No color coordination. My GF accused me of that and when i showed Johns to her, she appreciated my sense being a bit better :P

    2:00 "He hit the net. As long as it lands in the kitchen, we will re-serve it." At the Denver Open a few weeks ago, I asked a PPA person (probably a short term volunteer, but looked pretty official) about that- if we amateurs were going to do lets since we were playing in a PPA event. She said "There are no longer let serves- for anyone. If the ball lands in, you play it." Then I watched about a dozen pro matches, and of course, they replayed net serves. PPA might want to let their people know about this, and my question is still out there: If you're an amateur playing in a PPA event, do you re-serve net serves?

    • @pickleballer1729
      @pickleballer1729 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@darkslidebs I actually think that rule being different for the pros is OK, since they have refs to determine whether a ball hit the net. As an amateur, before the rule change, I got into a few disagreements about whether the ball hit the net or not. It was never a big issue for us, as we were casual players. I just wanted to make sure for the tournament, since we had refs to make that call.

    • @walliegirl2
      @walliegirl2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tennis is so much simpler when it comes to the rules as compared to pickleball. You can do just about anything but have a foot fault when serving.

    • @pickleballer1729
      @pickleballer1729 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@walliegirl2 True. And that's one of those things that is both good and bad. Tennis, being simpler (but mostly because it's centuries old and very well established) seldom has to plague its players with new rules changes. On the other hand, the more complex rules of Pickleball, mainly centering around the kitchen, make for a more intricate, and imo, more interesting game. Either way, Pickleball, with its tremendous growth rate and big money just coming into the game form sources that want to see certain trends in play, is bound to have some changes in the rules for the next few years.

      Bouncing around so much is counterproductive. Light on your feet is good but Ig's constant movement looks like anxious energy. Players like Ben and JW have calm focused energy on court and it's more productive for pickleball.

    TH-cam interrupted this match to insert ads at: 1:50, 5:14, 11:48, 18:26, 24:35, and 28:35. That's 6 times in just the first 30 minutes. C'mon. guys, we get that ads are necessary, but could you keep it to a reasonable level? BTW, in going back to confirms these times, I found that they did not come up in the replay. I think I might try just letting the video run while doing something else, and then come back and rewind it to watch.

      Thanks for explaining! I was really curious (and annoyed TBH) to see this guy LIVING in his partners territory, especially since the other pair were not doing this. As a newbie watching to learn, it's great to hear why this is done. Without that context it would seem like he just doesn't trust his partner.

      True, but the other side doesn’t win. Lol! Anna Bright seems like she is the lead in the court and since she is not physically as strong as James, or Ben, they don’t usually win the finals.
      Anna and James are involved and I would guess that she’s in charge there too.
