You also have to know your partner in doubles and pay attention to their return or third shot. If you transition to the line (or you are already at the line) and your partner returns the ball a little too high you need to get back or you're a sitting duck.
Hi, a little confusion here; are you telling me not to lob the ball over and behind my opponent? Is this what you are referring to as pop-up's, and should I avoid the lob over their heads? It seems to be my best shot and the opposing team hates it...help me out with this confusion. I am a relatively new player, and I truly appreciate your help.
Hey Evie, no problem! A pop-up is a shot that you make where the ball goes up high so that your opponent can smash it back over. Pop-ups almost always lead to a loss of the point and can be very, very frustrating. What you're referring to is indeed the lob and they can be very, very effective. Great job!
I am frustrating that my pickle ball is not improving. It’s even getting a little worse. I’m not good at top spin or backspin I prefer to just hit the ball flat. Is that a bad idea? When I charge the net sometimes players like to try to pop it over my head. Is that sign of a good player? Sometimes on a serve people hit the ball short and it’s hard for me to get it but if I run up the hill at hard and I have to go back. What am I doing wrong? I saw you had a shirt from Plano Texas. Is that where you’re from?
Ronald: How often do you play and how long have you been playing? Nothing wrong with a flat shot. The game allows for finesse and deception. Remember, 95% of the game is played at the NVZ. Work on dink shots and opportunities to hit winners. Don't worry about the lobs/overheads, I'd be willing to bet that 50% or less land IN! Keep playing and you'll improve as long as you're physically ok to get about the court..
@@SDPBALLCOACH i’ve been playing for less than a year. Part of my problem is I weighed 245 pounds and I’m 6 foot tall.My endurance is only three games long. You didn’t answer my other question I saw you with a shirt on from Plano Texas. Do you live there? My son lives there.
@@ronaldpass8885 Your endurance will improve. You'll probably drop a few lbs. I'm over 6' and over 245 n never felt better. I've never been to Texas or worn a shirt like that but that's no problem...
Suggestion....place painters tape on the boundaries of the camera coverage. Stay within the tape to ensure you stay within the frame of the camera. Also pan the camera out so it shows not only the paddle stroke but also where the balls lands
Go Linda. Thank you Barrett. I still have trouble with my pop ups. That’s what gets me beat more than anything. The people I play are way better than me. I don’t know if I will ever be very good with all the pop ups I get. I try resetting things, but I just can’t. Help
It’s a cross between tennis & ping pong kinda played on a court with a wiffle ball and a paddle some bigger than a ping pong paddle. Super fun once you get past beginner phase!
Barrett, I miss you taping new videos. Your personality is so fun to learn from. Please come back to us!!!
Thanks! I just released a new one a few days ago so go check it out!
You are a gifted teacher! Thank you!
Brilliant breakdown! Sometimes amazing players have no idea what they are doing, much less how to break it down.
This was excellent. I am at the 8 week mark and I know that this will help me quite a bit with my game! Going to try some of these tips today!
Awesome, let me know how it works out for you!
Excellent information!
Looser grip also helps prevent wrist, elbow, and shoulder injuries.
Awesome!! I am a beginners and this is very helpful!

Ronald-Barrett is the guy presenter who you see on the video. Kevin is an audience member who answered your basic question and he is Not on the video.
Great stuff! Where can I get some pink pickleball sneakers? 🙂

Have you seen my other videos on pop ups?
@@PickleballKitchen I don’t think so.
Immensely. Your favorite word repeat: When playing beginner plus constant tennis style ground stroke kill kill kill. How to stop them.

She doesn’t keep her paddle in front of her?
He didn’t really show why you pop it up. Maybe he should have shown the shot that makes you pop it up.
I like these videos but would love to have the teachers to get to the point.
Wtf is this sports
pickleball just like tennis
