Your tips and “recipes” for success are excellent-you give details to work on. I watch a fair number of pickleball channels and you are currently my favorite because they’re concise, precise and detailed. 🎉
This is excellent advice and a lesson. I switched to this today and was slaying them with topspin! Thanks for going into detail about how to execute this!
Been playing pickleball since August started doing youre wall drills and ball control skills for about four days now and already feeling a lot more precise with my hitting and control thanks man fully into you’re channel
Great question! When you are first starting out, looking at the ball is going to be natural since you're still not familiar with how the ball travels through the air or bounces. But as you get better, you stop needing to look at the ball when you serve. You look at your target. For example, when you ride a bike or drive a car, you are looking forward. But a beginner driver might be looking at their steering wheel more frequently. Another example: an Archer. The experienced archer takes aim at their target. They don't stare at their bow an arrow. They focus on their target.
If you just start out PB, you should find bouncing the ball is easier. But for people who first learned to play before bouncing is allowed, they may find non-bouncing serve more comfortable. It's also a bit easier to read a bouncing serve, so you may want to learn the non-bouncing serve.

Excellent breakdown of how to properly serve and also options for consistency. Thanks 🙋🏽♀️
Switched to open stance. Thanks!
Beginner question: during the serve, should I be looking at the ball or at a target on the other side of the court?

That makes sense. Thanks for all of the great tutorials, Ed!
Now what if I combine all of the above? Serve with a fast ball that drops right at the end and bounces high.
Perfection 👌🏼 if you can get speed and depth, that’s the perfect storm
I see you switched to the Luxx for the demo!
I’ll switch between the two from time to time!
Where are these courts? I live in Sacramento.
Some nice ones behind Galleria mall in Roseville, at Rusch Park in Citrus Heights, and McBean park in Lincoln.
Just curious, what kind of hat is that?
This one is by casual athlete! Fantastic hat
Thanks Ed!!
Better to not bounce on serve?

You’re not allowed to toss the ball up. You have to drop it.
Rulebook says you can toss the ball up in the air and let it drop before you hit it or you can hold it out and let it drop down out of your hand.
Hey old man you can throw it up but you can toss it downward and you cannot toss it up in ppa
Tossing it up is against the rules…HHH is correct!
Your feet are cutting the line so many serves would be illegal. Great advice though
its legal as long as you are outside the court when you start your serve you can step in with momentum
