TBH the most fun pickleball channel I’ve seen so far everyone is enjoying themselves
Thanks for watching. We do have a good time.
@@thatpickleballguy no problem. The instruction is fluid and doesn’t feel forced. I’ve tried to incorporate your tip of calling shots with doubles partners but no one wants to get bossy with a stranger. Any tips on helping them and myself overcome the shy and awkward factor?
These are great tips - one additional concept - if you make them run or you hit to their feet (low) - they will have to hit "low to high" and that might mean a pop up for you to attack or speed up point.
Yes. Well said!
Your videos are great! I am just playing rec PB at my local park, but I try to play with higher rated players. I watch one of your videos and then go out and focus on applying the skills I watched that day. Huge help, totally upping my game! Thanks!
That's amazing!! so glad it's helpful!
I am playing my first singles game this weekend which also is a tournament! Stay tuned!
Thanks for the pointers.
Let's goo!! Good luck
Did you get smoked?
Great tips! I love playing singles vs. doubles..... I just wish my knees could agree with me. lol
Heard that! Lol it’s hard!
Solid sound advice while being entertaining. Love the backyard court as well. 📹🔥
Thank you!!
Just started last month and these videos are clutch. Got spanked in singles last week against a 4.5 looking to use the tools and get him this week
Let's go! Get him back!
Thanks. This is helpful as I am playing my first singles tourney today.
Lets go! How did the tournament go!?
First person I ever beat in singles was non other then the man the myth the legend himself the greatest 3.5 player in the world ThePickleballStudio
Easy money. We all beat him though. Time to level up.
Always enjoy your vids. Thanks!
Absolutely!
First person I beat was a buddy of mine, Tony Dawson. We bought some cheap paddles at TJ Maxx, and after watching your rules videos a few times, went out to our Salvation Army courts and got started. Now we’re both obsessed! 😂
Love to hear it! Have fun out there!
Man great stuff! Found PB a coupla years ago and love it! Had to unlearn a lot of tennis but has been a lot of fun. Hoping to find some singles games soon.
Thanks for wacthing!
Thanks for the lesson, Kyle! My BFF and I played for the first time today and this video was so helpful! Such a fun game! 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
You’re videos are fantastic. Please keep these rolling!!
Thank you. Definitely will keep creating.
Great advice!
Awesome. Glad it helped!
❤ your vids, best Ive seen so far
Glad you enjoy them!
Great videos for a newbie to the sport!
Awesome. glad it was helpful
Thanks for the content, taking it to the courts. Cheers Guapo. 🍻
Any time!
I appreciate your videos man! Good content and helping me get better
Thanks man! Glad they're helping!
I used to think down the line is a good service return to easily hit the next volley. I think I have the opposite view now. If you go crosscourt, there is more margin for error to hit it in and deep. You drag the opponent wide. Hopefully you have enough time to get to the net to cover the down the line and hit it into the open court.
I like that!!
The first person I beat was my friend Mike. We played three games and I won 2 out of 3. 😊👍
Nice! Have fun out there!
Thank you for the video 👍
Thanks for watching!
Sweet video
Thanks!
Good lesson, it’s funny the grunts that you do when you hit the ball tho
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video
Fantastic!
Glad it was helpful!
Haven't played singles yet. Courts aroung here are always packed and you get the stink-eye if you play singles.
It definitely can be difficult from that standpoint. Have to try to go on the off hours (if there are any)
Every time you hit I hear a little “Aw😩” … Aw😏
Hi Kyle! I’ve just started learning pickleball. Having no sport background I can’t serve! I watched your tutorial. I practice last two days. I’m beginning to get them going the right direction however, they are still too long. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Agreed, great, helpful content.
Have courage and control the net!
What's "serve big"?
Kyle, share with us how to practice by ourselves. Please, I am as new as somebody can be, and I am committed to becoming great and have no partner to train and play whenever I have the chance to squeeze myself in one of the local meet up groups, help please, and thank you in advance.
Great question. My friend Shea actually made a great video on this. th-cam.com/video/cJYe6sO7Bic/w-d-xo.html
So, in singles does the person returning have more of an advantage than the person serving?
Yes, because of the two-bounce rule. The server has to wait for the return to bounce, allowing the returner to get to the net first.
The Slev 🤗
Can you take a few steps before you make contact with the ball on your serve? Or do you have to be in a set stance?
On the serve atleast one foot has to be on the ground and your feet have to be behind the baseline
Thanks!@@thatpickleballguy
I take a step or two sometimes to change it up!
Great video. Thanks for putting this together
If you want a workout. You play as a single against two as doubles. You get two serves just like your opponents. Of course, no cheating, you gotta cover the whole court. If you can beat them, they are probably less than 3.0 and you are probably a 3.5 or better. When players get to a 3.0 or better, they move you around too much. I did this a few times a while ago when my knees were better.
That's a great idea!
Cooper
I didn't fully understand the last tip. What is a drop shot?
Basically. Instead of trying to hit a hard shot passed your opponent. Try hitting a softer shot that lands into the kitchen area! Then come up to the net afterward to apply pressure to your opponent!

Hi
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
sweet..............ed🤪
Wh, that ball is plastic not regular tennis ball? I played this for years more before this is even inveted but with tennis ball regular ans without that part "kitchen".
Rob
Nino.
Where is the video for solo rules? There was none where you pointed
Ahh, going to fix that. here it is - th-cam.com/video/OtsQU2bA-QY/w-d-xo.html
Corbin😂
First is easy. My wife. 😂. The real question should be how many people have beaten you? Which is a lot. Including my wife. 😅
Oo yeah. Lots have beaten me :)
Ok great video…but I can’t actually believe both of these guys are grunting while hitting a whiffle ball😂
Thanks for watching!
Also, how can the non-serving player win the point? Only the serving player wins the point...
Yep only the player serving can win a point. If the player not serving wins the rally. they take over the serve and now they can score points!

"Send it to their backhand" only applies to tennis players. Don't try it with badminton or pingpong players.
Tip 6, dont grunt
:)
"Uha" "Aha" "Uha" "Aha"
Ohh Ahh ohh OHH Ahh ehhh xd
Must you moan when you play? Thanks for the info!
Yes. :)
@@thatpickleballguy you are funny 😄
The moaning after every hit 💀
Obnoxious
My husband and I are going to play for the first time tomorrow morning - I’m watching this while he’s getting ready for bed. I’m gonna destroy him
Lets go!!!!!
Dude your swing is too long that's why you got more error and not steady
Yeah, I gotta get better at that!
Why you guys ruining this with the moaning. It’s unbearable
Wont happen again
Love the moaning after each hit 😩
