1) Errors are part of the game 2) Footwork is the genesis of errors 3) Record self playing to improve 4) Think strategy and tactics 5) Errors are proceeded by mistakes 2-3 shots before they occur 6) Get yourself into higher level games by networking 7) It's NOT the paddle.

Thanks for the honest truth. Any footwork drills off court or without paddle?

@Thejoeb Жыл бұрын

Footwork is the most important thing, its not that easy to fix as your mobility goes down with age, so working on taking efficient steps and using drop,slide, and lunge steps properly really goes a long way and is not unattainable for the older crowd. You may not get faster or more athletic, but you can get more efficient.

Wow, great tips! I'm impressed - you're the only person (besides myself) I've ever heard talk about foot work. I also teach PB and tell people to "Your feet, as your only contact with the ground, are the foundation for your balance, control and power. Always build from your foundation up." I see more bad shots caused by standing still and reaching than any other cause.

Very nice content. Thanks. I really appreciate the thought involved in your videos. Coming from a background in table tennis and then later in tennis, I see many of the similarities and differences. Your insights are helping me to become a more consistent, stronger player.

When your game is mature enough for you to know why your paddle is the problem, then a better paddle may help. I played indoors and outdoors and the Z5 played perfectly indoors with the balls the rec centers were using, but going outdoors, the Z5 was too responsive and a less responsive paddle really helped me handle drives back to me. This was because the outdoor ball was significantly harder and popped off the Z5 paddle too fast. Nice Video!

@henry0712 Жыл бұрын

One of the best rec. players in my area, plays with a wooden paddle. The, ancient, paddle's sweet spot is highlighted by a lack of finish, as it has worn off with use, over the years.

I’ve heard you preach these before and I will continue to listen. I’ve improved so much following these rules in the short couple years I’ve played pickleball. However, it’s been funny watching the pros lately paddle wise. Rafa Hewett cannot win in singles using that adidas paddle and JW cannot get to gold consistently using the carbon stk. CP cemented herself as a top 2 female switching to Selkirk. At the pro level, I do believe that the paddle does matter but below that, yes, the skill matters WAY more than the paddle in pickleball.

I'm a rec player for most part. 3.5 to 4.0 I can do well with, with right partner,,most times it's my drives that I need to adjust when I'm with better players, to get that 3rd shot a tad lower. I can be a power player or a soft player,,,soft seems to work better with more experienced players. That why Gearbox cx 14 is on my list for this season,,do you still use it?

@PickleballKitchen Жыл бұрын

I'm all over the place trying out different paddles. But overall, yes, the CX14 ultimate is what I'm currently using.

@markdoehrman4447 Жыл бұрын

@@PickleballKitchenwhat's you're thoughts on ultimate, I've seen that one just recently show up.

@PickleballKitchen Жыл бұрын

It feels almost exactly like the regular CX14, but with more beef to it. As you know, power comes from the player, but the Ultimate version does give you a bit more. That was probably the main complaint from the regular CX14. Not enough beef to it.

I agree that it isn't the paddle. However, groundstrokes and serves can 100% be a lot better if you have a poppy paddle with a lot of spin.

@robertcuomo7084 Жыл бұрын

Cannot agree about the paddle. Case in point. Whereby my backhand technique might not be up to snuff, why can I hit it way better and efficiently with a different paddle? Same thing with everything else. Dinks, drops, more accuracy with serving, overheads, lobs, etc. etc. They ain’t all the same, some have a bigger sweet spot. Some are wider which I prefer instead of elongated, some are softer, some have more power. You get the picture.

I know, it really is. It can be such a hard thing to do, but it leads to serious improvement. I had to do this very early on with my channel. I was making some awful videos that didn't have much on court footage. I got roasted for it, now here I am.

Thanks for this! #7) Players thinking they'll improve because of the racket or paddle change. This happens in both "rackets," pun intended - The tennis and pickleball INDUSTRIES LOVE YOU! Get your FUNDAMENTALS down and practice practice practice, but realize you'll never be perfect. You'll see that an accomplished player can play with any racket or paddle...
