- A while back I published a video looking at the top 10 most common beginner pickleball mistakes. The video did very well, so I thought I would follow up with an intermediate player version! These are mistakes that I personally see all the time. In the video, I will show you the mistakes in question and will teach you how to fix them!
As I mentioned in the video, make sure you check out Primetime Pickleball here: primetimepickleball.com

The biggest issue, and one that NO ONE ever covers in videos, is footwork. It’s all too common for players to look at their paddle after a bad shot, when in most cases they should be looking at their feet first. Frequently a bad shot is the result of being out of position and having to reach for the ball.
To compound this, almost every coach I see teaching neglects to teach using a proper stance. This is true in videos as well. This leads the student to not focus on footwork first - they’re never told it is important. I always teach the importance of good footwork, and getting to the spot ahead of the ball, and settling in before the ball gets there - letting the head become still. Of course this is not always possible, but it should be the goal. And it should be the core of what is taught.
Every teaching video I’ve seen has a relaxed presentation with none of the on screen actors in a ready position the same as they would be in a game. I’ve seen people try to teach and seen the same people play and it’s obvious that they aren’t teaching how they play - at least from a footwork / stance perspective. Just my opinion.
Your best instructional video so far, IMO (at least of the ones I've seen)
Thanks!
I'm a new pickleball player just learning. I thought this was sooooo helpful and will look for more of your videos! Thank you!!
Fantastic video! I watched it more than once!!! I love that you pack in tons of helpful tips and spend the appropriate amount of time on each point without droning on and on. I’m preparing for my first tournament and learning a lot from your videos. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad it's been useful. Definitely let me know how the tournament goes!
Well done. Thank you. I tried it for the first time today and I am hooked. It is so fun. Thanks for these great hints.
Awesome & very useful info Barrett. All these points you made give your viewer an arsenal of items to work on each time they play the game. This will increase the player's interest & love for the game each time they come out to play!!!!!!
Thanks!
One of the best coaching videos i have seen recently..... Thank you!
Thanks!
Yes agreed! Which really begs the question, who is downvoting this? 🧐
Nicely done. Very helpful. Thanks!
Thanks, the pleasure is mine!
Best video yet. Clear, right to the point, etc. thx
Soo helpful! Love this one a lot!✨🌟
Awesome video .. I have jus started to play pickleball and moving to advanced beginner stage .. these tips are very useful and I will definitely try to apply atleast one of these each time when I play . Thank you
Really good. Great tips with excellent coaching
Really awesome & educational video, Barrett!! I just watched whole thing twice! I'm sure I'll watch it again soon! Very informative. You explain thigs so well. Thank you for making that video 🙂
Thank you for your practical and easy to follow advice and instruction! These are tips I can take right to the court.
My pleasure. Thanks for stopping by.
Best Pickleball video I have seen this year
Wow, thank you!
This was great info. Lots of points that are so applicable. Thanks!
Really helpful!! Now if I could only remember all the tips! :-)
I got a suggestion to include all of them on the screen at the end. Will do that next time.
Thanks for watching guys! Y'all really seem to like the top 10 videos. Is it primarily the top 10 that you like or the mistakes videos that you like? What other videos do y'all want to see that's similar to this! Let me know if you have any suggestions.
10 is kind of a lot to remember, actually. I like the focus on intermediate level and can identify with most of the mistakes
The title grabbed me (top ten... intermediate player mistakes), but the content kept me watching till the end. Thanks.
I agree. 10 is a lot to remember at the end of the video. I'd go with 5 or at least summarize at the end. I like the mistake content. Please do one for more advanced players. Thanks!
That’s makes sense, thanks.
Great teaching video, not just for those who want to advance their skill level, but also good for advanced players when their game sometimes seems to fall apart. Going back to "basics" can bring one's game back!!! Thanks again!
Thank you very much!
Tks for the video. Learning each and every day. Will try some of your tips.
Awesome!
Great video. I never even though about some of the mistakes I was making especially the dead dinking.
Yeah that can be a tricky one. It's hard to spot.
Awesome tips!! Thank you!
Love Primetime. Great videos.
Excelentes consejos, los estoy siguiendo en la práctica, y es cierto cuesta por tensión nervosa muchas veces, hay que aflojar paleta, a cada rato trato de hacerlo y salen mejor las cosas, mucha gracias desde Montevideo Uruguay
So well done in SO many ways. This is a perfect model for anyone making a PB video. Information is super and presented so well, as well.
Thank you very much!
Very very veryyy helpful!!! Thank you!
My pleasure.
Excellent video…..I am guilty of a few of these. This is really helpful
Great video...keep up the good work!
great tips and demonstrations as well. I wrote down everything and review before I play. Thank you 🙏
That's a great idea! Thanks for stopping by.
This was really good!!
Very good insight as to player mistakes. I'm going to share your top 10 mistakes with ladies that I coach. Thank you!
Thanks very much, I hope it's useful for them!
I am a tennis player, go figure. The transition from tennis to pickleball as a Beginner is easy. I went to a Bootcamp of 5 weeks playing twice a week. I am joining an Intermediate ladder league. I have a lot to learn, footwork, shortening strokes, etc. My slice backhand served me well as a beginner. Let’s see if the Intermediate players are able to see it coming and react.
Very good! Keep it up!
Great video! Some really good tips and things to try.
Thanks!
Great stuff ♥️
Very good. Need to review this at the least on a weekly basis,
Very Helpful thanks
My pleasure.
I’m a total newbie, never played. Thanks for the great post!
Thanks for checking it out!
OMG the best ...........Thank you so much for your knowledge
Thank you very much!
Thanks!
My pleasure!
Good day, thanks for the great video instructions. I’ve sent it to a bunch of my pickle ball buddies. Would you or do you have a video about putting the ball into the net? On the server return or an overhead spike…? Thanks again for all your hard work.
That's pretty broad, but I can try to sneak that in somewhere.
Great stuff!
Thanks!
Nicely done.
Thanks!
You're videos have been great for me, I am just starting the game! I am hoping to find a league or event in my area soon!
That's awesome! How have things gone so far?
@@PickleballKitchen Great so far! Played a couple matches with friends at a sweet at home court that we constructed. Practiced dinking a couple times at a local racquet/wall ball court. I want to meet up and play with some other people to see how my skills match up so far though! Been watching lots of tutorial and tips videos by you and some others, and watching pro matches!
That part where you keep your feet spread apart I learned that from playing the infield in baseball and it does give you great advantages cause I do it playing pickleball cause I can shift either way when I need to where the ball is coming at
Great video
Thanks!
We love pickleball
Excellent, especially the one on footwork and the backhand lunge. If you watch a lot of Ben Johns, he does this lunge all the time, very effective.
Yes exactly. It's huge.
You said getting some loft in the ball for your drop shots is good because it prevents your opponent from whipping it or doing roll shots over the net, but doesn't more loft mean higher bounce? Which in turn means if the apex of the bounce is too high (above the net) then your opponents can attack the ball on you?
Great stuff! I’d recommend you put in-video links to your other relevant materials and videos to encourage people to explore your content more. It’s a bit more work but it should really help your traffic.
Thanks! How was the music volume this time around?
Nice video never seen the game before but I'm signing up at a senior center tomorrow to play
How did it go?
Thanks again.
My pleasure, Sandra!
Thanks for great videos! Complete beginner here. Can you slice spin the forehand as well as the backhand?
My pleasure and welcome to Pickleball! You sure can!
Good video
Nice job. Not sure why anyone would criticize this video or give it a thumbs down. I guess they don't get it.
Haha that’s ok. Thanks for checking it out!
I like your videos, so thanks! But in this one, I noticed that you seem to equate 'slice' with only backhand, and 'topspin' with only forehands. I agree those are likely easier to do for most players, but I've had good luck with adding a backhand topspin and a forehand slice.
This was helpful, but I would really like to see you make an instructional video on how to make instructional videos. Here's what I saw you get right that so many other coaches seem to get wrong:
- Explain your point briefly and clearly without excessive repetition.
- Quickly transition to a demonstration of the point.
- If the video does not clearly demonstrate the point, edit out the muck and re-tape it.
- Explain your point again during the demo by referring to what actually happens, not some theory that we did not see.
- Demonstrate both the right way and the wrong way to deal with the issue.
- Don't repeat the point ad nauseum. If we want to hear it again, we know how to back up the video.
- Keep a good pace - not plodding and not rushed.
Thanks so much. I will look for your other videos.
Hey Donald totally agree. I like that it's to the point, demo and lets move on.
Great
Is this Churchill Park? Did they convert some courts to PB? If so that's awesome!
Yup
Decent video.
I"m new to the sport but still have a hard time with the scoring part... especially the 3rd number
do you have a video on that? I really like the video...
I don't have a video on that, but I do have an article. pickleballkitchen.com/how-to-score-in-pickleball-and-never-lose-track-again/
The third number is just whether you are the first server on your side or the second server. Remember that the serve always starts from the right, so the first server would be 1 and the second server is 2. However, this does NOT apply for the very start of the game, which starts on 2 because the team that serves the very first serve of the game, they only get 1 serve for their team (not 2) so that server is server 2, so they would say the score at the beginning is 0-0-2.
Hey B, what is the location in which this video was filmed? Those courts look nice!
Dallas
Try lobbing to above left and right shoulder of opponent opposite you. More chance to get inside lines and take away their attacking swing. Either shots put them into defensive blocks instead.
what are you guys thoughts on switching hands instead of doing backhands? i am somebody who can kind of play both hands and i think i play better with my other hand rather than using bankhand on my dominant hamnd
I guess if you are fast enough, that could work. But I would think that it would pay off better just to improve your backhand. The only way to improve it is to use it!
A video worth watching twice. Thanks, Barrett.
Thanks!
Which Prince model are you using here? The Quantum Pro? how is that thing? Issues with the handle or quality?
I see response pro...
1. Low drop shots
2. High-bounce dinks
3. No spin
4. Lack of pattern recognition
5. Not changing up the serve
6. Lack of shot arsenal
7. Bad footwork
8. Playing tight
9. Body dinking
10. Not respecting pace
My only question is that, according to Sarah Ansboury, more and more pros are using a 3rd shot drop with a lower apex, a shot that lands a little farther back, close to the NVL line,
Yes, that is so true. But the mistake that I'm referring to is hitting the shot directly at your opponent. Perhaps I shouldn't have said "low", that's a mistake on my part. For intermediate players, getting more loft on the ball is going to keep your opponents from volleying that ball back at you. The next level, which is the one you're referring to, is keeping the ball from bouncing too high by getting that apex lower. Great comment, thank you!
great video. But I could not see the point you were making in the demonstration of error #10.
I'll use my own words here, but I believe he was advocating the use of a "re-set shot" to slow the game down, particularly when you are playing against people who hit hard. A re-set shot is an important element of an intermediate/advanced player's game.
This is correct, thank you. I'll try to explain that concept better in the future.
good tips, Can you explain how you get rated. I would say I'm an intermediate player. What are ratings and how do you get rated?
Most people just self-rate, but you can get a rating from a certified instructor. I would just self-rate.
@@PickleballKitchen so how do you self rate? is it 0-5. ??? 0-10 ???
2.5 up to 5.0. If you’re a complete beginner. I would just rate at 2.5.
When does the new drop ball serve take affect? Now?
January 25, 2021. So, now.
When you play pickle ball when you serve one time do you move up to the kitchen line when you’re playing with another friend or do you serve three times then move to the kitchen line
Not sure what you mean by “serve three times”?
So after I serve the first ball I go to the kitchen line
I will share this my friends it is so beautiful in so many ways. Just a great video in general So appreciate as i am from the yoga world...........expanding
Hey great video. Question: can you do an instructional video on how to punch out your partner when they dont get a single serve in? Thanks!
Is pickleball easier to play for an older person than say tennis, table tennis, squash etc. I've always been interested in bvb the game but I've never played. Now I'm really old and wonder if it's too late?
Yes definitely. Pickleball can be as hard or easy as you want it to be. Just go out and play some casual games and you'll love it. But please remember to be safe! Don't go too crazy!
How old is “really old?” I played one day with a lady in her 80s and she did great and was having a lot of fun.
Wow, excellent video! How is it that you don't have a million subscribers? I'll do my part and share. Thanks.
Haha, thanks, maybe one day! Thanks for sharing.
I think it would be cool if you had a visual display of the angle, with degrees.
Yeah I think that's something I can start adding.
When I use backhand slices, the ball goes up higher. I want the ball to go lower.
Je n'ai pas encore joué, je vais certainement essayer.
Go for it!
It would be great to have opponents who hit the ball right where I want them to.
Good job. Clearly made an important point and moved on to the next good point. Plus no crazy long introduction. Wow.
Maybe #11 is attacking too soon or lack of patience. Or is that a beginners mistake?
I thought all serve's had to be underhand, and you did it side arm, is that the same?
Which part of the video are you referring to so I can take a look.
After Jan 25, 2021, you can do a drop serve and it doesn’t have to be underhand.
How did you know all the mistakes I was making?
Haha!
Scoring in pickelball
I play it like tennis and when I do backspin they never get it
your first advice is wrong... keep your drops low, you do those half ass drops on me and I will reach over the line and eat them all day. Keep it low and slow to cuff the power shot.
Great advice on watch your opponent though. Always play the pace and shots that make them uncomfortable.
If you're in the kitchen and you jump up and hit a ball in the air and you land with both feet out of the kitchen is that a legal shot?
No. Your feet must land completely outside the zone before striking the ball.
Thanks!

Movie’s
When you Serve after one serveDo you go up to the kitchen line when you’re just playing with another person
Well....you have to let the return bounce before you can hit it. So can't move forward until you see where the return will land.
am I the only one who is weirded out by how you hold the paddle? :)
When I play with a partner they tend to poach me all the time how can I really play with a poacher
Call the ball as yours if you think you can get it. Have a conversation with them about poaching if you don’t like it.
@@MichelleH45 I try to but it the problem continues and i will refuse to play with them when it comes to the next game i rather sit out or play with someone else that actually knows how not how to poach me
Please know you can just put the mic on the collar- that looks ridiculous and is being worn completely wrong just FYI
Kyle Braby be nice
@@mcCashton Not mean at all, constructive criticism from a video production point of view... he can take it or leave it. Probably important for him to know what some of his audience might think just by seeing how he sets up equipment.
I agree with you his mic placement is wrong. However, the pickleball community is very kind and he’s nice enough to take time to make these videos for us to enjoy. You telling him it looks ridiculous is unnecessary to your constructive criticism. Not wanting to argue with you Kyle. Much love. Pickle on!
Oh is it? I had no idea. I'll try to put it on the collar and see what happens.
@@mcCashton True I used a harsh word, I could have been kinder in that regard.
Do you think you should tell people that when they just "flick it over", they should not be in the kitchen as you are?
Why not? You want to hit the ball at its peak, so why not step in if you can.
You can step in the kitchen if you want, just can't volley it.
Technically not a big fan of ur strokes - especially backhand!
No shot this man said topspin is harder than a slice 💀 wtaf
First off, I "liked" the video, because it is informative, high quality. Good job.
I respect your skill, but not your sport, if that makes any sense.
Is there actually a "lob" or "footwork" in pickleball?
Looks to me like she could just reach up and smash that ball. Is there a rule against hitting the ball over shoulder height or something?
Hhahaa, nope, no footwork. In the example of "moving your opponent" they can reach every ball without even moving their feet.
@@zandemen She can't hit the ball out of the air if it is in front of the line she is standing at. Yes there are plenty of "smashes" if a mistake is made but there are also plenty of times when that "smash" is returned back just as quickly.
Thanks for the like. And yes, I understand what you're saying. There are plenty of lobs and instances of footwork in pickleball. These videos are for demonstration purposes only. It's to give people ideas about pickleball in a controlled setting so it won't look like a real game. Thanks for stopping by!
@@roblife909 Thanks Rob. I was aware of the kitchen rule, no volleys, it's just that the court seems so small and the ball so slow, just one or two steps back should be able to beat even a perfect lob to the baseline corner, even with massive top spin. Just doesn't seem like it's effective, not that you can't use it.
@@zandemen Have you actually played this game?
Banyak omong....
No, need visual not talk
