    Great tips, but EVEN BETTER video style! Longer action sequences .vs the quick cut in-the-chair talking points. Great job, and thanks for the fantastic lesson!

    I work on my dinks, drops and resets about every day but I am frustrated by how few people in rec play use them. These are finesse shots that take some effort to perfect and few people want to put in the sweat equity to add them to their game. Thanks for the tips.

      Yep. Rec play might as well be called Smashball most of the time

      But why are YOU frustrated? If they don’t practice these shots while you do, you have an upper hand against them. If when you play these finesse shots in a rec game and a lot of times the outcome is not to your satisfaction, maybe you should figure out why that is the case.

    • @toddzilla5111
      @toddzilla5111 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's because pickleball requires neither effort nor finesse. Consider your 'sport' and those who take this 'game' up. I would suggest taking up a sport where people actually make an effort and have a sliver of skill and coordination. Just a thought.

    Excellent explanation. I've seen others say to follow through to the other shoulder on the drop but I prefer your straight line approach and see players use it successfully. Where to place the drop during doubles would also be helpful. Not sure if you mentioned to have a much looser grip for drops/resets/dinks.

    Great video. This is the shot that sets pickleball, because of the kitchen rule, aside from tennis. I'm a pretty good 'basher' but to be a real pickleball player I wanna improve this one :) I think I definitely underestimated how much arc I gotta put on it.

    As usual, very good stuff, Connor! Never thought of the weight transfer as "rock forward." Excellent!
    I like how often you include drills to work on the technique. Keep up the good work!

    • @ttb1513
      @ttb1513 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I think drills are so important. Trying to work on things like dinking during a game is very difficult because there it may be many shots or even points before you (and not your partner) get more than one dink in a row so you can develop consistency and habits.

    @gmont66g 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    In rec play (around 3.0 and below), the drop simply isn't effective. Either you miss the exact landing, giving the opponent an attackable ball or even when perfectly placed it causes no trouble for a weaker player.
    IMO, the best approach in rec play is a low top spin drive to the middle or to the feet of the player approaching the net. Even if you don't win the point outright, they can only hit a defensive shot back to you.

    Unrelated question, your paddle looks so much larger than mine (Engage Pursuit MX) and those I see out in my Rec Play. Long & Wide. Are my eyes tricking me or is that one made special?

    Burning question (maybe do a video on this): how do you execute a drop when your opponent hits a deep, low drive on the second shot? Emphasis on low!

    • @isaacdrake
      @isaacdrake ปีที่แล้ว

      Drop your paddle. Lock your wrist. “Block” the ball and let their power bounce off your paddle. With a little practice on your paddle angle you can reset their crazy power top-spin drives and earn your way up to the net.

    When I do a drop from the baseline, I'm finding my ball is bouncing too high and the opponent has his way with the ball. And for sure I lose the majority of the points. Is there something I'm doing wrong with my drops, or do I need to finesse my drops even more?

    • @sunsioux444
      @sunsioux444 ปีที่แล้ว

      that is exactly why a lot of people don’t do the drop because if it’s high the opponent puts it away

    @sunsioux444 ปีที่แล้ว

    firm wrist, loose wrist! so hard to always know which to use. sometimes
    when I just try to punch the “banged ball” back sometimes it just drops dead in front of me. I noticed that you are straight in your elbow when resetting these balls, is that an important factor? some teachers say just absorb the speed of the paddle but for me the ball often just drops dead in front of me so usually I have to press forward, straightening the elbow .
    any advice?

    @ryanevelyn3813 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hitting a 003 with too much arc (but that still lands in the kitchen) will bounce high enough for a quick speed up for your opponent. I've played many people who hit these and its easy to put one at their feet while they are approaching the net. What would be your advice to avoid the ball bouncing too high here?

    I know I'm in the minority by using the "ping pong" grip. It works for me in most areas of my game. I watch Callan Dawson when I need inspiration to stick with this grip since it really helps with my blown out elbow. Connor your videos are very spot on for learning the game and improving.
