I’m between 3.5 and 4.0, I drew a line in my garage wall where the net is and practiced these drills for the last two days. I played today and found my drop % increased dramatically and my dinks seem way softer. Thanks! Will be keeping up the practice.
5:48 - Beginner/Advanced Players: Slow Motion/Overlay The split screen slow motion replay clearly depicts the technical differences between beginning and advanced volley technique. While the beginner shifts more dramatically from side to side, the advanced player remains extremely compact, economical in movement. His sole focus lives on meeting the ball solidly in the center of the paddle face. This simplified, efficient stroke results from thousands of correct repetitions. By keeping the head still and body quiet, the ball consistently hits the same spot - eliminating variables like paddle angle, bounce trajectory and power. Begin rehearsing this pared down, accurate movement. In time, channeling all intention into clean ball-paddle connection will become second nature.
Loved you teaching. My favorite part about it is when you do it, you are so good at it, it makes it unrealistic for beginners. Watching her gives us all hope that practicing enough we can go from beginner level (her) to you.
Ed, this is a great video. It is so well thought out and presented. I'm a 4.2 level player and am trying to find ways to improve my skills including adding wall drills to my routine. I've discovered it really reveals quickly where you have gaps. I've watched quite a few wall drill videos and yours covers many things I haven't seen in others. The overlay was a great idea. I love your teacher/student format with Jaume and now with this one. You have such great chemistry with Maggie and her responses are so genuine. More videos with Maggie please! She has such a sweet personality and it would be great to see her growth as a player/student.
This is great! So helpful. Your videos are the first of many that I can follow and understand. You’re never condescending, always encouraging. I love the slow motion- it’s so helpful. Keep it up !!
Nice video. I'm an older woman beginner & have no partner & want to practice against a wall, so this was very helpful, especially to see teaching a lower level wife player.
Thanks for the video! Told my beginner friend if she didn’t have someone to drill with that I’d show her how to use a wall on her spare time. Glad I’m able to send this to her!
Love this format! This video is very similar to your Wall Drills 101 with added comments and a student (your wife!). I started following your wall drills 101 and plan on continuing. Eager to see your wife’s progress; also eager to make progress too 😊.
Love that you got your wife into pickleball. She must be good now. I also started pickleball first and trying to get my partner into it. I want to get the Dink Master Pro. It's pricey. Do you recommend it?
If you don’t have easy access to a practice wall, this is a super good alternative! It is a bit pricy, but very worth it for the amount of practice you can get in.
@@edjupickleball Thanks for your tip. I pulled the trigger and got it as I live in a dense city situation with not super easy access to a wall. I would like opportunity to practice when the mood strikes and my family can get in on the action as well. So, maybe that's justifying the price? :D
How does everyone determine their rating, my only problems are consistent power serving, erne, ATP, rapid fire at the kitchen line and defending the slam but I'm assuming that's not a thing other than recognizing it's about to happen and getting back. I've Played many sport. Have great footwork/court positioning and can score with strategy. What would a player like this☝️ rating be

I'm so glad!
This is great, I have a Dink Master and the 2ft drill is something that is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Thanks for the tips.

I been doing wall drill every day for a 2 weeks it was so hard at first now it’s getting so easy thx for the video
Great effort, nice forehand drill and Megan’s adjustment on the backhand grip is just a matter of time . Well done.
Thanks for the video!

Another great video. Good job. And I agree, your wife is very cute. Can’t wait to watch her progress !
Loved this and would love more Dink Master and TopSpin Pro drills. Thanks !!!
I love this! So helpful and encouraging to see a beginner improve. Love the overlay.
Overlay great idea , I found very helpful . Thank you

@@edjupickleball I bit the bullet and got it during their sale. I love it though it's taking over my small one bedroom apartment. :D
I do like this format
More to come!
That was really good 😊
I love this because my husband is 3.0 working his way up too. (I play 4.0)

Good video Ed!
Any info on what kind of stand this is?
It’s called a dink master! I’ll always put links of the training equipment I use in the description :-)
Great video.
Good
