You are a great teacher. Just started pickle ball and you are by far the easiest to understand and the most interesting. Thanks for all you do.🎉

I won’t be a 3.5 after these. World ain’t ready for a 4.0 Pickleball Studio

This is a perfect solution! Drilling but making it a game! Big fan. Thank You. ❤❤❤

"You're practicing for who you want to become." Thank you! I keep telling my dad he needs to practice his soft game, but he won't because hitting it really hard works so well at the 3.5 level. I've now surpassed him and am onto 4.0 in much less time and without the tennis background he has because I adopted a soft game. I always told him, "I want to learn how to beat anybody, not just 3.0s and 3.5s."

Oh my god! Kyle, thank you for sharing these with us! 🔥 Can’t wait to try and practice!! 💪

Great drills video. And very entertaining too! Keep up the fantastic work.

Drills are awesome. Just like working on your strokes with a ball machine. Everything is about form and technique.

Thank you for this video I've been improving real fast but I hit a plateau need to go back to the basics and drill drill drill drell

totally love your style, Kyle. Good stuff. Thanks!

your videos are so helpful, i have passed it on to other beginners.

Solid content. What draws me to you is the levity and silliness. It keeps it fresh and light. Too many dense videos on the same things that i watch but don't want to

Love you Kyle! Great teacher! I will use all of these!

Thanks! I host a ladies beginner group and I try to start with a couple of drills. We try these but nobody can purposely do drop shots from the baseline. More practice is needed!

Thanks for showing me some drills to practice! I started playing almost two years ago and my wife just started playing so we will for sure try the cross court dink game!

One thing to add to your skinny singles. Actually, we call it Advance Skinny Singles since you’re moving based on your score. We allow for the ATP if the ball goes out far enough to make the shot. As we are always trying to make this as a real good game as possible. Excellent video, love watching your stuff, humor is great. I wish I could find some craigslist players as good as you find all the time.

3 weeks into playing pickleball and last night I thought I was making up new aspects of the game in doing basically what you show here. II guess I am not as creative as I thought! 🙂Your videos are perfect. To the point, showing the how's and whys. Keep it up!

Great drills.

Just discovered your channel! Great content! Thanks!

Thanks, Kyle. Good stuff.

You’re a good teacher. Thanks!

Super helpful video. Thank you.

These are some great drills thanks a million.

Do you have a video for solo practice drills or training? Can’t always have a partner when I want to practice. It be great to see some solo drills. Thanks for the videos.

Great lesson! Thanks!

OH SNAP! Loved the cut in of the game example!!

100% on the drills vs. Rec Play the reps you can accumulate on one specific shot drilling. I believe.

Great drills! Btw, i'd love a video tutorial on the different ways to dink. 1) My default is usually a soft backspin hit, but that gives the opponent a lot of time to think and adjust. Is there a way to dink with more velocity and maybe non-backspin and still keep it in the court? 2) when dinking on the backhand side, should I always hit a backhand or should I turn my body and hit the dink as a forehand?

Started "drilling" with a ball machine from the start. (no partner) I still do 5yrs later. Hundreds and hundreds of balls. Differnt shots, speeds, styles of swings. Mostly for fun now listening to music while drilling. I'm lucky, machine and courts at my house/community. Thanks for putting in all the work you do for these tutorials.

Good teaching!

Good info on drills.thx.

Zach is out there killing it 😂

Great vid. Thanks

Nicely done vid!

I've just started to play pickleball as I'm too old to play squash anymore But when l did play squash l did drills all the time and it really helped my game I'm sure it would really help your pickleball game Problem is finding someone that will do drills and not just want to play!

I agree, great videos that have helped me already. If you want to see a doppelganger, look up videos of Daniel Riccardo from F-1 racing. Same looks AND mannerisms! 😂

Fantastic video bro!

Liked skinny singles simple explanation useful - Have you got any drills you can do on your own inside the house?

Paddle position at the net can be a personal preference. In the drill session, Kyle has the paddle in a straight up and down position above the net at near mid-chest height. But if you watch the play example he provides the paddle is much closer to net height and is in the natural horizontal position. I prefer more of a JW Johnson paddle position, more relaxed in a horizontal position just above the waist( net height). If you play at the 4.5 level and above 80% of the balls are coming back in this 12" range up or down. If someone is driving a ball and I need to hit it near the upper chest level it's most likely going long. A huge majority of attackable balls are played off the backhand paddle position. There is so much wasted time and effort moving your paddle from the upright position back down to net level. Know one is hitting the ball with their paddle in the upright position except out of panic. I would say the paddle position is also dependent on the court position. With two right-handers at the net, the ball position on the court will determine my paddle position. If my left-side partner is engaged head to head I'm covering the middle with my paddle completely in the back-hand horizontal position. If I'm on the right side engage head to head my paddle is definitely more neutral but still favoring a back handle position. If I'm on the left side covering the hole my paddle is no higher than net level and is closer to the neutral/forehand position. IMO as you get better a "ready" position is super important but it needs to be semi-flexible based on court positioning,

Great tips well done....Is that a Pickleroll Installation?

One problem with these drills is that you are always hitting the ball more or less straight back from the direction it came. In my drop drills I will sometimes have the person that is up send the ball then immediately move laterally to the other side and that is where the dropper puts it and then that drop gets sent back diagonally etc so both dropper and the person at the kitchen are taking straight on balls and returning them diagonally. This can be done on skinny singles as well so the server as part of their serve call says the score followed by “switch “ which means they will serve and move laterally to the other side so the return takes a straight on ball and sends it back diagonally then the point continues with each shot going to the opposite court from which the ball came from

I love the dink drills especially when there's four & we cross dink with two balls going in opposite directions. Two people dink forehand while two people dink backhand.

Haven't picked up my pickleball racket yet...but when I do...watch out world....

Great vid! Is it just me or was your camera's auto white balance going back and forth between warm and cool like crazy?

Can you explain the rules of serving. I was told my serve is illegal. The paddle was above my wrist. Very confused

That example using Kobe's practice ethic, Phenomenal! 👏👏👏👏 Very few, VERY few want to put in the time to drill. "It's Boring. Waaah! I just wanna hit the ball!"

Here's a fun and great way to improve your hand-eye coordination when you are by yourself and not at a pickleball court... kzfaq.infoor3HrL-KQQc

Yo, how much should someone spend on a paddle? What do you suggest is the sweet spot? Like $100? Cheap paddles are dead when you don’t hit them in the center. Maybe many paddles are?

"His job is to rip balls in my face" - Great videos though! I will definitely incorporate some of these drills!

Drilling always worked well for me in tennis. The problem is it's rare there is is an open Pickelball court by me as the game is getting so damm popular. Maybe on a 42 degree january day it would work. Great lesson!

your wide shot at the back of the court, is that a gopro?

Just found this guy...love his stuff!

Do you have any drills to do on your own? I don’t have a lot of options immediately near me when I get the time to drill.

There’s no way that’s his first time playing pickleball…

Pro dart players are able to hit the bullseye almost every time and make it look easy, but it takes years to get that good.

Dude your homeboy looks so uncomfortable 😅

I was taught flick the wrist instead of tight compact punches.

In drill #4 you refer to 'blocking' a shot and then proceed to demonstrate 'punch volleys'. What's up with that? I learned that a block absorbs the pace and drops the ball into the kitchen while the punch uses pace to punch it back to the back half of the court.

Dude can you hook us up with a coupon for a Selkirk? Love these videos been playing for 6 weeks and I am completely addicted. All the guys I play with love these videos as well.

I get confused by their lingo. My students found me confusing because I don't have any filter and I have no idea what they were taught in high school.

great demos- strong opponent. distracting music.

Craigslist Zach was definitely better than 3.5 at best! Haha

Craigs list new player? Lol rightttt

I can't tell if it's a meme that he got a guy from craiglist or not

Kyle. If u r ever in Seattle, I’ll drill with u for $10.50.. 😂

Who is Kobe Bryant'?

I don't like the drop game. The guy at the net could just dink everything back short. You need the ball hit back to you to drill drops from the baseline.

This is how I warm up before I play (except for the skinnies).

When did Danny Ric leave F1 and take up pickle ball.

Zach isn't comfortable ripping balls in your face ... great video

That is ridiculous that you have to pay someone to play in order to video your drills. That person should be grateful to work on His game

This helper is not new 😂

Master the boring

21 dollars the other youtuber paid 100

Stop giving away all the drilling secrets! As a small editing note, the scoring graphic is off when you decided to pretend you started on serve. It’s sometimes tough to teach the skinny so it might be helpful to edit that if you can. You do get back on score eventually so not a big deal at least for us who have played this game way too much. :)

That music in the background is too annoying to watch this video

Drills dont suk...you suk at drilling!!

This is a solid collection of drills that I'll share with those folks looking to make that jump from just banging the third as they're now encountering players who can block... and of course that's the level at which hitting the third hard all the time stops workin. :-)
