    OK boys … I have watched a ton of videos … but this one is by far the best PB video I have ever seen … detailed, short, quick conversations, followed by examples, followed by quick corrections while hitting. Moving along to the next steps in the sequence, that makes sense. And then the transcript is money. I’ve been piecing together how to effectively hit a “tui”, this is the blueprint. Fantastic job you two. !!

    Chris, hands down, this is the best 2 handed backhand instructional videos. I have watched many because I can see that an effective "tuey" can elevate one's game. I do not have a tennis background (played a lot of raquetball in the 70's & 80's but 2 hand backhand is not a thing) so it has been a struggle to incorporate the "tuey." This is a "must study" video. Thanks.

    26:06 Excellent point about not swinging thru and up and over your shoulder, but to make more compact. Rafa Hewitt is excellent at this. Aanik. Nice work and thorough explanation of your awesome backhand. Chris, good learning and listening. I gotta do what you guys are doing to always improve

    • @jmp62276

Aanik said the follow through didn’t need to be full, all the way back up to head level but on his slow mo’s at the end they seemed be full follow throughs? Maybe I missed it- I’ll watch again later. Thanks again!

    @ 3:53 does he say to make contact with a closed paddle face? If your paddle face is closed, and you are hitting from the backcourt, you are 100% going to hit that ball in the net

    Great video! From an equipment standpoint, what size paddle handle do you think is adequate to effectively use the two hand backhand? I'm used to a 5.5, and was thinking about even going bigger. But a new panel that got me excited as 5.3 in. Do you just overlap your hands more with a shorter handle?

  • @wills00000
    @wills00000 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Anyone have any actual data whether this whip action adds speed? I've seen a lot of "pros" (not being negative, but I don't really know how good their shots are) talk about not having whip but instead keeping the face pointing in the same direction. I have great foot speed, but I need some pop on my shots!

  • @whatsjeffdon3323
    @whatsjeffdon3323 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Cool video lesson. I'm working on my two hander also. What are your thoughts on those balls that are hit deep and instead of backing up and waiting for the ball to drop into your hitting zone but moving up to the ball and hitting on the half volley shortening the time you are giving for your opponent to get into position.

    • @CryptoxLawyer_eth
      @CryptoxLawyer_eth 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If that’s a problem that happens frequently, it’s likely your court positioning is the root cause of the issue. A two handed backhand stroke should only be used at the base line or as a counter at the kitchen. If you’re in the transition zone, it’s all about resetting the ball and getting back to neutral at the kitchen

    • @McPickleness
      @McPickleness 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@CryptoxLawyer_eth Uhh...no. What if the ball is attackable and in the transition zone, but on your backhand side? You're telling me you should reset that ball just because you're in the transition zone? Or you must hit the backhand one handed? That is rigid thinking. Do I need to find you countless clips of pros hitting two handed backhands from the transition zone to make this clear?

    • @CryptoxLawyer_eth
      @CryptoxLawyer_eth 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@McPickleness There are a lot of variables to take into consideration. I guess I'd argue that the smarter or higher percentage play would be to reset the ball to get neutral at the kitchen so you can begin to construct your point in a manner that aligns with your given strategy for the match. Sure, you can rip a two hander from the transition zone, but what happens when your opponent counters? If you're taking that ball out of the air for a two hander, there's very little time for you and/or your partner to recover or prepare for the next ball. Slowing the game down and resetting the ball in transition zone gives you the best chance to get neutral and win the point IMO. End of the day, it's whatever you're most conferrable with!

  • @McPickleness
    @McPickleness 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    10:33 My question is: if the ball is really that high that you'd need to take a few steps back before hitting it, is waiting for that to occur so you can hit a proper 2 handed backhand really the right shot to be taking in the first place? In singles, I know a large part of the strategy is hitting the ball as early as possible to take away time from your opponent to get positioned at the kitchen. So maybe ripping a 1 handed backhand might be the better shot in certain circumstances. Doubles is probably a different story. Thoughts?

    • @nugster9559
      @nugster9559 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @McPickle I think I t’s a matter of how effective/ confident you are with either shot. I used to (in tennis) almost exclusively hit 2-handers because I knew I could rip em where I wanted to. I only sliced w 1 hand. 25 years later in pickleball I find I’m more comfortable with a one handed backhand drive than I ever was in tennis, so I go there more often than 2 (this is likely due to my old man thighs and knees being out of prime.) Muscle memory serves me well, though, so I have both shots at my disposal in PB, but I think it’s a bit like my golf game where I just feel more confident hitting a particular club when the pressure’s on.

    I’ll preface this with I played college tennis…that said, prior to the pickleball surge, people who never played a racket sport would look like absolute trash on a court. Now, even with just a year of good, hard/competitive pickleball play, it’s almost hard to tell who has played tennis for years and who hasn’t…. Honestly, if I had a young kid right now who may end up getting into tennis, I would without a doubt have them start playing pickleball first. I guarantee the transition into tennis will be much easier…. Other than the serve and return (arguably the hardest thing about tennis 😂) pickleball provides a great foundation….

    It is very unlikely you'll develop a perfect pickleball tecnique playing just pickeball because unline tennis, "pickleball" is very forgiving. You could hit using very inefficient motions and your shot would still be OK
