This video is very detailed and concentrates to improve pb players’ skills, I highly appreciate your valued instructions and tips. I did save this video as the pb playing manual 🏓👍🤩
Great question and answer on where the paddle should be for returning serve. I hadn't heard that before, nor had I heard about the let the ball go based on your paddle height.
Tip 5- if you expect a speed up and a dink shot comes, there's time. The other way around, not true. Better to expect a speed up if you hit an attack-able dink than a slow shot return.
Great video. I think 95% of players are the ones who think pickleball is easy and they are too good for the game. This video shoots that ego down and makes them play like a pro. I would share this to all players who need to be humbled down. Thanks for making this.
I love the two-hand backhand explanation. I've been trying to figure out the point of drilling with a two-hand backhand when my one hand backhand is solid. I will work on my two hand around my feet. Thanks for the tip.
I’m a new player and just can’t do a two handed backhand. Is it crucial to have a two hand backhand or is something that I shouldn’t worry about as long as I’m comfortable with going one handed?
I feel like the tip about "paddle height = a good guess on whether the ball is going out or not" goes out the window somewhat when you're playing against players who are putting any decent amount of top spin on their shots?
Does judging if the ball is going out, based on paddle position, work if you are shorter than average? I’m 5’1 and just not sure if this tip applies to me.
I get what your saying regarding early movement, but I do notice pro players sliding just before a ball is sped up. Of course, these movements are controlled and not "flinchy", but I wonder how you reconcile these two things that seemingly both make sense to do.
You can position yourself in such a way where you cover the majority of possible shots, but you can’t commit too early. You can anticipate, but don’t guess.
As for which balls to let go is not about how high it’s about trajectory. If the ball is rising vs dropping you can also watch How your opponent is swinging. If you know how to put ether top spin or slice on a ball you can also recognize when your opponent is hitting with top spin. A player who generates massive top spin on their speedups can hit a speedup from below net height and still get the ball up and down and the ball could be at your chest height especially if you crouching in a low ready position and your short if the ball was hit with a ton of top spin it’s not necessarily going out. You need to judge what the likely trajectory of the shot not how high it is at the kitchen line. You could have a ball at waist height that is dropping with top spin and another waist height but rising and was hit up from very low. Both are at the same height and hit with the same speed but one was hit w it’s no top spin the other was hit without top spin. One ball is going to go straight up and out the other shot with a ton of top spin will travel in arc and could drop before going out.
Her first problem is playing with a thomas wilson 12 mm lmao. She needs a 2x 16mm. Shes literally killing her game. Im a 4.5 and playing the 12mm wilson was brutal compared to the 16mm. and she chokes up so much she needs a 2x not an elongated.
At the beginning, I thought these two young men are just some vanilla YT coaches. And as I watched them further, I realized they are GOLD. Subscribed!
Wow, pointing the paddle towards the ball is a huge help as a player. Awesome principles on basic playing!!!
As an instructor, this is one of the best videos I've seen. Thanks!

These are fantastic tips. Love the breakdowns of errors and corrections.

So glad it helped! That's a huge tip lots of people don't know
One of the best tutorial videos I've seen so far. Good job.

You guys are such good pickleball ambassadors
Great video. Thanks new sub. What is the proper way to hold the paddle for forehand?
Love this video, really helpful tips for someone that's been playing for years, thanks!

Well Done Guys! Wow, I really learned a lot!
Great video! I am aiming to use several principles explained here next time out! Thank you!

Your guys are making better and better videos! I have watched maybe a dozen of your videos and today I subscribed! Great job 👏

agreed. i've received balls chest height at the front and have still landed in play
Excellent instructional video clip. Very helpful.
Tip number3 about balls out--not all height are equal. 6.5 feet vs 5 feet tall.
Does judging if the ball is going out, based on paddle position, work if you are shorter than average? I’m 5’1 and just not sure if this tip applies to me.
I've learned a ton from your videos and you're very informative but how are you getting your percentages? For instance, 95% of pickleballers...
Great tips to get me to next level 3.5, thx
I've been playing for several years at 4+ level and this one of the best training sessions I have seen. Well done boys.
Almost in a meditative state. To focus, your mind must be blank! Great tip guys!
I need to try this!
Thank you so much. Performance and understanding!

Nice facility there!! Great setting.
Great video. I am really enjoying your videos. See you on the courts in Hiawassee :)
Thanks!
Good stuff

Great vid!
Thanks hope i can remember
Are you supposed to move up to the kitchen in segments rather than all the way in one motion as soon as you can?
I love eating serve deflectors for lunch
7:07-7:11😂 she ain't no fool.
her split step -- her feet are way too wide - hard to step out further when your legs are already spread out max
I let balls go that are above my paddle and most of them land in bounds. Then my partner tells me to just hit everything
really 95% or is this anecdotal?
Hmm I don’t think THAT’s a split step… LOL

I can’t watch her play.
Is there anything more painful to the ear than listening to grown men ending every sentence in the upward lilt of a valley girl.
She raise her left palm every time before she hits the ball, as if she's calling off the point.
