Great instruction, thank you. Takeaways: Loose grip, Contact point in front about knee height, use shoulder, don’t take the ball on the rise, constant swing speed - shot is a “push” (vs accelerating).
Great video.. She generates a lot of top spin with her stroke...loves the way she emphasizes that her shot is really the same from a dink to a drop...awesome video
I’ve been playing for less than a year, LOVE the game! I’ve been trying to improve my shots and technique from watching TH-cam videos. Recently found yours and have learned SO MUCH! Thank you for the great instruction videos.
One of the better instruction videos I've seen. Nicely done and very informative in a concise pleasant presentation. Thanks. I'm gonna use this drill right away.
It was so great to see you both play in person at nationals last week! One of the things I noticed Simone in your play against the Newmans as you played with Kyle Yates was that you did the lion's share of the work for your team at the net with the soft short shots and then resets from the transition zone. Your body position was nearly the same with the key factor being your buoyancy and effectiveness with staying low to the ground keeping your knees bent and striking the ball on the rise. I had a perfect seat to do this as I was one of the line judges for that match. Amazing experience. Could you talk about what you recommend for us mere mortals to build our lower body strength for endurance and explosiveness when needed? Appreciate you!
Got to meet both of you in Indian Wells. Outstanding players and you both represent what is the best of Pickleball on and off the court. Look forward to coming down to Fla and getting some first hand instruction Again, these continue to be the best drill and skill videos on You Tube. Keep em coming.
Simone, you are one step ahead of me! I was recently watching Parenteau in a tournament and noticed how few of her 3rd shot drops are attacked. I said I'm going to watch some video on her 3rd shot and study how to copy it. What do you know, you posted the video for me to do exactly that! Thank you!
This was so helpful. Thanks! Do you have any good drills to help players learn to hit most of their balls through the "window" (no higher than the height of a paddle) above the net?
Is the third shot always aim the kitchen? Or is it better to hit deep to the opponent. Or is it depends whether it's doubles or singles thank you and I always enjoy your tips
I just started on Dec 3, 2022. I come from a table tennis background. How do we maintain the paddle? I always clean it with just water after all games. Is that necessary?
Since the shot is more of a constant speed push vs accelerating stroke, the eastern forehand or continental grip is better for control. Semi western needs acceleration to generate topspin given the face angle.
Catherine's Backhanded drops are ideal. She's slowing the pace of the ball and letting it DROP into the kitchen. Her forehand is not as effective as she's kinda flipping the ball back. Any ball with pace or spin will likely go into the net. Watch Tennis players on their drop shots and see what they do..
I’m new to this sport, and was wondering what is the difference between a wooden racket and the carbon ones?( not talking about price and weight). Also I see there are different color balls, does each color mean something?
Great instruction, thank you. Takeaways: Loose grip, Contact point in front about knee height, use shoulder, don’t take the ball on the rise, constant swing speed - shot is a “push” (vs accelerating).
There are a lot of average to good videos on TH-cam, but I think your videos are by far the best and most complete. Great job again.
Best 3rd shot drill I've seen and I've watched many. Thanks ladies.
One of the best teaching videos ever.
So clear, straight to the task and great demos
Thank you make more!!!!

Another fantastic video, Simone. Thank you for bringing in Catherine, as well. Well done.

I really enjoy all of Simone's videos! Thank you!
Thank you Simone and Catherine.
Outstanding information here regarding the most critical shot for high level players👍
Excellent video gals. Thank you. I am having problems with the third shot drop galore from the base line. I will practice that drill.
Thank you for this great video on how to drill.
Great drill !! Nice tips from 2 of the best players out there !!
You two ladies make drilling fun! I so very much enjoyed my training sessions with the Academy this past winter.
Was thinking the exact same thing! Very glad to have found this channel today.
Thanks coach Parenteau! Great instructions, just started a month and half ago and I learned my third shot drop from this video. Again thank you!
Makes it look soooooh easy. But it absolutely isn't easy. Great drills
Tks!
Fantastic explanations!! Simone and Friends is great!!
Love this video! Exactly what I need. Thank you!!! ❤❤❤
Struggling a bit lately with my 3rds here in Jan 2021. This is still a very good video. Thanks for the help Catherine and Simone.
Loved this video. You both gave great pointers on what to look at and when to advance or move back on dinks. Thank you both!
Great video. Loved watching you both at Nationals!
Awesome lessons!! Thanks heaps!

Catherine does a very good job explaining this skill. The drill makes good sense too.
Watching advanced players at tournaments do this drill and this video explained it perfectly.
Love your Video. My game has improved just by me watching your video and of course doing those drills you recommend thank you so much
Love it! Great insight and techniques from two great gals - Simone and Catherine :-)
Great drill practice, thank you ladies so much. well done!
Very good, fun to watch
Loved seeing the point play out at 6:58

This was awesome.
Very good drill thanks
Excellent tips!
This was really good!!!!

Simone and Catherine would make an amazing competitive time 🥇
♥️♥️♥️ Pickleball from San Diego
Nice video thank you.
Great, specific advice, thank you!! It looks like Catherine's forehand was topspin and the backhand was a slice, is this typically the case?
Great vid
I'd like to see these two ladies on the same team 👍
You both need to do a training clinic (camp)!! 💕
This was so helpful. Thanks! Do you have any good drills to help players learn to hit most of their balls through the "window" (no higher than the height of a paddle) above the net?
Nice.
Great video! Just curious what ball you are using? I think I know, nice pop to it. Thanks!

Great videos. I want to ask which grip is best for the 3 shot drop. The semi western or a continental.
I second this question.
Since the shot is more of a constant speed push vs accelerating stroke, the eastern forehand or continental grip is better for control. Semi western needs acceleration to generate topspin given the face angle.
Catherine's Backhanded drops are ideal. She's slowing the pace of the ball and letting it DROP into the kitchen.
Her forehand is not as effective as she's kinda flipping the ball back.
Any ball with pace or spin will likely go into the net.
Watch Tennis players on their drop shots and see what they do..
I’m new to this sport, and was wondering what is the difference between a wooden racket and the carbon ones?( not talking about price and weight). Also I see there are different color balls, does each color mean something?
How do you avoid feet injuries with pickleball in general.
You gals are very good.
What kind of racquet do each of you have?
GRACIAS
I practice working my way forward rather than backing up.
You must not have watched until they did the 2nd drill.
Great video but difficult to hear voices with background noise. Perhaps time for some wireless mics!
Can somebody list these ladies' paddles? I'm color blind.
Hmmm, I don't think many of those third shot drops would make it over the revolutionary new IPTPA training aid the Apex.
"Simonee"
I don’t understand the one about the deeper dinks. 😢
Simonee? I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it with an extra e.
