Many premier athletes I've known have an economy of motion that allows them to simplify balance and improve consistency. When the head remains 'quiet', the cerebellum is not so busy. Even his footwork is quiet and simple. What I noticed about those matches is the small number of unforced errors, from everybody.
Another great video with spot on analysis. Gives me ideas for things I need to try and add to my game. I ordered the 14mm Mod on Black Friday. Looking forward to playing with it.
I think a lot comes down to calmness and keeping loose. Then telling yourself whether I win or loose, it is what it is. That’s the one non negotiable I turned to 3 months ago that improved my game hugely. You are a very good player. Yourself and the 6.0 guy are good to learn from. That spin back hand you do no one can attack.
Hey Martin. Excellent breakdown. Keep sharing with us, your channel will grow like a Bamboo plant. Also, I really like your style of play, all the best.
Wow, it is really surprising he generates good enough spin and speed to the ball with seemingly laid-back-alike attitude. I don't know about his paddle but he really hits sweet spot really well.
Its a matter of time before you are a 5.0. You have a sub from me. This was a great video and you have the skills to back it up. I'm a 4.1, an athlete, but new to racquet sports. I could learn a lot from your backhand. Thank you. I dont comment a a lot but I'm looking forward to your future videos.
The 6.0 guy, Eric, perfectly places every shot. He’s not trying to overpower the other team, he’s placing his shots in the perfect location so that the other team doesn’t have an easy speed up or put away. They hit hard at him and he drops the ball into the kitchen making it unattackable. They attack the ball anyway, and it gives Eric for his teammate the opportunity to hit the ball down at their feet. Great player!!! Someone commented that when Eric plays, he seems effortless. I agree!
The dude was chill. What I noticed is the way he drops, almost always right on the money. Doesn’t what paddle he has, he definitely knows how his material functions. So many times people will buy the latest paddle thinking they’ll play better, no, they won’t…
You guy's it hit hard to him. I think you earned those points. He hit hard too and you guys returned those shots. The only and why they're pros is they get hard shots over more consistently. They make look easy don't they. Lolol
How much does his paddle weigh? He’s a big guy and he could wield 10-11 oz paddle with no prob. Mass creates power so he didn’t need to swing big and hard to generate speed on a ball. I noticed he used a TYR paddle.
Thanks man, a lot of that technique comes from tennis. I probably spent like 200+ hours just strictly drilling backhand slices in tennis as a junior...
Forsythe played so efficiently, he can probably play 5-6 hours and outlast anyone. I think he has access to time machine to gain "forsyte" for the ball placements! On the other hand, wow, Martin, you've go some nice looking strokes, especially backhand!

basically his main trait is that his shot is difficult to predict where it'll go... so a play with a pause, and short motion + soft control, rather than actually being pro-active.... basically defensive style.
I’ve played with James and seen James Ivanovich …he hits harder and serves a lot faster. But I know a few that are as big or slightly smaller than you but, can rifle a ball super fast!
You can actually see the top pros utilize this move as well, they just have a higher bar for what is considered a "casual" flick or roll to a shoulder.
@@nogarats I've actually got the gameplay filmed already! Just need to gather my thoughts on what I want to say/how I want to say it, and I may get the video out on Sunday.
Constant short hops, dead dinks, high shots across the middle constantly hitting up on the ball. It's crazy how different DUPR changes depending on location.
@@tvroc7050 he does. The acceleration happens near the contact. It's the snap that happens just before the ball contact. Also a little follow-through is important as well. Because, bio-mechanics require time for stopping, so the slow down happens in advance. So if you want to stop right after the hit - chances are, you will clip the slow down period, and then you don't know exactly how hard you actually hit the ball, despite swinging full load beforehand. So follow through with the motion a bit (after the ball is already hit), and also accelerate/snap towards contact.
Hmm. I don't believe I'm quite there yet. The first thing I need to adjust is my serve, I don't go for a big serve, and a typical 5.0+ player will serve bigger than I do. It's not that I can't, it's just I sometimes have the fear of giving away the ball with a miss, but I need to push through that fear. The last two sessions (unrecorded), I've been going for big serves with a 90% accuracy, and in return getting a lot of free points. Need to stick to it though. I also need to incorporate a two handed backhand for dinking and countering. I have a strong two hander, I just don't think about using it at the NVZ. And sorry, no Instagram. Reachable by email at martingruninpickleball@gmail.com if need be though.

Hes a high level pickleball player, not a premier athlete. There's a big difference
Wow great video! Love the clips and the analysis, very helpful!
Great analysis and explanation. This channel will grow big!!
Another great video with spot on analysis. Gives me ideas for things I need to try and add to my game. I ordered the 14mm Mod on Black Friday. Looking forward to playing with it.
Let me know how it goes!
He plays so effortlessly too, jealous
Yep, it's pretty crazy how easily he's generating power, and also placing shots well with so little movement.
I think a lot comes down to calmness and keeping loose. Then telling yourself whether I win or loose, it is what it is. That’s the one non negotiable I turned to 3 months ago that improved my game hugely.
You are a very good player. Yourself and the 6.0 guy are good to learn from. That spin back hand you do no one can attack.
@@florme6494 he clearly knows what hes doing and he seems to be going easy on everyone too.
you would too against 3.5s
Hey Martin. Excellent breakdown. Keep sharing with us, your channel will grow like a Bamboo plant. Also, I really like your style of play, all the best.
I appreciate the words of encouragment Robby! Thank you.
Great Tips!
Wow, it is really surprising he generates good enough spin and speed to the ball with seemingly laid-back-alike attitude. I don't know about his paddle but he really hits sweet spot really well.
really nice content and perspective!
impressed by his resets. wow
Martin you and the others played very well
Thank you!
Nice play, your a very good player. Top spin volleys etc
Its a matter of time before you are a 5.0. You have a sub from me. This was a great video and you have the skills to back it up. I'm a 4.1, an athlete, but new to racquet sports. I could learn a lot from your backhand. Thank you. I dont comment a a lot but I'm looking forward to your future videos.
Appreciate the kind words bud. I’ve got a few things I need to clean up in my game to get to that 5.0+, but I’ll get it! Thanks for the support.

Great player!!! Someone commented that when Eric plays, he seems effortless. I agree!
Good summary. I feel like he was playing just strong enough, that he was outplaying the rest of us, but not by a big margin.
Great analysis!!!
His play looks effortless! You did great too, definitely can reach his level someday
The dude was chill. What I noticed is the way he drops, almost always right on the money. Doesn’t what paddle he has, he definitely knows how his material functions. So many times people will buy the latest paddle thinking they’ll play better, no, they won’t…
true that, its all about drilling and improving your skill and not the paddle, this guy could probably still dominate even with a wooden paddle.
You guy's it hit hard to him. I think you earned those points. He hit hard too and you guys returned those shots. The only and why they're pros is they get hard shots over more consistently. They make look easy don't they. Lolol

Dude you play at a 5.0 to 5.25 level easily. Your form and shot selection is high quality
Thanks! But there are still a few things about my game I need to improve to call myself a 5.0 player.
He looks slow, but when he counter-attack a volley is sick! so quick.
what grip do you use eastern, continental, western? Good video
Thanks! I use all of them depending on the situation, continental, eastern, semi-western and sometimes even western in some rare cases.
That shot at 12:19 is probably one of the flithest shots I've hit...
I more like your 6:35 receive, that was great reaction
Bro your slice returns and slice dinks are beautiful. I need to learn that how to hit them like that. Lol
Thanks man, a lot of that technique comes from tennis. I probably spent like 200+ hours just strictly drilling backhand slices in tennis as a junior...

Definitely, I feel like I probably spend 2-3x more energy per shot than he does.
nice stuff all around
14mm Mod too little pop and power. Ruby has more of both. Need to try a 16mm.
Did u get the specs on his paddle? What mm thickness?

I can see him thinking to himself - bunch of try hards.
😣
That would be me too 🤣🤣🤣
I will definitely try hard myself, why not? When will you get an opportunity to learn from the pro?
Why would trying hard be an insult?
His drops from baseline were consistent, accurate and unattackable. Very shallow into the kitchen.
The pro didn’t try to blast the ball. Smooth strokes, placement over power. That’s something everyone can do. But too many bangers out there.
I’ve played with James and seen James Ivanovich …he hits harder and serves a lot faster. But I know a few that are as big or slightly smaller than you but, can rifle a ball super fast!
Yes, for the most part in pickleball, size hasn't completely been a complete decider for how hard that player normally hits.
I wonder if he goes for those type of shots against pro level, the ones you're describing where he's flicking from below net.
You can actually see the top pros utilize this move as well, they just have a higher bar for what is considered a "casual" flick or roll to a shoulder.
The MODs are showing up in force at my home Rec Play courts.
Are you seeing more of the 14mm or 16mm?
Can wait for your choice between 14 vs 16 and why . Keep the videos coming, appreciated it a lot.
@@nogarats I've actually got the gameplay filmed already! Just need to gather my thoughts on what I want to say/how I want to say it, and I may get the video out on Sunday.
11:54 is Rob, your partner. Good dude and player.
Yep, he's great!
You had them running for their lives
He’s just lounging around lol
You are close to a 5.5
I wish! I would need to actually play with a group of 5.0-5.5 players to better understand where my level is.
Everything is well played, but, don't understand why all the weak serves.
Whose serves are you talking about in particular?
he looks like he wasnt trying or bored. i am sure he is a good player, but his lack of effort is not fun to see
If you look at his actual pro games, you'll notice that he even plays fairly laid back in those too. I think that it just his style of play.
Constant short hops, dead dinks, high shots across the middle constantly hitting up on the ball.
It's crazy how different DUPR changes depending on location.
Don’t see any difference between you and him 👀
Too kind.
It's not about mass lol, it's called ACCELERATION. Go learn some acceleration techniques from table tennis
But the man does not hit with a ton of speed as seen on the video.
@@tvroc7050 he does. The acceleration happens near the contact. It's the snap that happens just before the ball contact. Also a little follow-through is important as well.

He doesn’t use a core crushed juiced paddle
Ironically enough, during the game he mentioned that his paddle is crushed and he needs to replace it.
It’s so obvious his paddle is illegal Wdym. Major problem with this sport paddles are out of control
Who doesn’t?
You dont have special service
You’re right. Moving forward you’ll see me going for bigger serves. 💥
plS, pay more attention to the analysis of the match, and not just show it .
Little dinking mostly jungleball
weak serves are weak
Martin you must be higher than a 5.0. Do you have instagram?
Hmm. I don't believe I'm quite there yet. The first thing I need to adjust is my serve, I don't go for a big serve, and a typical 5.0+ player will serve bigger than I do.
