i got yelled at for "speeding up" at my local rec center. i came from tennis and didnt know to play soft. Now i know haha i was told im "playing the game wrong"
But you’re not tho, wtf is this “stop trying at all” bs. Obvs if you’re playing with lesser skilled players sure tone it down a bit but anyone who is close I ain’t going soft on
When my buddies and wives started (all over 50), I thought it would be a nice workout and some fun. However, one guy play college football and is extremely competitive. It’s now sort of a death match scenario when we all get together to play. Not much fun at the beginning, but now after a few months, the skill level has really gone up and we are having a lot of fun. Most importantly is that everyone is on the same page.
Find somewhere else to play
It’s part of the game just like getting decked in football or dunked on in basketball. Disrespectful but part of the game. Softees just have to learn to deal with it.
So lesser players don’t like you’re better?
Keep up the great videos guys! Very well edited, speaking, demos, information. You're on your way to the top of pickleball channels!
Man, this vid explains so much strategy that activates my doubles tennis-loving neurons. Thanks! Subscribed :)
That poach fake out tip is gold. Great video!
This video is great. Ya’ll explain things way better and easier than other influencers. Not to mention the b-roll demonstration that doesn’t even seem like acting. Honestly, I’m just super impressed with how much effort was put into this video. Bravo.
Great Information! Along with that, your video editing is right on. Many, many other video coaches explain the technique, then show a piece of video that doesn’t actually show it happening. Thank you!
This video has been extremely real. Not just ideas, but reality of what happens. I can use these tips and will look for player patterns, imbalances of how a team plays together, player preferences for shots and nerves around the kitchen and characteristics much more. I do not expect instant success but will have to educate myself as I play real games knowing I may get beat incorporating your tactics. Really great stuff.
This is so true. Improving is uncomfortable at first but so worth it in the long run. Glad you found this helpful!!
What a great video. I could have used some of these strategies when I played yesterday.
Thank you! You’ll have them in the bag for next time 👍
Thank you for a concise video of good tips.
Poach like hell and hit it hard 100% using topspin and knife slices when possible. Play like you’re a tennis dbbls partner. Become that guy!
The title of this video should be, "Master Class, Part 1: How to be a pickleball monster." Thank you, coaches, for your great tips!
This is a great video! You focused on simplicity with your breakdowns and avoiding being too nuanced so your video could be immediately useful to a wider audience. I assume your comment about forehand takes the middle was for open play where it might be too complicated to explain the “x concept”. You do mention later about what if 1 player is left handed, but I just wanted to confirm that you believe for higher level play that the “x concept” supersedes “forehand takes middle”. I personally love taking advantage of opponents who adhere to forehand takes middle. So easy to pick on the player with forehand in the middle when they are straight across from you. Keep up the great work, I am a fan.
Great strategies and tactics!
Thanks!
With a lefty and right handed player are together, do you recommend stacking for beginner to intermediate players (to keep both forehands to the center)? And then play to the X ?
Question. I started playing recently. I've played 6 days, probably 30 games. It was drilled into me how the kitchen is off limits, and the rules thoroughly explained. So why is it that when watching the men's doubles championship games in Naples recently, online, they kept stepping into the kitchen, and it was never called? And I mean very clearly, 1 foot entirely in the kitchen while scooping a shot. I saw it happen a dozen times, all very obvious, and none were called. Am I missing something?
The kitchen is actually called the “non-volley zone” which means you just can’t hit a ball out of the air in the zone. Youre free to step in there and hit a ball that bounces in the kitchen though! It actually makes dinks much easier! You just can’t volley while a foot is in the zone
Very cool advice and funny, you guys is the best.
The fussing at the end of points 😂😂
Pickleball is America's fastest-growing sport and we like it #Pickleball
Hey good video. Question- when your volleying up at the net do you use an eastern or a continental grip? Or do you switch for a forehand and the backhand?
Interesting that at least one of you use a one handed topspin dink/speedup off the bounce. Would be great to do a video on that if you havent already. Im transitioning to 2hbh and have the 1hbh speed up off the air that i use regularly, but have always felt that the 1hbh bounce speed up klmight be worth developing even if most pros dont use it....it just seems hard to keep the ball of the bounce in front of you enough but maybe its just a footwork issue
Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I play in a INT ladder
league. Decent players but little strategy. If I were to suggest such actions like poaching, it would not be well received.
Guys, excellent vid. Lots to unpack there. I need to find a partner that loves pickleball as much as me and is willing to work at it. Subscribed.
How do you train to anticipate lob? What are the signs and what precaution should be taken to return it ?
This is Shea, I’m not great at reading lobs to be honest. I primarily look for paddle angle and backswing. If they are really beneath the ball and have a bigger than normal backswing, it’s likely a lob. However it’s quite easy to disguise a lob as a regular dink so it’s difficult to know. Caleb might have a better answer for you!
I'm no one to give advice yet, but I can say that it's almost impossible to predict a lob because there is no real differentiating body language prior to the shot. But the adjustment I made to react is that as soon as I recognize a deep lob, I abort any attempt to hit it from underneath, and I immediately hurry back to get behind it. There, I can watch to see if it lands out, and if not, return it accordingly. Because before that, I'd lose time trying to track it and determine if I wanted to return it from up high. Steps are precious.
So I just assume it's a tough shot, scurry back, get behind it, and wait for it to drop. I'm also 5'9, so I don't have a height advantage.
Wonderful job guys!!!!!
Great tips....love it
Excellent video! Thanks.
Didn’t see any mention of long high lob that forces your opponent back when they are close to the kitchen
Topspin lob is deadly.
I just started playing today and I never could figure out how to keep my lob in the court.
Not only do they force them back, but its surprising how many times they will whiff entirely.
I use speed ups at local rec play when I'm playing 3.5's and above
I good stare at the server and trying to make them not laugh works for me!

I like these guys
Go to a PPA tournament with Shea. ill play 4.5 with you. trust me its really fun
Right shoulder if opponent is right handed. Correct?
Yes
Yes that’s true!
they should have said dominant shoulder ....
Just wanted to confirm. Less than a year in and totally hooked on this sport.
Do you have any concerns of hitting opponents into face when targeting their shoulder ? In tennis that would bad sportsmanship I var majority of cases.
Definitely be careful, that’s why we recommend only doing this in a match where others expect it. Pickleball is more close quarters than tennis and hitting the head can happen more often. Just don’t be intentional about it!
What about the 2-bounce rule? Do yall just not use that rule?
Good stuff for smart play. I like your fake arguments after mistakes, lol.
Why hit towards right shoulder as opposed to left shoulder?
Sooooo, if these beat 99% of players, have you won every championship? Which ones?
Use speed-ups except when you don't want to win. Gotcha.
Great video but did you really say don’t use the speed up at the rec level?! If you meant don’t try to take their head off with the speed up I agree.
Depends on the type of rec play 🤷♂️
But in general we mean control your power so you don’t injure people who aren’t prepared for it
Ah gotcha. Yeah, I agree with that. If it’s a weaker player I don’t slam overheads at them or try to drive balls at full speed through them. Thanks for clarifying 👍🏻
Knowing how to be a top player is a bit different from BEING a top player. Hahaha, I'm 77.
I just want to know how you got Tryon all to yourself...
We paid off everyone 😂
Please remember you cannot use Tryon Park for commercial purposes.
Use speed ups to win don’t use speed ups to be nice to the 60 year old
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15)
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (Revelation14:9-11)

These guys look like they haven’t done anything else in life.
