I'd actually wanna argue that where you stand on the court has some influence on what spot are more readily available for your serve to take advantage of; for instance, when standing at 0-0 (1st Server) standing more towards the middle is great if you're VERY good at hitting straight down the middle for a T Serve with a lot of pace and/or topspin. However, it also makes it slightly harder for you to aim for those Sideline/Upper Angle Serves if you really wanna force your opponent out wide. Furthermore, closed stance is probably more preferable when you want to hit aforementioned down the middle serve when you take position at dead centerline of court. This is where I firmly believe Closed Stance is better as a whole, for angles and spin generation at least. Standing more towards the middle of your serving area is probably the overall best position on the court. It opens up a T Serve, both Corner Angle serves & the Sideline Serve. All without sacrificing much land resource before the point even starts! This can have your opponent already guessing where you may place the ball, and attempt to cheat over to one specific side a bit more than usual. The closed stance, at least in my personal experience playing: Pickleball, Tennis & Table Tennis, serves to have you activate your legs by torquing all the way through. Which activates: Core, Hips, Quads, Legs & your full follow-through motion (which I lovingly refer to as the 100% Unadulterated Forehand). In turn, this sequence would allow for some of the better pace on serves while maintaining a fairly strong topspin & being consistently either Deep, or hitting near Sideline to force them out wide. I'd go more in-depth, but that's a whole fun debate & I'm getting off work now xD
Excellent advice on the serve. Doubtful about moving forward while returning the serve. Most pros and coaches advise on planting the feet firmly as you hit the return, THEN move up
I am a fairly new player with some time off for health reasons,but I think you are very talented in your instructions in that you have great verbal skills and reinforce that with great videos with your sisters and friends. I Know you will be successful if you continue on your current path.Last but not least,thank you for your great insight to a wonderful game that brings good people together!!,Jay
Your videos are some of the best I've seen. You take your time to explain things and for every type of shot you create a numbered list of key things to focus on. I tell fellow pickleballers to check out your videos. Keep it up!
I’ve been playing for about 2 months now and your videos have improved my game a lot! You explain things the best I’ve seen and Kenadi is awesome too! I send these videos to all my friends getting into the game. Appreciate it!
I really like your approach to the serve and return in this video. I do work with beginner students a good percentage of who are in their 50's and later and I like promoting a stance that is somewhere between open and closed so that if you draw a line from the toe of your back foot to the front, that line aims towards the center line of the service box. I also like to turn the front foot more towards the target line so there is less side force applied. I have knee replacements in both right and left so perhaps I'm more sensitive to this. With this stance you server can move in a more linear direction and less rotationally which I think is easier and more consistent. I would love to hear your feedback to this approach.
Love your videos, some of the best pickleball content out there. I recently found a partner to start practicing with and we want to enter a league next season at our local place, curious if you have plans to do videos (or if I missed them) specifically on coordinated doubles tactics, using hand signals, etc. for those who haven't played doubles (tennis/pickleball) before. Also covering weaknesses, difference in skill(s) etc. Maybe could roll in info about picking a partner as well. I'm a lefty and we plan to stack on offense and defense, wondering if there are ever times we shouldn't, or if we should randomly choose not to to try and throw off opponents. As well as who should take middle when both forehands in the middle. Just some ideas, thanks!
I just watched a pro tournament in Vegas. None of the players were trying for service aces. It looked like they were just getting the ball into play. Nothing fancy.
Of the little I've seen, I would say most of the time I see better players put the ball into play rather than try for aces. It makes sense to me in that if you're trying for aces (esp. at rec level), you might be successful, but you might also be shortening the game. Most PB players I know want to PLAY rather than win. Winning can be nice, but having a competitive game regardless of winning is way more satisfying. Plus, you're likely making new friends and/or playing with old friends which I think encourages more friendliness and less win-oriented competitiveness.
as a beginner, I liked the step by step instructions for the serve. Can you do the same for how to hit a *back hand? also a forehand, but especially the back hand
Started playing PB about 8 months ago.... My last name is Hance and I never see anyone with that name... So hey cousin.. keep sending the videos... ;-)
Question on your hip rotation, Do you want the shoulder and hip to be rotating together, or do you want a bit more of the hip leading and shoulder trailing similar to a swinging of the bat? The later would create more power, but do you lose a certain amount of control? Good information, Thank you!
Great and informative video! Being a fairly new player I have really struggled incorporating spin into my serves. Some people from ping pong or tennis background pick it up quickly. But not having a back ground in either has made it difficult at least for me.
I am loving the content!! I have been sending these tips to my beginner player friends but am also continuing to learn with them myself. One question I have about moving on the return. I’ve heard different schools of thought on moving forward while returning. I myself have found I make more mistakes while doing this. Is there a method where you can sort of set yourself a little while also moving forward?
If you are having issues getting to the kitchen after your return, you may not be getting your returns deep enough. If they are in the back third and you are still not getting to the line, you can try a lob shot to give yourself more time but it has to deep. Otherwise, get up as far as you can until your opponent is about to hit the ball. As they make contact you stop and set your feet (split step) and prepare yourself to hit the ball. Repeat until you are at the line. There are lots of split step tutorials here on YT.
Thanks for the input! My return isn’t necessarily the issue nor is getting up to the kitchen. While I’ve been able to control it better as I play more, I still get the occasional arrant hit off my paddle and it mostly occurs as I am moving forward to hit it.
Very good vid. Interestingly i don't see any vids where instructors cover grips and points of contact. When I first started I was using a continental grip but was hitting at too low a low angle (fearing an illegal serve) which caused my forearm to be too torqued at contact and i lost a lot of control as I rotated over. To combat that i switched to a frying pan grip and, taking a page from cornhole toss, served using a topspin heavy arching brush-up motion with a lot of wrist whip (not quite a full lob) - which i found works very as a safety serve but also wins points by pushing opponents back and making them mishit long or into the net hit because they have to bring their paddle up to meet the ball. (i nicknamed the lobspin). I have about 5 different serves- the lobspin, screwball (try standing in a far corner and hitting right above the opposite kitchen line(!)), traditional power topspin, drop serve into a full cut slice (or drop serve and fake the slice) and backhand slice (from drop or toss). Im working on a giant topspin where the upward motion is basically straight up rather than following across the body.
Question about your “connect the ball to you paddle from your hand” toss. This is how I serve and have had no issues. But playing recently someone made a comment that “it’s deceptive and okay for rec play but not in tournaments.” I suspected he was just being salty because I have a really good slice serve and was scoring with it (I’m not adding spin with the hand because that’s illegal). But I looked into the rules anyways and the only thing I could find was rule 4.A.6 saying in summary the servers release of the ball must be visible to the receiver and referee or just receiver if no referee. If the ball isn’t visible then they can call for a replay. My question is, is the “connect toss” serve you did illegal based on this rule? Do any pros serve this way on tour? Do I need to change my serve to add more of a toss? Thanks!
Folks are confusing it with the Drop serve, you cannot toss it up or throw it down. I am also getting called out by folks who mix up the two set of serve rules.
New to pickleball here, was looking through the rules and you talk about tossing up the ball, even a little... but isnt that against the rules? 4.A.8.a. The server must release the ball from one hand only or drop it off the paddle face from any natural (un-aided) height. Just clarifying, great videos.
I try to return top spin serves with top spin. It seems to enable a more difficult return for my opponent. From serving, I serve from various places behind the box, which allows for different serves vis spin, slice, hiehg, and speed, and affords the opportunity to confuse some opponents. Any thoughts on this from Enhance Pickleball?
Your videos are so informative and I love the show and tell aspects with your different Coaches. I know this sounds crazy but could you pls slow your pace of speaking just a little? Other than that, id say your lessons are one of the best out there…thanks for doing this for all of us pickers who want to get even better ( sure wish you gave golf lessons too :)
You've got some of the best PB training info on YT but your guidance about moving forward as you hit the return is definitely controversial. Most of the other channels recommend getting your feet set before you strike the ball.
Would love to see more discussion around the general rule re: “Paddle contact with the ball must not be made above the waist level.” Is there a definitive line or not to the waist? I have started to see more amateur players striking the ball at a higher and higher contact point and not sure who is right.
A lot of people confuse the waist with the hip level. Where most people get into trouble, but the rule is hardly enforced, is the following: 4.A.7.b. The highest point of the paddle head must not be above the highest part of the wrist (where the wrist joint bends) when the paddle strikes the ball. At 5:49 you see the illegal serve motion shown.
I am a complete NOOB at pickleball but I definitely feel more comfortable with every video I watch from you. And your sister is easy on the eyes. makes me want to see more training videos! ;P
4.A.4. The moment the ball is served: 4.A.4.a. At least one foot must be on the playing surface behind the baseline. 4.A.4.b. Neither of the server’s feet may touch the court on or inside the baseline. 4.A.4.c. Neither of the server’s feet may touch outside the imaginary extensions of the sideline or centerline. There is no rule that limits steps or movement prior to the serve.
I returned the serve from my service area with spin. A dink shot that landed in my opponent's kitchen and had enough spin that when it bounced it went over the net into my kitchen before my opponent could return it. Play was halted because my opponent said if that happens play stops and we re-serve because of the spin we couldn't play the ball. This was a doubles, non tourney game Is that true? There's nothing in the rules about it in section 7, Fault Rules, or section 9, NVZ Rules. Thanks!
In tennis, when the body and feet are perpendicular to the net is called Neutral Stance, not closed. Closed Stance is when your back is almost facing the net.
Yeah, something happened with the mics in this vid and we didn't realize until we finished! Had to go back and re-do a bunch of the shots. Glad that you still enjoyed it.
@@PicklesTheBall Definitely not wrong. You cannot toss the ball in the air let it bounce and then hit it. You can however toss it in the air as high as you want as long as it doesn't bounce and all other parameters are met.
As somebody with a lot of experience in tennis, golf, and now pickleball, equipment can help mask deficiencies and boost strengths. But at the end of the day fundamentals are what matters most.
Yeah this is not true. You can toss the ball up (just don’t impart spin) as long as it doesn’t bounce and you contact it below the waist and making contact below the wrist

Wrong. Beginners that are un coordinated may do this. Hit it like an approach shot on the move.

you cannot toss the ball!
tossing the ball up is illegal when serving!
Thats only true for bounce serves. On normal serves you just need to contact the ball below your naval
Yeah this is not true. You can toss the ball up (just don’t impart spin) as long as it doesn’t bounce and you contact it below the waist and making contact below the wrist
Rule 4a5 says no manipulation or spin on the ball from any body part before the serve. A toss is manipulation.
