Thank you v much for these excellent drills Calvin. I will do them later this afternoon.

Awesome drills! Also the Oliver-Sport paddle has helped me refine my technique noticeably.

Simple and clear instructions 👍🏽 Awesome video ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Loved it!

One of the best wall drills on TH-cam. Thank you Calvin.

Excellent video, l like how you included everything in the end for the last drill. How many repetitions for each shot should we do when we practice?

Watch later

Congrats Calvin!

Way to GO , Calvin!! Wish I could have been there! Looks like a great time! Did I spy my big bro in one of the shots!? Congratulations!!

I play with a Ronbus R1. How would this paddle compare?

Calvin! I love my Brute! Hard hitting yet controlled. I’m looking forward to getting more playtime on it. A steal at $95 bucks!

Yes!!!! Gonna BRUTE it up this weekend!

Yay! The Brute is now available after about 4 years of getting the paddle made! You can see specs and buy yours here today: calvin-keeney.myshopify.com/products/the-brute-pickleball-paddle-by-calvin-keeney

Great video! Thanks Calvin this gives a sequence to follow just like a point unfolds.

It looks like you choke up on the paddle, do you?

I have been looking for a wall. Thanks for posting this. When I fined one I will have a some drills to practice.

Use a Slam Master! Much better than a wall drill. th-cam.com/video/QnJkqw1PSPQ/w-d-xo.html

Great demo

That big hitter looks like the guy on your new paddle!

I just started playing and I know these drills are going to help me in my development! Thanks for producing this insightful and most helpful instructional video. Best wishes for your continued success!!!

great!! I was just wondering about your grip? I have a habit of keeping my pointer where you are, but I'm always reminded of the proper grips

Thanks Calvin, great ideas and really liked #7 putting all together. Just starting out and beginning week 4...no lessons but tips from other players as I play...does help two days a week beginners/intermediates play on one court and the more advanced players on two others...

Thank you! I need to find a wall and practice.

How do you execute a third shot drop if the opponent hits their shot extremely hard, low, and deep? With emphasis on low?

hey, i really like your instruction...but i was noticing...looks like you are holding your paddle much like one would hold a ping pong paddle. am i correct on this? if so, i guess that's okay right?

Great video Calvin

👍

I feel your drives would be more consistent if you used your body rotation more. This allows a more relaxed swing giving more control. Body unwinds first, relaxed arm follows. You see this principle in all sports, baseball. Martial arts, table tennis etc.

Calvin, what's the difference between consistency and accuracy?

Thanks you both great detail video !!!!!

Appreciated! Much!

Awesome drills. 👍🏻👏👏👏🥰

The wall is always there! I set up a section of net 2ft. From the wall and drive a ball 20 ft away and on the return work on putting a drop between the wall and the net.

Calvin, you do a nice job explaining (without being too chatty) it and providing a slow motion breakdown of what you just discussed. And you're right, with a consistent release point, we'll know where the ball will rise back up to each time, and muscle memory will take over from there, as we practice. I like it.

Pickleball would be much more fun and would speed the game up if a point was rewarded to the team that won the point whether the team was serving or not. You could expand the scoring to 21 (or some other number) instead of 11. In a similar manner, this was done in volleyball where the rule was changed that a point was awarded to the team that won the point regardless of whether the team was serving or not. This rule change made the game much more fun to play volleyball because the game went faster. The same could be said for pickleball if the rule change went into effect. I did this while playing with my son and now we always play this way where a point is awarded for each serve to the person (or team) when we play together. Someone ought to request or propose this rule change.

Calvin, you are an AMAZING teacher!!

How could I expect to play *that many games in singles at 70yo? That’d just be TOO much! Better get running…. or just avoid tournaments

Continuing thru all yr vids. Looove to play SINGLES! Buuut canNOT find a game in NOCO.

Enjoyed: simple, straight to the point. Glad to be reminded of short swings. (Hitting it high is other-than best practice). Loved the mixup, tho I’ll serve from 22ft, and try to practice dinking coming *down at the wall. Subbed!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you Calvin. I basically learned how to play tennis on a wall, but had not yet figured out how to use the wall for pickleball. This is very very helpful!!!

Love this! Thank You!

Thanks Calvin! I asked once the IPTPA Level Two Certified Instructor if I should do some topspin or underspin on the third shot drop. The answer was, you try it out which works the better for you. I'd like the idea of toss the ball with a paddle as we do see some teaching videos ask starters to start with tossing the ball with hand to get an idea about the drop shot from the baseline. I am going to try it out.

Thanks for sharing the journey! How do you learn to play pickleball and go from there to get to 5.0 level?

Check out the Slam Master Practice/Training Paddle. Much better than wall drills! And before you dismiss it as looking easy - it's harder than it looks - especially volleys. The training is similar to a boxer practicing with a speed bag. You gain so much more paddle control. More variables than wall drills. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/M7IrubhkYbg/w-d-xo.html

This is just as useless as every other video on the third shot drop. You all are not at the base line and your opponent is at the non volley zone. I want to see a video on how to do a real third shot drop shot. So, you would always be behind the base line, your opponent would return a serve, then show me something!!!!!! I have found no video demonstrating this!!! So...well, I guess your telling me how to hit a drop shot...but from where you taught us...what good is it? Teach me a third shot drop as I described and the internet will love you. No one else can do it.
