On the drill where you drop from the NVZ then take a small step back, I’d recommend only taking the step back if you make two drops in a row. Miss two in a row and you step forward. 50-50 = stay. I did this for basketball and it was wildly effective in finding and extending the range of my jump shot.
What's impressive is Tyson's backhand during the last drill. His backhand has a crazy slap to it when speed up balls are in zones 1/2 @20:41. I don't think that's something that can be taught. Definitely something I want to see captured with a high speed camera just to get a better look at where his knuckles and the paddle face are located during the swing.
You can adjust the playback speed of the video. On the TH-cam app on phone hit the 3 vertical dots and change playback speed to something less than normal. You have a few options, then play the video. Change it back to normal when you are done.
I am not a big grip pressure guy. I would focus more on making clean contact, applying your eyes into contact, getting organized early with feet and hands, using the appropriate height based on your court position and finding the right happy medium of enough push/lift.
As a tennis player, I'm always just doing a normal ground stroke style of tennis shots, and am able to get the 3rd shot drop, maybe... maybe 3/4 of the time. You mention you do a palm up type of paddle head low shot. For a forehand shot. Is that what makes the difference? It just feels so wrong to hit a ball that way to me.
Love the focus on the fundamentals, now when I practice I intentionally aggravate and tease my practice partner when we do something by saying, "you know why that worked?..because Tyson says so." - which almost always prompts a "You are not Tyson."
@@TysonMcGuffinPickleball and because "I know I don't know." - still focused on developing the drops from both sides. - the former near the corner cone has been replaced with a bucket "shallow". - of course you are right 24ft crosscourt dink - 15+7 - 22ft to net, +2 for shallow zone or 24ft. - as drops go in and I see what's possible now see the drop and crash as part of "game moving faster, adapt or perish". - so also focused on the putaways (crosscourt) - Ernie line could be BB and being at least aware based on the drop of potential ATP defense (volley) to Offense "where I direct the volley". - taking balls off machine in air from 15ft and working backwards..backwards taking them from the air and forwards dropping. LOL. I don't know but I don't think this is wrong. You have not peaked, but the shots are beautiful. Your dinking/dropping "keeps going up, even better". It is obvious watching the film....they don't want you touching the ball. Love that, because if you touch it the points on the way to being over.
Tyson, has anyone ever said you look a little like Fabio Fognini? Maybe you can get Fabio to play pro pickleball as his tennis career is nearing an end. He would be extremely entertaining,
Tyson, I'm loving these videos! My game has improved in short order with your help. You are a great teacher- thanks for posting!!
We love to hear that! Keep it up!
Love the open palm tip. Greetings from Australia
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Tyson and crew! Another great lesson 12.5K subs keep growing!
👍
Thank to Wes for the underhand toss method of learning the 3rd shot drop. Good video Tyson.
Thanks dale!
@@TysonMcGuffinPickleball I learned it from this video:th-cam.com/video/ppZKK_zqs_Y/w-d-xo.html
But Jeff gives credit to Wes.
My brother!!
This is a GEM!! I'm going to have my intermediate students watch this one for sure...
Really nice video.

Thanks Mr. bacon 🙏🙏

Lively arm 😝
This is great! Thanks
Thanks for following 👍
Some of the BEST drills I have found👍 Question about the high arch drop...doesn't that allow for a higher bounce & drives?
Yes I wouldn’t get all the way up and established. Break down and hit a better next ball to get established at the kitchen line.
Needed this!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
How hard do you Grip when you’re dropping it. From net and as you back up to the baseline? Does the grip go tighter as you back up?
I am not a big grip pressure guy. I would focus more on making clean contact, applying your eyes into contact, getting organized early with feet and hands, using the appropriate height based on your court position and finding the right happy medium of enough push/lift.
thank you for the video. Why the pause? :)
Would love to see a drill session with Kyle on the other side, forcing you to dink under advanced level pressure.
Good suggestion 👍

Would love to see his skills on the pickleball court! Italy needs to catch the pickleball bug next!
