Watched your video right before heading to the gym to do some wall practice in one of the racquetball courts since it's raining today in "sunny" SoCal. :) How perfect that your video was also shot in an Rball court! Your drills really helped add some spice and structure to my practice session and I especially loved the "corner drill" since the unpredictability of the ball's bounce really made it realistic - thanks so much for that great idea as well as your other ones. Just signed up for your 30 day challenge and looking forward to being a better player in a month. Thank you!
Love this. I too practice in racquetball courts. I also practice serving from corner to corner. The balls always roll right back to me. Hey, my pinky hurts from playing pickleball. I wonder if I'm holding the racquet wrong. Any tips?
This was extremely helpful!!! I just started playing a little more than a month ago and have only played about once a week, each week. My game has improved but with my frequency of play it's a slow process. Thank you for putting this video together! Now to search for a wall to use that's nearby home...
Lovin it. Thank you. Have been practicing your drills. Even bought a pickleball rebounder from rebounder AZ. can’t wait to try it with my own rebounder. No need to drive to the nearest school handball wall. 😅
All good, but doing in my garage so can't do the corner exercise (too much other stuff in garage) or the overhead (ceiling not high enough). Any suggestions on other wall exercises for the overhead?
Hey V Ley, great question. It depends on your distance from the nvz line. If I’m a few feet away from the kitchen I will aim 18” or a little more higher from the net height.
just finished my first little session of drills in the racquetball court. Wish I would have watched this first and brought some tape! So few places to play indoors over winter where I live and have been thinking “what can i do on empty racquetball courts?” Spring just around the corner! I was thinking of setting up banner and doing “dink only” games. I may definitely do that after i spend some time with drills!
Hi, is the ideal place to practice these drills in a racquetball court? If I practice in the garage that's most likely made of concrete bricks it seems like the concrete absorbs too much of the hit and the ball kinda dies. Any suggestions about ideal practice surfaces?
Just found your channel, appreciate all your tips. Can u explain the corner drill in a bit more detail? Is it trying to hit the front wall or close to the corner? Not quite sure. Thanks so much!!
Sure, the goal is for the ball to hit the corner and to bounce in a way you don’t expect that way you can practice responding and returning the ball quickly while also maintaining control. Hope that helps!
Great video, have a local wall that will work great. Trying to learn on court in play is not very effective! I think most of us make the mistake of this. I am interested in your online courses
I learned how to juggle to help my coordination and have some really similar drills I practice with. Also I've started doing tracking practice with my eyes. Kinda like a professional hockey goalie does.
As for the juggling I can't say for sure that it helped but safe to assume that it definitely didn't hurt. For the eye tracking practice I got to say it definitely helps. It helps me get that split second to make sure I'm taking the right shot instead of kinda haphazardly throwing my arm and hoping I cough it up. It might only give me a millisecond but in a firefight at the net that's plenty enough time to win the point.
Great video - thank you! Just confirming that your taped NVZ line is indeed 7 feet from the wall - maybe the video angle distorts this, but it looks like if you laid down on the ground starting at the wall you'd be longer than that line, and I don't think you are 7 feet tall??
JUst in 1:21 seconds, and I love this video already!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Thanks for the comment
Wow, congrats, this is one of the best videos for self improvement in pickleball that i've seen! Any blessings!
Wow, thank you! Thanks for the comment

Thanks for the comment and for signing up! I’m glad the drills helped!
Can’t wait to try these. They all look like that will help so much!
Thanks for the comment! Let me know if they help!
Good content! I especially liked the addition of that last bit -- hand toss up/down and catch. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for the comment!
I've seen a lot of wall drills but never one on overheads. I can't wait to get out and try that. Thanks!
Awesome! I hope it helps! Thanks for the comment.
Great drills! These have really helped my game, especially working on “fast hands” for volleying
Thanks! Those are some of my favorites
Love it!
Question: Do you usually want your hit to peak before it hits the wall?
Very well done! Simple, straightforward and easy to learn.
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent instructions! Especially for beginners.
Glad you think so!
Great video all around. I like the short workout drills in-between practice sets.
Love this. I too practice in racquetball courts. I also practice serving from corner to corner. The balls always roll right back to me. Hey, my pinky hurts from playing pickleball. I wonder if I'm holding the racquet wrong. Any tips?
Maybe loosen your grip some?
Excellent! I especially liked the one on overhead one-just need to find a good, high wall to practice on!
Thanks Carol! Yep, high ceilings helps. Good luck!
Good tips I like all your tips I wish I could save it .

You're very welcome! Thank you for shaeing
Good stuff. Never thought about using the corner! Of course that's perfect for drilling!
Thanks for the comment!

Let me think on that and get back to you
Thank you so much for these tips. I can’t wait to try them.
You are so welcome! Thank you for the comment!
Great drills! Thanks for putting this video together.
My pleasure! Thank you!
Excellent tutorial video. Thanks
You're welcome! Thanks!
all killer no filler, brilliant video dude, thanks. upvoted, subscribed!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you, great drills, I especially like the corner drill and conditioning exercises.
Thanks Bob! I hope they help. Thanks for the comment.
Any suggestions on where we should be aiming at the wall when we are trying to practice deep overheads (at opponent's feet or at least not mid court)?
Hey V Ley, great question. It depends on your distance from the nvz line. If I’m a few feet away from the kitchen I will aim 18” or a little more higher from the net height.
Well done! Love your training tips. Is the video played at normal speed?
Thank you! There are some moments that are full speed and others are slowed down
Throwing and Catching the ball off the wall. All drills were helpful and easy to watch
Thank you!
Great videos and instruction! Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching and for commenting! What did you like the most?
Nice work. Definitely going to be practicing some of these on vacation. 🙌🔥

Good video. All the concepts make sense. Keen to try them.

Cool! I have been doing similar drills in the same room recently. But I am going to add corner drills and overhead drills.
Nice! Thanks for the comment!
Great video! I am going to practice like this.
Thanks for the comment!

Glad I could help!
Thank you high 5 pickle ball, very helpful.

The video distorts the view. It’s 7 feet. Thanks for the comment!
Excellent video, I'm going to follow. Wrote down video info.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks. Nice videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks for the comment!
It would be outstanding if you can make part 2 and 3 on this wall drills.(footworks etc) 😊
Great idea! I’ll do that :)
Would it be bad to use practice balls that are likely not to specs but are way cheaper?
I would practice with what you play with but I also understand if you need to save money. Balls ain’t cheap!
The overhead put away, and I hand coronation drill were great for me
Awesome!
I like you provided how many times on each drill. Watching your video 5x. 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice I added some things to my daily wall drills
Love it!
excellent ...only finding a corner wall might be tuff.
Thanks for the comment! Racquetball courts are solid
The speed up & reset! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Mo! That’s one of my favorites
I like the desk drill and the jump squats
Thank you!
Reset drop was great
Thank you!
Please let me know, in. Back hand paddle is supposed to slight slanted, Right?
Thanks for the comment, can you rephrase your question please?
@@HighFivePickleball when you are practicing backhand wall drills , do you keep your paddle slightly slanted?
@@rupalpatel9301 yes, I keep my paddle slightly open to clear the net
should you also be practicing the net at 34 inches instead of 36?
The net near the posts are 36in and the middle is 34in
could you show more backhand speed up?
More wall drills please
Thanks for the comment! Will do
An orange ball would be easier to see. Good video
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the tips
Thanks for the comment. I hope the drills help
Link not working
Which link?
All good
Thank you!
What does 3 sets of 60 seconds mean exactly?
That means you’ll do the 60-second activity for 3 times. Hope that helps!
Great instructional video
Thank you!
Hand eye drill
Thanks for the comment!
speed up drill
Thanks for the comment!
Noticed you are lifting your body as you hit the ball which you should avoid. Only your shoulder should do the work
Thanks for the comment
