Pickleball players spend a lot of time talking about the importances of dinks and third shot drops, however it's the quality of your returns that determines how easy or hard of a third shot you are giving to your opponent. The Return is the shot that gets played in almost every point and learning how to do a good return will help significantly improve your game! #pickleball #匹克球

Great video and analysis...thanks!
Thank you for tuning in and the kind feedback! Hope you like the other content on this channel, too!
This was a great video!! Thanks!
@@stevealldredge7489 thank you for your kind feedback!
Your breakdowns of stroke mechanics is masterful. Great job. I’m sure your wife is cool with your videos 😂
Thank you for the kind feedback, I’m very glad that you found this helpful. Haha, this was a risky video.
😂😂
I'm close to 6'5" tall and I'm not a spring chicken. My technique is to wait for the serve in a low crouch, so that I can barely see the contact point of the ball over the top of the net cord. This allows me to assess spin and depth far sooner, using the net cord as a visual aid.
It's a very deep crouch and looks a bit weird for such a tall guy, but I have great results with this. I could be a lot lazier with lower level opponents, but I prefer to maintain this technique for the rare opponent with a vicious service game, where I really need it.
I stand with one foot slightly ahead of the other foot, in case I have to bolt for a short serve that lands barely past the kitchen line-usually the outside corner, sometimes with also a spin that kicks to the outside. Even with a lightning first step, it's quite the race to get to a ball that lands not much past the NVL, right on the outside line, then also kicks further sideways, off court, with also less than a normal bounce.
Thx for sharing, crouch helps you to move faster
I'm roughly a 3.75 and my return is probably my strongest skill. When the serve is hard and deep, to either corner, I can usually kick it back to within 2 feet of the opponent's baseline, which they don't like. By the midpoint of the game, they have usually switched to serving me short, giving me a fast sprint to the NVL. I can't hit the ball as consistently to the same depth on the run to a short ball.
The video I actually need is how to better attack short serves that only go to midcourt.
Thank you again for your very detailed video analysis.
Glad that you found this helpful!
Terrific video! Tks for posting!!
Thank you for the feedback, glad that you enjoyed it!
I think one of the biggest things people over look is keeping their eye on the ball as they make contact on the return.
True and I can’t agree more, I do that myself too.
YUP! I can identify with that. There are times when I watch the ball ALL the way to the paddle and still miss; sometimes I don't, and I hit it better. So many variables to this game. . . . . . . . ....

I enjoyed this video! 👍🏻🙌
Awesome! Thank you!
Very good analysis and very helpful as well 👍
Thank you! Glad that this analysis was useful for you!
Amazing breakdowns.
Thank you for the kind feedback!
Really good analysis thank you
Glad you liked it! Much appreciate it!
The return of serve is perhaps , if done correctly, the most impactfull shot in Pickle-Ball . It creates multiple advantages . It can keep your opponents pinned back on their heals at their baseline , making their 3rd. shot that more difficult for them , while , at the same time , allowing you to easily have enough time to establish yourself at the NVZ Line along side your partner . Once there , you are in highly advantaged position to receive & attack your opponents 3rd. shot ( which you already made more difficult for them ) and enable you remain at NVZ Line & continue to press and keep your opponents back at their baseline . No other shot can accomplish all that so easily !
Completely agree!
An update : His wife saw this video. His funeral is arranged for next week 😜
Still alive! :D
Appreciate the analysis.
Watch your wife's eyes and face, she is not watching the ball as it contacts her paddle and keeps her eyes on where she returning it. That can lead to a lot of miss hits.
I will let her know thank you!
Thank you for the input, I think my eyes were on the contacting point, but my footwork and swing was not good enough, specifically that player had great serves, even my husband missed some too 😂usually I don’t miss returns in my games or won’t be more than two.
Gotcha on those being tough serves. If you watch top athletes, they generally have their head turned focusing on the contact point. Your eyes may be on the contact point but it appears your head is only partially turned. I'd suggest focusing on being more deliberate with your head, and not just your eyes. I think you will find it improves your returns. Watch your hubby's head, it may be that he can also benefit.
Have fun!
I like the content's structure & analysis. You should try to use shorter/ crisp and straight to the point sentences. Was almost falling asleep listening to you.
Thx for the feedback
Very good analysis, considering you don’t have a tennis background. Everything was spot on. What software do you use for analysis of your game play?
Thank you for the feedback, really appreciate it! I use Final Cut Pro
footwork
Definitely important part of it
FOUR HUNDRED RETURNS
Haha, you speak the truth. 400 it has to be!
Great analysis! Most of us are trying to "kill" the ball with a big swing during return which is an overdo and gains little benefit at this level. The foremost goal for return is to be consistently deep , creating difficulties for your opponent's 3rd shot and earning more time for us to get to the kitchen quickly. I need to practice my return too. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the kind feedback, I agree with you that most of us at our level myself included are probably overdoing our return which actually makes our return inconsistent. I’m glad that you found this analysis helpful!
That’s true 😂
@@denniswei1983I agree, after the adjustment recently as Kobla said that just push the ball instead a big swing on it, getting much better and get to the kitchen very fast as well.
3.7 with this return?
Excellent analysis of the players.
I believe your wife will benefit from watching your thorough breakdown of the swings.
She might get a little upset but I again believe she will over come it. Hopefully. Lol
Thank you for the kind feedback, glad you found this helpful! Haha yeah maybe she will be a little upset, hopefully it’s going to help her in the long run!
😂not upset about it, coz he does the same. But you are right, my swing is too much that my coach always said, maybe the player had big serve, so I was overdoing it
On the point about hitting the ball with the tip of the paddle, i recently heard that players hit with the tip when they're trying to generate power similar to hitting a baseball with the end of the bat vs the middle.
If you watch all the pro slow mos they all hit with the tip. Great video all around
Thank you. I would be interested to see if someone does a study to compare the power loss due to not hitting sweet spot vs hitting the ball with end of the paddle
