My wife and I really appreciate the level of detail you provide. In particular, your description of what certain shots should feel like has been very helpful.
Always helpful! I have looked at a bunch of different folks on RUclips, but I keep coming back to you. Fantastic. This video was just what I was looking for. I have a horrible habit of dinking a bit to high over the net. Just watching your form is so beneficial... and thank you to your pickleball partner.
Terrific tips. I am new to PickleBall and your channel with experience in both tennis and ping pong. I find your channel provides super instruction and explanations! Thank you!
I’m a beginner I’ve only been playing for 2 months! I’m falling in love with this sport. Your videos was the first to pop up in my search 🔍 bar. I really loved your technique and teaching style from the first video. I normally play about 3/4 days a week. How long would you suggest someone play before taking your Academy 😊
Those break downs of real situations during play are really helpful as those are what we experience and process options during play. Might be good for adding views if you add the "i" logo for more info in depth how to breakdown of the techniques you are showing....ie roll over backhand softer placement shot. I'll search for vid on this looks so effective
Right out of the gate was a real nugget for me on the wide Forehand dink. I have done the exact erroneous shot that you mention trying to put topspin on the ball but instead coming over top of it and hitting it into the net. 😝
Lately with so many ex tennis players starting to play pickleball, and these raw carbon fiber paddles, they are attacking even good thirds. Any suggestions? Thanks for the video
Personally, when I started experiencing that it meant I had to get my 3rds a little lower, possibly add some backspin, slow them down, or just get a better angle to on the 3rd toward the sideline--preferable to their backhand. Placement becomes really important as you're learning 3rds because as you've experienced, if they bounce even a little to high or go too deep (especially on their forehand) they can attack--getting your 3rd to go cross court, a little lower and slower, and to their backhand will go a long way to minimizing an attack :)
I end up doing scorpion instead of the shift when the ball is coming back fast--its quicker to drop down and put the paddle up than slide over and side shot.
@@TheBoydTV To me it is also target dependent. For me it is easier to hit a cross court angle with the shift and hit. strait on that scorpion shot is super effective. It is also dependent on time and which body shot your opponent tried to hit you with.
The split step does not work, is old school. Look at your video of you doing it: you are off balance when you "try" to stop and never really get your balance before hitting the ball. One must learn to relax and hit the ball in whatever foot position one is in when the ball gets to you. Look at the pros: they are not taking the time and energy to split step. They don't have time to do it, as the pace of play is faster now.
Love Barrett and Linda!! Dynamic Duo of Pickleball

Great tips, I am very new to PickleBall but thankfully learned those athletic skills in compete every tennis and pin pong.

Very good, maybe the best yet
Random tips were great!
Nice instructions!
Great lesson loved the drill.
Thank you

Thanks!
Can you describe the decision process for backhand wrist flick vs ATP on that wide dink?
The dinks you’re seeing here are a bit deeper. ATPs are closer to the net generally
Terrific tips!

Do you ever hit the scorpion shot, in place of the side shift side arm shot?

Thank you very much for the tip and I sincerely apologize for missing this! RUclips doesn't notify me when this happens.
Helpful to replay in slo mo
Nice court!
Was great
Looks like the 14E is working out for you.
It sure is!
Think that is the H🙂 which I believe he enjoys even more! 🥳
Talk too much! Not much shows the body movement and how to demonstrate .
