Anna Leigh needs to be playing tennis full-time. The USTA needs to get with her and her parents about her playing in one of our country's tennis academies. She has all the skills needed to be a top 50 tennis player. Pickleball is fun but there is a lot MORE money in tennis.
@@mrbobevans That could change. The Pickleball people should market her the way tennis marketed Chris Evert. She's cute and personable, really talented and competitive, and could be the face of the sport for a long time.
I am new to Pickleball and trying to fully understand the NVZ violation/fault rules: At 9:55--10:05 minutes into the video; Sobek (guy in red shirt) steps into the NVZ before the ball lands (...the ball eventually lands outside the Kitchen) ...he steps back out of the kitchen when he realizes the ball was NOT going to land inside the kitchen. Like I said..the ball eventually lands beyond (outside the kitchen). Was this a FAULT that was just not noticed or called? TIA for any explanation.
Hi Robert, thanks for watching. At 9:57 ish, Sobek pushes off the NVZ as he moves back to get a ball. It is a ball that bounces, so because he hits it on the bounce, there is no fault. Then at , approx 10:06 he runs to the side to get a ball and his foot drags through the NVZ. This is also a ball that has bounced so there is no fault. A video that might help a little is this one we made clarifying the NVZ rule - The Most Complete Pickleball Non Volley Zone Rule Video - Pickleball 411 ruclips.net/video/xGfLXDTzJck/видео.html and also this other one Three Myths about being in the Kitchen - ruclips.net/video/QacxhVqHzvY/видео.html Hope this helps. Keep on playing.
Really? How many let out balls would you have noticed without the commentator mentioning it (Game 1)? That is part of the strategy against bangers but isn't obvious or easy to do(too tempting to hit the ball that is in fact going out)
Wish we could! Not every gold match was available for broadcast on the Zing Zang Championship Court. This actually ended up being a filler match because another gold match was determined forfeit. Probably the gold match you are looking for was played in the morning when we weren't broadcasting yet during the day. Thanks for watching the matches we do have available. If you think you want to see a certain match next year, let the organizers know. They do a great job of listening to feedback.
@@PickleballChannel Really? the GOLD match for the most popular category and skill level has to be requested? Really?!? Why weren't you broadcasting at the time?
@@thegoldenrooster8376 I play in numerous tournaments here in Houston every year, don't get me wrong I love the sport but I don't see it ever becoming as popular as tennis or badminton etc and I definitely don't see it becoming an Olympic sport simply because of how easy it is
It's easy to laugh if you have never played it before. if you just walk in there you realize it isn't so easy to keep the ball in the court. You also probably don't understand why people are hitting the ball low and soft. You have to avoid getting the ball too high or it will get smashed at you. So all of those soft shots have a purpose.
@@gregorythomas1411 It's very fast paced when you're actually playing it. The difference between hitting and missing fast volleys in the kitchens is fractions of a second.
They should have asked the little girl more questions. She's a lot more verbal than the lad at this point. She was the best player on the court today!

Nice introduction video, commentaries & rules
to pickle ball game.
@29:42 OK, he's 14 years old, but he says he's been playing for 10 years. I was thinking he's only been playing a few years. I don't feel so bad now 😃
He played tennis before
Ok it's 2 AM, the fuck am I doing?

Cannot understand why they take so much of the screen with the scoreboard. That needs to be so much smaller. Really annoying trying to watch this .
It doesn’t even take that much space
Im pretty into sports and this is the first time I’ve ever seen this or heard of it
Love this sport. It's definitely not popular.
@@samuelanderson9430 Eh ?? Seems to be on a high growth trajectory to me ....
@@stephenlong7303 It's certainly on the upswing, but it's not "popular".
The woman in black keeps putting her foot over NVZ line when hitting on the full. I'm confused!
Once again, the commentators state the obvious throughout the entire match. Do yourself a favor and mute the sound.
What else can they say? That's literally all sports commentary is; viewers can see what's going on already.

Bruh they’re a commentator it’s their job you idiot
What's the highest rating for pickleball?
arcade fire
Need to get McEnroe to play in the open doubles. Would be great to have the Bryan Brothers play a tourney as well.
I just don't understand how a 14 y o kid gets into a 19-49 tourni
The commentators covered this, apparently players can "play up," start at 5:27 for the explanation.
Well i guess i should have watched through minute 6
How about posting the mixed doubles 19+ 5.0 gold match ? Would really like to see that.

Pickleball Channel how about posting all the gold medal matches and semifinals in all the divisions
@@PickleballChannel Really? the GOLD match for the most popular category and skill level has to be requested? Really?!? Why weren't you broadcasting at the time?
I like pickleball but games like this shows why this will never be a serious sport, it's just too easy
Sounds like you’ve never played at a 4.0 level tournament
@@thegoldenrooster8376 I'm a 4.5 player lol
dierksfan59 then become pro and earn 70k-150 a year. It’s the fastest growing sport. And will be in the Olympic one day. Easily
dierksfan59 what sanctioned tournaments have you played at?

This game is a combo of ping pong, badminton, and tennis. Seems a bit silly really.
Maybe you should go back to your cornhole game. ;)
@@racketrick I've played pickleball and its fun. But seriously, a "Pro" game that uses a wiffle ball, uh no.
When you can't make it to Pro Tennis....there's always Pickleball.
Then go watch tennis?
Stupid comment
Tiger if you played both, pickleball is way funner. It’s not even close. Rallies from pickleball are a lot longer too. Unless your pro and the 5%.
"great athleticism"? 🤣🤣🤣 At 4:24
Lot of seeves missed. Weird at this level.
Come on guys just play tennis 😩
#꽃님 doubles is super boring
I thought this was a joke of tennis.
It is, you were correct
Yeah just like your name.
The fat non-athlete Shows how far this game has to develop.
Why is this a sport?🤣🤣🤣

@@RichardsWorld thank you
From watching it it looked very slow and relaxing play so I didn't know it was that tactical

@@zachcarmichael699 are kitchens the red spaces on the court?
