Dude. Your content has been so quality the last 4-5 months. Not just for beginners but we all need to refresh our fundamentals because it’s always easy to fall into bad habits and not realized it.
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Much appreciated!
I second the guys comment, you do a fantastic job with you content. Keep up the excellent work.
“Communication” is the toughest adjustment for me as a tennis player transitioning to pb. Verbal communication between my opponents while the ball is on or en route to our side of the court would be hinderances in tennis, but is allowed in pb. When I am setting up to hit my shot and my opponent says to his partner, “good shot” or “that’s good!” (before the ball actually lands), that definitely distracts me. If my partner says “yours”, it hurts rather than helps me ESPECIALLY if the ball is obviously mine! If the ball is between us, then by the time he says “yours” it’s too late to get a good shot.
I love to communicate BEFORE the game or BETWEEN rallies. The only thing I say or respond to while the ball is in play is “mine” or “bounce it” (let it go out). To eliminate confusion, I like to get on the same page before the game regarding certain things: who takes “middle” balls (forehand down the middle or designated player (if his backhand is better than my forehand, then he should take those); if I go behind you to retrieve a lob over your head, please switch immediately to the side I vacated-don’t wait for me to call “switch”. If you cross the center line to take a shot, stay there-I will take the side you left without waiting to see if you can make it back. I like aggressive play, so I have no problems with my partner poaching even if the ball is coming to me. BUT, he should do this only if he can do something good (win the point or put the opponents in trouble). It’s no good if he has to stretch or dive for the ball because we are then at a disadvantage if he fails to win or trouble them.
I apologize for the book I just wrote, lol. But lastly, I want to say that you are a fabulous instructor who makes things easy to understand and learning a pleasure!
Love it! Thanks for watching!
Don't agree with everything you said, but great comments! I like communication during the point, your post helps me understand why many don't:)
Yep, that’s all from tennis and makes sense for us in the second paragraph. :)
The King of Pickleball right there!!ALWAYS helpful info!!We definitely appreciate you!!!🏓
Thanks :)
I spent most of the time cracking up while watching that video!! Kyle, you are SO hilarious!! That black hole part: 😂😂😂 Very good & helpful info.
hahahahahah let's go!! Just trying to make it fun.
Not sure what I like more:your videos or watching you go head first into a wall watching during your tournament. You do make things fun. Thank you.
Hahahahah tough call! thanks for the encouragement.
@@thatpickleballguyCC
Video?
Mistake Number 4 - I totally agree Kyle and I try to communicate on every single ball even if it's obvious. My partners consistently appreciate it too!
That's fantastic!
Love your tutorials!! thanks for the humor...and the tips~
Glad you like them!
best video. that was sooooo helpful. some of the miskate shown I've done. thanks
Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful!
Literally just started playing pickle ball with some other beginner coworkers and I didn’t even realize how MANY mistakes I was making.
After my first few sessions I started paying closer attention to the other players around and I knew I had so much to learn beyond just learning the rules and whatnot.
I knew playing up could be really beneficial..
But I didn’t know how to do it always felt easier to play mid.
Anyway. I’ve learned a TON thanks to your videos and can’t wait for our next sesh so I can implement.. 🙏🏼
Awesome! Glad the videos are helpful!
Thank you for your time. Great stuff.
Absolutely!
The black hole bit was great. Brilliant video as always! Thanks!
Thanks!! glad it was helpful!
Love it! Great tips! ❤
Thanks so much!
Really enjoy your presentation! Great tips to boot!!
Glad you like them!
Great video
You have really good videos and I share them with all my friends that are just starting. Thank you man
I appreciate that! Thanks!
You're funny and instructive at same time. Makes your lessons fun. Love it. Thank so much..
Glad you enjoy it!
Always good content!
Thanks for watching!
Your videos and advice are excellent - I really have learned and advanced my game by playing and watching your TH-cam videos. Thank you Kyle!
Glad it's helpful!
Nice content. Having multiple cameras and good editing really makes them easier to follow and more interesting to watch.
Thank you!! Glad its helpful!
Such good information. I’m at beginner level and have been winning plenty of matches following your videos. Appreciate it. Cheers from North Phoenix!
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Very nice video instructions for ant player to reminds us our mistakes. Thanks!
Glad it helps!
Great advice.
Thanks! Glad it helps!
Good stuff
Thanks :)
As a beginner I appreciate your videos!
Happy to hear that!
12:40 - I have seen a 3.5 at best hit that shot HAHAHAHA
I love your vids
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello Kyle and thank you for ALL the mistakes you should..... NOT MAKE. Me coming from a decade of playing Racquetball, I have to remind myself constantly NOT to do a huge swing and smash the PB. I have some great 'coaches' , being a total beginner, who point out immediately what I can approve on. Your videos echo a lot of what they recommend, so it's a win-win situation to go on the court and actually practice play...then come home to do the Theory learning while watching your videos.
You stand out with your quality videos, jokes included, within the ridiculous quantity of videos out there which more confuse than help.
Keep up the great work
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful!
Great videos Kyle. Appreciate the valuable information & humorous entertainment. Many rec Picklers take the game too seriously. Thank you!
Glad you enjoy them!
"Stubborn positioning" is my #1 flaw. I play with a bunch of ppl that are "over the net" players, and they don't work the kitchen at all. I think I need to stop staying at the kitchen line and wait for them to make unforced errors.
Just stop worrying about others cause it’s all practice till you’re playing competitive!
I will watch the video again and then try not to make those mistakes. Thanks so much for helping me improved my game.☺
I 😂
Fantastic! Glad it was helpful!
Kyle saw you yesterday at the PPA tournament in los cab. I was very excited. You not only are great coach on TH-cam but I love your sense of humor. Hopefully you remember me my name is E And we talked for a while yesterday you were watching your girlfriend and always watching JEN play
Great to meet you!! Thanks for the kind words :)
Beat bangers 😂😂😂
I got a rec player that didn’t like me calling you or me. Said it distracted him. He’s a solid 3.3. I like the communication with everyone. It lets me know we are both focused playing as a team.
That would def distract me, too. When I play, usually we only call out balls that go down the middle. It works well.
Yep, just gotta find what works best! I've never had a problem with calling it on most balls.
@@thatpickleballguy wouldn’t you know I played with an out of towner that would say ‘mine’ when he was taking a ball. It wasn’t on every shot, but it was clear to me when he wanted to take the shot and I did the same. It was wonderful!
The POINT of communication is to help your team! Distracting your partner does NOT help your team. Any ball coming at me, I will take. If it’s coming at you, then YOU take it. If it’s in between us, then we will know who takes it because we decided BEFORE the match even started: forehands, closest to the net, or better player (a 4.0 player’s backhand is probably better than a 3.0 player’s forehand! IMO, other than “mine” or “bounce it” (allow the ball to hit the ground before hitting an “out” ball), communication should be limited to discussing strategy between points.
Excellent. 5 star. 😅
Solid
Thanks for watching!
These are good tips for an advanced player too.
You should do a video where we have to guess, based on a half second of the opponent's wind-up, whether their ball is going in or out.
Glad it was helpful! I will keep that in mind!
If an advanced player volleys like that… I’d be afraid… 😅😂😅
So cute that you communicate with every single ball; I am a very, very beginner, but that is what I do too, even though it is clear shot for my partner! I never took lessons (much more prefer your awersome tips here ♥), plus I am not good at taking sports' lessons, I like to learn as I go and by trying different positions, etc. that is how I learn best. So, back to the point, I thought I was been "too vocal" by saying "yours" or "mine" all the time, so cool you do the same! Now, if anyone has a problem with that, I will say that Kyle K does the same! Hahaha
Thanks for watching!
Always! :D@@thatpickleballguy
Ahh.. good tips. This is 100% Arizona, i'm getting Scottsdale or Tucson vibes. But you also need to clean the lens on your camera.
definitely do! Didn't realize it until after filming!
you are awesome
Thank you!
#5 had a foot fault @ the kitchen as well
My biggest issue by far is not letting outballs go out. So since I come from a tennis background I was taught to have fast twitchy reflexes at the net. In pickleball it’s nice but it causes me to instinctively hit anything near me because I just think the court is so much bigger than it is.
So one thing I do from playing tennis. I’ll see players look at their partners when their partner is hitting the ball. I never do this. You see it a lot when a team is returning and when dinking. I feel like it’s not too beneficial to do. You don’t gain an advantage by seeing the ball be hit on your side, by your partner but you also take your eyes off your opponent. They could move in that split second and now you’re a step behind in response. Also if there’s a miss hit I’d rather get hit in the side or the back of the head than the face
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Can you do a vid on the Spin Serve and it's current status? I saw something a while back that it was outlawed in 2023. In fact, on Selkirk's website they sell a shirt that says REST IN PEACE SPIN SERVE. Thanks Kyle.
I will keep that in mind!
Thanks for getting Leelee on. We come in all shapes and sizes and colors.
Lili is the best!
It’s nice when we don’t focus on differences as they separate us most often…..Especially in todays world. When we all become just people and nothing else we will live in a better world. Let’s unite…..not separate. ✌️
During play yesterday, both teams became confused on the score later on in the game. One of the veteran players tried to teach us how to "back into" the score by the odd/even of the score and how it related to who was serving, 1 or 2. I searched through your videos and have tried watching other videos on the odd/even scoring of the game. None of the current videos give us a good example. Help! Or, was she wrong in her advice?
I think I understood: when I win a serve, I then applied the "1" to the 0-0-1 score when I move over to the left court. That is how the score should be "odd" on the left, and "even" on the right?
You're not alone. This concept took me awhile to learn as well - i do some explanation of how that works in this video - th-cam.com/video/npCzByb7IUo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the link! I will study it. :)
Hey! You are stealing my stuff here! I tell this stuff to folks all the time. This great! Thanks!
Let's go!!
If they do a short return and the Banger wants to hit it hard would the ball be out?
There's a good chance it'll be out. Sometimes just let it go and see how good there spin is!Good data for the future points in the game.
…about backing up when you expect to get killed after a pop up. I see too many people who are just looking for a reason to back up and play their whole game in no man’s land. Nearly 100% of the time that you are moving backwards on any shot you will either hit in the net (usually),or you pop it up again. Make sure you give yourself time to get set before the opponent hits it, you don’t want to still be moving back and trying to hit it, you have no chance with these.
Again, well put!!
Hmm slice those volleys maybe…
Where’s Tyler?❤️😍
didn't make it.
i teach beginners not to step backwards for a lob, no more than 1-2 steps, because they could catch their heel and fall back, hitting their head. what is the difference with the retreat you advise to do when you see a ball that is popped up and you are about to get slammed. in the video you have the opponent take 4-5 steps back. how is that not dangerous? it doesnt feel dangerous--i do it myself.
Yes, agree, the backpedal can be dangerous for someone with more limited balance and mobility. I'd teach, turn hips and cross step back, not backpedal! I'll make a video on this sometime soon! good points you made.
worried about u guys playing under high tension wires or near them , radiation not good
Really enjoy your content, but... as in this one and maybe another couple of your videos you will point up and say click here, but nothing is there to click. Is it just me??
Thank yoU! TH-cam is hard. Lol getting that fixed. thanks for pointing it out.
Slow down,I can’t understand a word you are saying!!
Will work to do that in future videos :)
"The most persistent problem with communication is the illusion it took place" Is this yours? That is a Transformational thought! Now, I have seen many of your videos and (tongue and cheek here) most of your stuff aint that deep! Seriously though, that statement goes far beyond pickleball! In fact I would like to see a poll on here as to how many "steal" that and use it in their lives over the next few weeks. Pick a sales meeting, coaching in any sport and quote that.... You will be the Top Do for the day!
Momentary update: That may have been George Bernard Shaw, But I'd rather say I was quoting, ThatPickleballGuy! 😀
Yep! Not mine. My uncle told me that when I was a kid. Never forgot it!
this sport is crap. compared to tennis and padel
interesting.
This game is so much fun. I enjoy it way more than tennis. Not crap!
@@lorihirai6393 you like grandpa sport easy challenges is it? you find tennis too tiring and difficult right? you want a donut?
@@samtrautman6416 have you ever played or you are just talking crap because you suck at tennis and padel and dont wanna suck at pickleball too lol.
@@lorihirai6393 totally agree with you!
