- Pickleball strategy is constantly evolving over time, and the game will never be the same. Here's a guide to how the game is changing and how you can keep up.
This is a match analysis video featuring our against Ben Johns and Collin Johns in the Men's Doubles quarterfinals at the PPA in Fontainebleau, Las Vegas!
I played with Riley Newman and this is some of the highest quality, fastest, most chaotic pickleball you'll ever see.

So basically in summary of the video: Develop fast hands and you win.
fast drives you meant
Fast hands are a given at this level. Position and tactics is what this is about
@@angrymountainbikershow3151 nope . patterns recognition also
@@mex5341 Pattern recognition is what "fast hands" is all about
You and CJ need to hug it out. You're both great players. It's just a game. Be a great human being first and foremost.
Christian, it’s been really fun to follow your career. You have some keen observations on the direction the game is taking. Please keep posting these videos. Much success to you!
Thank you!
Yes please Christian, a video on the mental side would be fantastic!
Right side needs to generate offense. I've been hearing this alot and I agree. You cant be a balanced team with one player agressive and one player defensive. Makes it too easy to target. This is the highest level of breakdown I've seen on youtube. Thanks for sharing Christian and helping us amateurs become better. Much appreciated.
You’re welcome!
Love these breakdowns! Keep coming. To hear it from a top pro like you, this is such a gift!
Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed your analysis. It was very informative. I also give you full props for having the humility to identify your mistakes as a means of helping viewers like me learn key aspects of pickleball, such as proper positioning. I know that it takes alot of time to create this type of deeper dive video; and it is very much appreciated.
Love your comment about the first point: you can initiate an attack in the middle by not hitting it hard and down, forcing the opponents to have to hit it up, giving your partner an opportunity to finish the point. So much to learn!
Christian - keep going! Love what you're doing! I got my pic with you in ATL CIBC. Thank for taking the time. I'd LOVE a paddle!!! I live in The Villages FL. The precision of your strategy and having the endurance is amazing....and you are willing to expose yourself to let the other pros see. Watching you and Collin after the match at CIBC ATL and LW asking you not to say anything was interesting. I don't know all of the details....but I'd like to ask you, what are your strategies off the court??....and where is the line when people cross it to you or you to them. Other than your scoring results what are you trying to do with the bantering back to Collin or others, if you want to share. Thanks Brother! I want to see you at the TOP!!!
Great hearing your analysis of the Johns matches. Thanks and keep it up.
Thanks a lot for the breakdown. We learn a lot from going through it with you so thanks bro.
I always preferred playing the right side as well, not because of the pretext of being not a dominant left side player but because of the ideology of being a dominant right-side player as important to the match chemistry. Thank you for highlighting the strategy, as when dominant right side player steps in the match chemistry becomes very fluid. Colin Johns has been improving dominance as a right-side player ever since he has moved into pickleball.
Good tips Christian, thank you! I think Zane and Humberg in MLp are another good example of how being aggressive from the right side can be a good strategy.
Can you speak more of how the strategy of you taking most thirds work? I see that it is done in either drives or drops.. do you aim somewhere specific in the court?
Thanks for the video! A sports psychology techniques video would be super helpful I know for me personally, helping me stay in the game mentally.
The paddles are changing. Go back to old tech and the game is still slow. Fast is fun, but it’s more fun when it requires higher skill to execute.
Braindead comment lmfao the TKO-C is literally built the same as Gen1 paddles so try again.
@@evannatteford1784 it’s a unique design not gen 1 iirc but I’m not talking about Alshon.
See Zane and another "pro" (forgot the name) destroying 5.0 players using WOODEN paddles.
@@WhitePillMan Dude there is legit no way you're argument is that they would revert to the way pickleball used to be played if we go back to old paddles, never have I ever seen a more deluded opinion, do you think all the strategy and game understanding that players have been developing over the years is going to simply go out the window if the paddles hit slightly softer????
@@evannatteford1784 the strategy would definitely be different. its physics
Great episode. You are absolutely right that the role of the right-side player is more and more important nowadays. BTW, what has happened to Thomas, who has missed action for a few months?
Great analysis! I also would like to hear about your mental techniques. A great idea
Love your focus on right sides players…Do you think the right side should be this aggressive in mixed too?
The most interesting aspect of this match is that you have a dominant right-handed player on the right. I've never seen anyone doing it before, and it completely threw off Johns' game. They only managed to adjust for the next match. Even how Riley played is more akin to "new" right-side players, but on the left. I'm not sure this strategy will work long-term though as opponents will learn how to deal with it, and it's just more difficult to keep it consistent than more standard "new" left-dominant, right-aggressive (Daescu/Tardio or Johnson/Frazier or even Johns/Waters) strategy.
You seem to missed the time when The Badger was in Pro PickleBall
Great breakdown! I'm sure you've mentioned it somewhere, but what grip are you using on the bh punch counter?
Pickleball is changing, and people hate change. If you play the “modern” game, people think you have no soft game, which is not true. It means you recognize when to keep pressure on using power. Older game cliques also don’t like the “modern” game, or power, so they don’t include you in their groups. I thought tennis was cliquey, but no, PB is the winner. Keep up the good topical content!
At game 5-5, Colin leaves the court to let Ben hit a reaching sketchy forehand speed-up. If the roles were reversed you are backhand flicking that speed-up every time, leaving you and your partner still in good positions. The result is that Colin is squeezed out, Ben forced to cover the whole court and Riley gets the counter. The whole thing starts with a Colin not standing his ground. To me, New Pickleball is right-side players needing to hit winners off bh flick and 2hbh bombs, rather than just assuming middle and off-middle is the for the left.
Good observation
You're making some excellent content. Please get a mic. I had to stop listening because of the tinny echo.
Bro send me a paddle! You won't even miss it 😂
Dylan = "still underrated" Right = all those backhand Flicks help Singles. See Tardio doing well already in Singles.
it woulb be better if you use lav mic
Hey Bro, I started playing a month back only and moved to 4.5 but to be honest here, you are hitting 1 out of 6 balls... Seems you are spectator in the court... Your partner is all hard lifiting and you are watching how they are playing 😂
so, why did you loose in atlanta with ben obviously not his 100%? 😢
Also if you lose much with Riley Newman he'll blame you for the losses. Lol
At 19:11 “you can dink right here”. I think I played this but hearing to dink out of the kitchen feels like I’ve never heard but love.
I mean well beyond the line
Love these breakdowns- subbed and following the newsletter. The court positioning and thought process behind the sped-ups is VERY helpful.
When you say who cares I’m pretty sure you do (as you should). Still enjoying the videos. It’s helpful to hear how the game changes so we can start practicing. Seems like there are a number of shots that are developing. I’m curious how libs will progress as a good lob seems to always change the advantage. Thanks again!
Christian, at 9:10 in 2nd game (42-44min) it was Riley's ball, that's why you felt that you had enough time. It's my personal pet peeve - if I'm running to the net, take the f-n middle ball! Especially if we are unwounding the stack.
It’s been really intriguing to follow your growth and career. My husband and I were taking photos with you before you were in the top 5 players. We always knew you would be someone special to watch. Really enjoyed these videos and so happy for all your success that’s coming with your hard work!
Do you think you can make a video on your stretch routine before matches?
That’s why Collin being more aggressive in the recent plays makes the game totally different by John’s. Agreed buddy
Thank, can you show how 3rd shot is becoming more offensive?
awesome 1k..yay
It is best to beat Ben and Fed led teams in doubles, and winning doubles, before making the most confident claim. I am pretty sure i am watching them dink and drop in doubles.
Your court movement and positioning reminds me of high level tennis positioning! Appreciate the more aggressive play from the right side... Keep pushing the game forward 🤘
You would be better off not partnering with Riley Newman he's mediocre. Go with Q. Now that's a winning combination
Give us a paddle lad!
Gotta subscribe and sign up for that newsletter! You know the drill
👏👏👏 Good Games Appreciate the breakdown
I think Alshon is the fastest hand guy, right?
Probably Tardio or CJ Klinger, but that's not important. "Fast hands" is mostly early pattern recognition. That's why the player with fastest hands in singles - Freddy "Fast hands" Staksrud, looks so slow in mixed doubles.
@@thinksimon Thanks, this sport is new in my country & currently guys with fast hand dominated the game
Tardio, Hayden, JW
