I really like the levels drill you showed--great teaching on not working the elbow and keeping paddle open, favoring backhand and recognizing out balls. The transition zone is a dangerous area to have to hit a ball from. The more I play, the more I respect it.
Sorry, I don't play tournaments. But if you would like to see what level I really play, you're welcome to check out my games against 5.5+ DUPR rated players on my channel :)
It appears that you have done quite well at 4.5 in local tournament play. Why not step up and compete at 5.0 so you can back up your claim and raise your DUPR.@@bk_pickleball
@@richj407The tournaments that I've played recently haven't put results into DUPR unfortunately. Summer in Florida is also a dead time for tourneys, have some on the calendar coming up soon!
I'm a 4.0 certified instructor for beginners and intermediates and in just a minute of watching his ease and skills I know he is above me nicely. Ratings suck if you don't play tourneys...I want an instructor who has good ideas and skills to help me raise my game,,, not just anyone with medals. BK is the real deal!

Agreed 👍 if you want to improve quickly start drilling your transition zone.
Excellent content. Concise, informative, valuable info, and no bs fluff. Thx.
Mahalo (thank you) from Hawaii. Like the reset drill, will implement definitely and immediately. Just ordered the 6.0 DBD.
Fantastic!
Thank you so much! Fantastic teaching! I could use this immediately as I love drilling.
BK you are awesome all around!!!
Very good teaching video. Lots of information, complete, concise, professional. Thank you for taking the time to try to make us all better players
You're very welcome! And thank for the support that means a lot for me.
Wow, so useful and everything is clearly explained. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent advise and presentation
It was one of the most informative videos I have watched. Thank you. I'm going to work on my resets today.
Awesome! Thank you! Resetting will make a huge difference in your Game, it's definitely a skill to master.
now I can become a GM in pickleball 😎
This is excellent BK :)
My guy!! Appreciate it, I'll be in Pittsburgh early next month, we gotta connect!
Excellent tips….
Awesome video! Btw can you link that electric tape?
This for some can be a way for seniors and/ or limited mobility players(LMP) can gain more control of the game. Thanks
I gotta make friends with the transition zone. Thanks.
Real helpful, but to be honest, BK is 3.5 at best
I would say 3.0 at best lol
I'm still waiting on my 3.5 At Best T-shirt to make it official 😅
audio is a little out of sync
You can't always cut off volleys at the net especially low and in the middle. Playing in the transition zone gives you options.
Big fan of kung fu movies?
Your videos have been excellent. But your last two videos your audio is out of sync with your video. Can you get that fixed?
According to your DUPR you aren't close to 5.0. But some good tips.

Likely coming from a 3.0-3.5 ....am I right Bobby? Great tips Cliff, thanks. Plus, you don't need to to be a 5.0+ to be a great instructor......
