unrealistic for a new person with no experience to understand the spatial awareness recognition.
I win more points when I focus on keeping the paddle in front of me. It’s been one of the best tips I’ve learned.
Great suggestions but a little too much. I prefer videos with less content. Hard to take it all in.
Great advicea 🫡
Great tips! Thanks!
