    Maybe a comment for another video, but a lot of people don't know what to do about spin coming at them. I'd love to have you do a breakdown of how to return different spins coming at you. I can do this fine (but don't know how to explain), but so many other people struggle with it I think it would be a very helpful video. Also, do you always read the shot and know whether it is coming as top/back/flat spin? Would love to hear about that as well. Thanks!

    John, this is your best work yet. You're really making great use of that "follow shot" technology (we see it a lot in golf and disc golf when the editor can track the moving object to show the trajectory in two dimensions across the frame of the shot).
    Anyway, for me, I think this is your best video yet, and I appreciate all of them.

    John, I love watching you play, and your teaching skills are second to none. The side views of the shot showed the trajectory very nicely.
    I have one general axe to grind, and I apologize for airing here. I wish that the community would use the term "Third Shot Reset". We all know what a drop shot is from tennis, squash, badminton, table tennis etc. A drop shot is hit when the opponent is at the back of the court. The third shot reset of course is hit when the opponents are at front of the court, at the kitchen line. Using "reset" makes so much more sense and I believe would eliminate a lot of confusion.

  • @joshc.6706

    Great video. Coming from tennis the third shot drop is very foreign to me. I’m not even a typical tennis player transitioning and just plays as a banger. However in tennis there’s no reason to specifically train this shot. This video really helped in understanding how and why to hit it with a purpose

    If you watch the video at about 4:00, for the underspin you say the swing is fairly level -- but the swing on the video starts at your knees and ends almost at your shoulder. So I'm a bit confused.

    • @RickLeBeau
      @RickLeBeau Год назад

      I think the path of the swing is mostly flat with a slight upward trajectory. My view is that it starts closer to waist-level, and where it appears he is finishing at shoulder level is an artifact of the camera angle. It would be a natural motion to complete the follow-through higher than the contact point, I think. Just make that motion without a paddle in your hand, and you'll probably see that when you straighten your elbow, the tricep extension in that motion will result in your hand finishing in a higher position than where it was at ball-contact.

    • @johncincolapickleball
      @johncincolapickleball  Год назад +1

      yes another great point @RickLeBeau, the follow through is a big part of the shot to make sure you are hitting the ball at the right time and place

    I've got guys in my rec league who fall short of being complete 3.5 players who nevertheless effortlessly pick off either back corner on their second shots with smoking topspin. If you aren't driving this to set up a fifth shot drop, this actually is one of the hardest shots in pickleball to fully control in recreational play.

  • @martinkeigher5887
    @martinkeigher5887 Год назад

    Hi John. Many thanks for all of your video contributions, they are getting better with each new addition. Some coaches seem to advocate for using a slight eastern grip on third shots to aid with the spin, but do you think continental grip is just as good,( assuming you can generate the top spin and underspin motion on the ball using this grip.) ? Any advice most welcomed, but thanks again for all that you do to help us.

  • @mib6002

    What would be the pros or cons to a topspin / flat shot / backspin shot? Does it not matter as much?

    • @RickLeBeau
      @RickLeBeau Год назад

      I was wondering that, too, and hope John will respond. In the meantime, I think that just having a variety of shots (topspin vs backspin specifically for your question) keeps your opponent from being able to settle in and gain the advantage of anticipating your shot if you're constantly returning with the same spin direction. Make your opponent react to each shot as if it were novel, rather than knowing he/she needs to just be six inches behind the landing spot (for topspin) or charging it more (for backspin). Keep em on their toes.

    • @johncincolapickleball
      @johncincolapickleball  Год назад +2

      Yes thats a great point, being a predictable player (even if you are hitting great shots), can allow your opponent to adapt then anticipate your next move. can always throw in a 3rd drive to mix it up as well

    • @johncincolapickleball
      @johncincolapickleball  Год назад +4

      pros:
      topspin: aggressive shot, dips near the kitchen line and make opponent think twice about volley or bouncing it
      flat: easy, can be very consistent
      backspin: (depending on amount of spin) different flight path and bounce compared to topspin and flat so can make opponent second guess choices at kitchen line.
      cons:
      topspin: risky shot, can hit top of net
      flat: can be predictable, usually easiest for forehand side
      backspin: can have a higher flight path, making the bounce attackable, practice make perfect

      @kathleenmontavon8630 Год назад

      To piggyback on your comment, it looked like topspin is always on the forehand, and backspin was always a backhand. Shouldn’t the goal be to have flat/ topspin/ backspin for both forehand and backhand?

      @RickLeBeau Год назад +1

      You need to make sure you get both kinds of reps: Repetition, and Replication. John sold me on the value of the SpinShot Pickleball machine, which allows a player to see the same shot coming at him/her up to 80 or 90 times consecutively. Once you have seen a certain incoming shot enough times, you evolve your approach, your footwork, your strategy/tactics, and skill to be able replicate shots, and adjust to your errors.

    You mean less margin for error on crosscourt drops... There's less chance for error; net is lower in the center, more space to work with, and less chance you'll pop it up vs. straight on
