“Stop aiming for the player”!! Yes 👍 So frustrating when you send the ball right back to your opponents! Hit the ball where they are not... make them move 😊 So many great points you made! Thank you!!
Clarity simplicity quality of vocal n visual makes for compelling videos. I’ve learned so much by looking n listening to understand play n social parameters of the game.🎾🥊
I love your videos. So clear and easy to follow. I've learned so much from you in the past three weeks I've been playing. (Yes I'm a newbie). Thank you.
This video was very helpful. I am borderline 3.0 PB player. I have been stuck at the 2.7 rating since September. I think I need targeted instruction and a critique of my game to determine what I need to improve on. I have a tennis background...I know I need to work on my short game and strategy. Would that help get me to 3.0 and beyond? I have been playing for about 7 mos now. Thanks

I noticed you were standing in between the kitchen and the baseline when you were returning those hard smacks, but when you should you run all the way to the baseline, or when is standing in the middle ok
Great question. I may put this question into a future video because it's an important concept to understand. But it's all about the ability of your opponent. If you know your opponent can get really good shots at your feet, then you're likely going to stay back. But also, if the ball is really high over the net, then you definitely need to get back. It's a complicated subject so it's hard to explain over text.
The three points from the video: 1. Footwork. Get back into a balanced state after you hit the ball. 2. Learn to take pace off your opponent's shots. 3. Don't give them easy shots. Move them around the court so that they don't get the chance!

Agreed - only advanced players can aim for the shoulder (jam) or at their feet.
gr8 training vid as usual! "feet first swing later" is my 2nd fave quote of yours, the 1st is "the paddle will take car of it".
Thanks man!
Really well done video with many on point demonstrations. Excellent video editing with a listed summary at the end.

These are great tips which I wanna practice to get to next level. Thankyou
Question, while watching tournament games, I noticed that advanced players rarely serve "aces". Why? Are they just trying to avoid risk?
It’s very difficult to serve an ace in PB. So most don’t bother and go for percentages instead
Can you come to Indonesia to train us?

Sir, this is a tennis court.
She seems annoyed constantly chasing the ball. 😅
