    My favorite sport just behind bowling and darts. I’m actually starting to feel like an athlete. I’m 62 with 2 back surgeries and started beating a number of 17-21 year olds.

    The one thing that blew my mind is that if the ball hits you, even if you are outside of the court. It’s a fault on you, even if the ball was clearly gonna be out. One thing my buddies and I have clarified though is when it comes to public courts. If the ball is out and going towards another court, we catch it even if it hasn’t bounced. Which I know is a fault to who ever catches it, but we don’t want our bad hits to mess up other peoples games.

    • @thatpickleballguy
      @thatpickleballguy  4 месяца назад +2

      Fair enough! In that setting that is a fair point as long as established prior to the game so you don't disrupt other games!

    Great video! You might already have one, but I would love a video that goes more in-depth on singles strategy. I am a solid 4.25 doubles player, but I don't know if I could even compete at a 3.5 singles level (it might be my lack of tennis background, but either way). Things like when to drive vs. drop in singles seem so different than doubles, it would be great to have a video going over some of that type of strategy.

    • @thatpickleballguy
      @thatpickleballguy  Год назад +1

      For sure!
      Here is a more beginner ish video I did on singles, maybe this will give you some ideas - ruclips.net/video/5cYcyMzvYiM/видео.html But I definitely could do a more advanced one. It'd probably be in the next couple months though.

    • @bradyguy7701
      @bradyguy7701 Год назад

      I think you probably compete at 3.5 Singles, Samuel...but you sound like I used to... I'm 58 and my knees are not great. That's MY big challenge in singles...and I played ONLY doubles for the first six months (Ive been playing about 9 months now...) Besides drive vs. drop, what things do you think would inhibit your singles play....I'd love to hear some other doubles players' opinions.

  • @markp3383
    @markp3383 6 месяцев назад

    Great stuff - thanks! Any recommendation for a beginner's paddle? I hear many say it is a good idea to spend a little more for a good one in the beginning because if you like it you will always upgrade from a cheaper one.

    • @thatpickleballguy
      @thatpickleballguy  6 месяцев назад

      Here’s the paddle I use. It’s the “power air” www.selkirk.com/products/vanguard-air-s2?variant=40179483344998
      Note, I specifically use the “prestige color.” I haven’t run a test on this, but I think it has a little more spin than the other power airs. :)
      If you’re looking for a less expensive option, I’d go with this one - www.selkirk.com/products/slk-halo?variant=39964829188198
      And, I prefer the “power” version. It still has very good touch, in my opinion, but has a little extra pop :)
      If you go with either of these use my code, “ADV-thatpickleballguy” and you’ll get a digital gift card toward a future purchase.

    So if I decide to do a drop serve, does that mean when my paddle makes contact with the ball the face of the paddle doesn’t need to be below my wrist and I can make contact with the ball above my waist if the ball ends up bouncing on it’s own above that height?

  • @jeancai4098
    @jeancai4098 Год назад

    You said during the serve 1 foot can hover over the baseline but the other foot must be behind the baseline. If the momentum pushed your hovering foot to step on the ground while hitting the ball out or after the ball was released, is that allowed? I have seen people doing that. I know in the kitchen line that is not allowed

      Official Rule 4.B.7. is below:
      Partner Positions. In doubles, with the exception of the server (see 4.A.4) there is no restriction on the position of any player, as long as all players are on their respective team’s side of the net. They can be positioned on or off the court. The correct server must serve from the correct service court, and the correct receiver must receive the serve.

    What about if your opponent doesn’t follow the two bounce rule? Also, what happens if I hit the ball twice with my paddle ie. it rolls on my paddle but makes it to the other side?

    • @thatpickleballguy
      @thatpickleballguy  6 месяцев назад

      The two bounce rule is a standard rule. Do they just not consider it dead if the ball hits twice and keep playing? And for ball hitting twice there is a specific double hit rule, and it states, “Balls can be hit twice, but this must occur during an unintentional, continuous, single-direction stroke, by one player.”

    Once the initial 2 bounce rule is complete and my opponent volley’s the ball onto my side, can I bounce the ball on my side to the opposing side?

    So why not to play to sets and then go for a best 5 tie break ?

    If the ball hits the net and rolls over, that point is good after the two bounce rule is complete right?

    I know that may be a stupid question for you but, If the ball hits the net and still goes in your opponent's court is it still good?
