So glad I stumbled across your videos Adam! I love the tip about keeping your paddle down as you get closer to the baseline. It’s so unintuitive to me because I always want to protect my face against drives, but I’m learning more and more to trust my reaction and to also let balls fly. Cant wait to binge some more videos! I have quite some catching up to do.
Me trying to persuade people that being on the kitchen line is not necessarily always ideal when they've had it drummed into them since they started to always try and get to the kitchen :(
Like the tips, but my one issue is when I'm mid court, with my paddle low, if the ball is driven so that it bounces 4' in front of me, I'll bounce up to about chest level making it difficult to get the paddle back up to the ball. Maybe there is no way to cover both attacks

Great video! New subscriber! I love the strategy tips and slow motion views! Thank you!
Thanks for the sub! Definitely sign up for the path to better pickleball. That will give you a lot more
My favorite tip was remembering to take a few steps back when you know you’re about to return an attack ball.
Thanks for the comment! It’s one of the most critical - to keep the ball out front.

Very true! Unfortunately it’s a myth that has stuck

in these situations it’s the inverse of a shot at your feet so you’ll want your paddle higher. Thanks for the comment!

Too many lines. You should do your videos at a dedicated pickleball court. I get it but you're gonna confuse newer players
Thanks for the comment
