Tyler is SPOT on with his insistence to keep the paddle loose and let the paddle do the work. Just like life: Just let it go! I like your unique style of teaching. (I was a teacher for 30 years) Keep it up!
Yes, yes, help us think outside the box before getting on the court ! perfect! it's a quick game. I can't analyze what went wrong during the game .we need to know cause and effect before the game , not just "do this" one suggestion please move the camera a little to the side of the court so we can see the results of your swings rather than just your back. Keep them coming very, very informative. Thank you so so much!!
Excellent tips!! Finally someone who speaks my language. If one doesn't allow their 'beast mode' to explode, you will forever be the one opponents will aim to as they know whatever you return, it will not be a killer, unless you miraculously/ accidentally drop a net shot. You need to be 'agressive' when the situation calls for but you can't if you have never attempted that release your beast mode, don't worry if it's not your best, eventually your body mechanics will adjust.
This video is $$$. I agree that it will definitely help take the average player to the next level if they’re willing to put in the time. Why? Because 90% of amateur games are not won, but lost due to unforced errors. The unforced errors are created by bad mechanics. If you want to correct them, you gotta drill baby drill. This video will show you WHAT to drill. 👍
As a former squash player, the one-handed backhand was my least concern from day one. My volley game was for the birds, but my one-handed backhand was clearing the net by inches every time.
For an entire summer of regular play, I stuck with a deep serve that was basically a giant dink, with nearly identical mechanics. Then when it came time to incorporate a 3rd shot drop, it was no problem at all. It was basically just halfway between my muffin serve and my dink. You serve a lot, so this was a good way to get a _lot_ of practice, in game, at the mechanics I would later adapt to my 3rd shot drop. Another nice thing about the muffin is that it was easy to calibrate the distance to land in the last two feet of the service court nearly every time, which helped me master consistency. What I learned, though, is that there are some bangers who can hit this higher bounce hard enough to drive it right through some of my partners at the net, from 30 feet away. Around the same time I began to use a 3rd shot drop consistently, I changed my serve to a low, heavy topspin drive. Then a different weird pattern emerged. When I get manage to unload especially heavy top, the opponent feels slightly handcuffed, and fights it back over the net, short, usually to my partner. Then my partner takes a step or two forward and smokes the ball into the net. They don't see the opponent applying any top, but it comes back with top anyway, carried over from heavy serve.
I should add that there's a problem with mastering the 3rd shot drop in actual game play, especially in open rec. As soon as I started to hit my drop consistently, all the service returns start to go to my partner, who isn't using a good 3rd shot drop. We don't have enough facilities here to support stratified play. If I hadn't practiced my drop in the form of my muffin serve, it would have taken ages to get the same amount of experience with that mechanic in game play. I'm talking here in particular about dealing with swirling winds, too. A big part of my muffin serve regime was carefully observing the wind sock.
Yes you are. Are you thinking of the trial rule the PPA is using? That’s purely a PPA rule, not even other people leagues use it. And it definitely doesn’t apply to Rec players. USAP determines the rules Rec players use.

Let’s go thanks so much I appreciate it. Yes, there are multiple levels that you have to play in terms of intensity.

I think I finally found a pb channel that makes sense to me and speaks my language.
Amazing! Stay tuned for more videos!
Thank you for the tips. Letting it go is a mind game. Its a work in progress always
Absolutely!
Tyler, thank you for posting this helpful video!
No problem! I am glad you enjoyed!
Excellent video! Thank you 😊
You're very welcome!
Awesome stuff! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!

squash players are deadly in pickleball !
Great info. Thx.

the drop is key! Tyler loves using topspin
Great video!
Thank you!
It’s so much help me.
watch again and take notes!
What's paddle is that
Selkirk control air!
you’re not allowed to toss the ball up when serving
Yes you are

Maybe those 90% work for a living, and only want to just play the game. Maybe 90% live in locations where lessons are limited or not accessible.
thats why you have our TH-cam:)!!!
