Tony this was such a great video. Love how you explain everything and follow up with demonstration. I learned so much from you. You are an excellent teacher. Please keep videos coming!!
Great video Tony. I occasionally involuntarily twist my wrist when I serve. This results in my serve going out either right or left. Is there something I can consciously think about or even say out loud to myself when I serve that will prevent this?
I practiced following the ball today. I played my best today and was more consistent. I was able to block back drives down the line, poach on high balls down the middle and reset the dink. I was shocked how well I played today. I need to shortened my swing at the kitchen line as a seemingly easy ball was netted. Thank you Tony. I need to watch this video of yours the night before my morning game.
I will do that before my next game to reinforce what I have learned and also to pick up more tips to practice. Thank you again for the other videos too. Look out Ben Johns Ha ha ha.
Really like his comments about being early or late on stroke because it allows us to make corrections during a game by instantly understanding our mistakes
Awesome nobody has talked about these important tips like this. It will surely give Sue and I a new focus to improve our game. Thanks Tony and Jill we always look forward to watching your videos!
Similar concepts we used when coaching tennis. Shorter backswings when hitting ball delayed/late contact for down the line passing shots. Longer backswing and follow through when going cross court. Shoulder turns for direction orientation. Racket and paddle face orientation with follow through in direction of finish/targeting opponents half of the court. Deep or shallow alters length of stroke etc. PB always uses a shirt, if any backswing and overall a condensed or compact stroke, both backswing and follow through. Yes, it gives the opponent less time to react when you use an abbreviated clean swing. That being said, PB is a front and back court game (multi dimensional) power and soft touch game. It’s therefore also a mental game/sport. Nice video guys!👍
@In2Pickle So, the impression I am getting from watching your video is that the optimal point of contact/hitting of the ball is when it is slightly out in front of somebody but at a distance where the arm is extended lower at a 45 degree angle downward without reaching? Is that about right?
@@Tededison if it is affecting your play you can consider sliding the finger off the paddle. Generally finger on or off should not have a dramatic impact on results. It is more of a comfort thing in my experience.
I've got a question. I was serving. My opponents stacked. I served. The guy who was forward, outside the court near NV zone in serving side of court, intercepted the serve and returned it. that is, it bounced short and he returned it. He insisted that this is legal, but I have my doubts. Can either player in a stack return ball on service?
The stack does not affect who hits the return. It is always the pleasure who is supposed to be there - based on the score of the receiving team - who must return the ball. Think about it this way. If either could return why would they need to stack? Hope this helps
Hey Mark. Thanks for the observation. We are addressing that. It appears that they are running mid-roll ads on the content. Hope the tips were helpful.
Sorry for the speed - it is something that I struggle with. Particularly when it comes to pickleball; it is exciting stuff! Thanks for the feedback. Tony

Excellent video thank you 😊
Our pleasure :).
Great video Tony. I occasionally involuntarily twist my wrist when I serve. This results in my serve going out either right or left. Is there something I can consciously think about or even say out loud to myself when I serve that will prevent this?
I have the same problem! How did you fix it?
Think of hitting through the ball as far as you can through the target - keeping the paddle going in that direction.
Dat was awesome
Excellent.
Wow! This vid is jammed pack with great i fo! The grip pressure tip was really helpful! Many thanks! 💕🙏🏻🍨
Thank you Ann. A lot to digest in that 1 video :)

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience. Keep at it. Each time you watch the video you will get a little different information.

Absolutely loved the video, great instruction. I would appreciate it if you would talk a little slower.

Nicely explained
Thank you Mayruth.

Another great one from In2Pickle!
Where’s Vol 2?😬

Hi Bryan. That is a good starting point. Move it up or down according to the shot you are trying to hit and height of ball.
Great video. Your technique makes a lot of sense. Keep the videos coming.
🙏
really well done.

Love these videos breaks everything down

I’m a table tennis guy so I grip my paddle like yours V grip. Any advice for me?
How you doing Titus. Unless the V is causing you difficulties there is no modification required.
@@BestPickleballCoach well it’s seems to be fine sometimes my fingers gets in the way on my back hand

Do you do camps and training classes?
Hi Billy. We have camps. WeArePickleball.com

Too many ads on this channel!
Hey Mark. Thanks for the observation. We are addressing that. It appears that they are running mid-roll ads on the content. Hope the tips were helpful.
Good info, he talked too fast for me, made it difficult to listen
Sorry for the speed - it is something that I struggle with. Particularly when it comes to pickleball; it is exciting stuff! Thanks for the feedback. Tony
Looking for the settings on the bottom right of the video player where you can set the play speed slower or faster
I get it - pickleball IS a lot of fun!! And when I tell people about it, I get all hyped up! Hahaha

How did you get that 4 superscript on there? That is a neat trick :)
