Good video. It would be a lot easier to see the spinning if you marked a ball with stripes or alternating colors 1/4 of the way around. Could be a good idea for a practice ball. Billiards players use cue balls with bright red dots on them.
Two toned pickleballs are available for purchase just about anywhere PB equipment is sold. The trouble is they are not made by Franklin the last time I've looked and the plastic used has a different feel. I bought a bag and used them once. Generally you can tell best by the way the ball flies and how it bounces off of the ground. The proof is in the pudding!
On everything I’m really athletic. I really wish I could just come out and you show me some stuff. I played in my first tournament the other day one two games but it was 3.5 and lower.
As a 4.0 player, I notice that a lot of 4.5 and 5.0 players are almost always using UNDERSPIN when they are cross-court dinking on the backhand side. And they often get into these long underspin, cross-dink rallies. But then I watch the pros, and as you point out, there's a lot more topsinning going on. For example, James Ignatovich does that two-handed topsin backhand dink. Should I focus on mastering the underspin cross-court backhand consistency first, before trying to do topsin on the backhand side?
I'm seeing progress in my top spin when serving but I can't seem to generate any top spin when an opponent hits a hard top spin at me. Most times instead of hitting a top spin back I just manage to halt the spin and the ball flies off my paddle with no spin at all, a knuckleball. So frustrating but need to keep trying.
I’d say the flick is more of a speed up shot. It’s something that is deceptive off of a dink. It’s also usually not out of the air. You use a roll volley most commonly off of your opponents drop to keep them back.
What about the under spin? (Opposite of top spin). I used it when the ball is coming back knowing it’s a high enough bounce. Result is the opponent tries to return the shot and you guess it, it hits the net!
In a recent video, you talked about how the pros are now returning serves with topspin instead of chip and charge. Could you show some third shot drop techniques against this topspin return? Thanks

I do the exact same thing, especially when returning a serve that bounces a little higher than normal, I probably win four or five points a game using this technique, and this result is exactly what you described. They hit it right into the net, even the better players, it’s a great strategy
If you have any questions for me, let me know! I will respond to all comments👇
I want to ask how the paddle affects the Spin?
This the best Technique and instrumental pickle channel on RUclips!! Thanks!!
Wow, thanks!

Great suggestion!

@@hotprop92 my 2 tone balls are pretty good for games actually. Nice bounce and response when hitting. Brand is PCKL
Your videos are very helpful no matter the player level
Terrific video! Crisp, concise, well-paced. Kennedy is the perfect partner for these demos. Great camera work, editing, and effects!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think I finally understand how to generate top spin. I'll know for sure when I get on the court. Thank you so much!
great videos! how to defend different spin shots? (dinking & returning serves) thanks
Great suggestion!
Great video. Easy to understand.

A lot of information and skills, hope I can master that
The closer you are to the net which spin should you use? Thanks
Great explanations, now for attempted implementation!
You're lucky to gave someone who is able to return the ball just where you need it over and over, like Kenadi is doing. Great job, Kenadi!
Absolutely
What is the best way to return the topspin serve?
Any coupon code for the Mini Court? I think it would be a great way to train at home with my wife.

Connor/Drew - would you comment on best shoes for Pickleball?

When you hit top spin, I see some players hit the top of the ball first so their serve, so it creates a side & top spin, but is that legal serve?
Can u explain the difference between a roll volley and a flick?
I’d say the flick is more of a speed up shot. It’s something that is deceptive off of a dink. It’s also usually not out of the air.
You use a roll volley most commonly off of your opponents drop to keep them back.
Can you explain how to hit a 3rd shot on a very aggressive backhand slice, please?
Will cover that in next video
What about the under spin? (Opposite of top spin). I used it when the ball is coming back knowing it’s a high enough bounce. Result is the opponent tries to return the shot and you guess it, it hits the net!

Topspin is easy 😊
Not for everyone 😂
This might already have been mentioned but, the girl in the thumbnail is in the kitchen.

That's slice....
