Comment questions you have for me! I'm responding to every single one👇

Another great video. I found that to improve my reaction time to speed ups and my success in returning was to (a) not focus on my partner's shot and path of the ball (only use peripheral vision) and (b) intensely focus on the opponent's paddle face as the ball makes contact. By doing these things (along with all the other instructions in this video) I can return with pressure all but super excellent shots from my opponents. When I used to watch the path of the ball from my partner's paddle I couldn't make the adjustment at point of contact because it was happening too fast.

Excellent coaching.I'm 82 played 10 years for fun. always learning more. Thanks for the help.

Seriously, you are good at explaining things so well. I'm a newish player and you explain things better than just about any other PB coach. Thank You!

I must say that the new videos are looking fantastic. The graphics makes it so much easier to visualize what you're teaching. Plus, this wholw Joshua Tree vibe is pretty awesome. Cant wait to learn more from you Connor. Take care and thank you for these great videos.

wow, the quality of your videos has greatly improved...not that you were bad before, but much better now. you're not going through the tips "lickity split" like you were before. I really like it. please don't change.

Love your videos! Excellent explanation - keeps it simple - hits the basics.

Excellent video, kept my attention the entire 19:21, Angle changes, animation and clear direction is excellent! Thank you!!!

You are THE best at explaining things.

I've only been playing about 3 weeks, and I am learning so much from you! You have great instructional skills - the lessons are really well-designed. Kenadi was on fire in this video. I'm hoping these techniques and some Cheerios will speed me up! :)

would you mind doing a Video on Footwear for pickleball?

Good job multitasking while talking while going through the drills/tutorials! Impressive!

I wish watching videos helped. I need to get up off the couch and practice!😢

Man your videos are A+ man loving it first time playing yesterday and addicted! Played tennis for 15 years but I'm in Ireland 🇮🇪 so we don't get the weather for outdoor or pickleball courts are indoors . Now to get myself a paddle ! Thanks again for the videos 😁

please do a video on specifically backing up in the court when you or your partner does a pop-up. how can i get better at recognizing the pop up faster and then backing up faster?

GREAT content here! Really nice job explaining the concepts of faster hands. I needed this!! Thank you🤩

Great tips! Also. Your sister is a fine player herself, a good asset to your channel 👌

I was taught to always get to the kitchen line as soon as possible so I have been doing this for years. But now that I'm older my reaction time is not as good, When I get in a volley war at the kitchen I miss a lot of hard shots because I just don't have enough time to react. A friend of mind suggested I back off about three feet from the line to give myself more time. I recently started doing it and found that it really helped.

This video answered my burning question/frustration I had!! Thank you

Great video !! Love the new filming location 👍

Excellent instruction. Thanks.

Great video. As I start playing with better players, this more advanced instruction becomes very valuable. Thanks guys!

Wow, just a ton of really great information. Thank you for doing this.

This is a good video. A lot of coaches will tell somebody just to do something for the sake of doing it because it works. You’re saying do something and then explaining why it works. Deeper learning can be had and application can now take place making it easier to remember. Very nice! Also great mental tip to stay prepared. Like a batter in baseball. They always need to expect a pitcher to go fastball. If the pitcher goes off speed then It’s much easier to adjust. If the batter expects off speed and the pitcher goes fastball, it’s getting blown by the batter every time.

Fantastic set up! Your instruction is very clear and helpful. Thanks for doing the videos 😊

❤your tutorials!!!

Kennedy is the best player😅

Man this is great! Shows us the skills then plays it out. Great work man keep it up! 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent video. Helps explain the context of technique in relation to the game for beginning and intermediate players.

Thank you for the video! I have a comment on your discussion of continental grip. I came to realization that the preferred grip may be also determined by one's wrist flexibility. I started with continental grip, it worked very well on my backhand, but I could not gain confidence in forehand volleys. My coach, Steve Paranto, advised me to switch to Eastern grip (and pointed out that several pros in our club have been moving to Eastern as well). This indeed fixed my forehand volleys without taking too much from backhand volleys. So, maybe, a more accurate way of putting it would be, continental grip should be a starting point, one should try and see how it works. If limitation is seen on one or the other side, adjust the grip. This applies even more to senior players. Some people just cannot be successful with continental.

Your videos are 👑 !!

Bro either there isn't a lot of people who play pickleball or you are not getting the subs and views you deserve.

Very useful video, tq

Great instruction.

Great video with lots of good tips!!

wow that sweet court and back ground scene thanks for the tips :) sean from Montreal

Enjoying your videos are I am trying to improve my game

Great drone footage... nice setup there btw, wide open spaces, outdoor projector. Tiki bar under the solar panels? :)

Thank you!! Very helpful 👍

Appreciate your videos. I’ve really enjoyed learning the game and practicing your tips. You’re clearly a Selkirk fan but what are your thoughts on the Engage Pursuit Pro and Pro1 line?

What are some paddles you recommend for a beginner that aren’t $200+ ? I have a tennis background, so I don’t consider myself a beginner in pickleball.

great video ... where is this filmed...looks great

Love your videos keep them coming!

Pretty court!

Question: in doubles, should you be “watching” where your partner be hitting the ball to which opponent or just be watching the “ball” on your opponent side?

Connor,, your teaching methods and skills to make it user-friendly are AWESOME... Love watching your videos... do you play pro tournaments? is your ranking 5.0?

The female player "K" played the best 👌 😊Great tips 👍 I'll try some today 😊

Great video!

So good

Great lesson.

Can you do a clip on counteracting players that just like to smash every shot please

Love your videos.

Great video

Looks like Arizona

How to best react to chickenwing shots

Who is the smoke show in the skirt?

😅thank you

Question - do you look and see every ball hit your paddle? With hand/eye sports, I find it's mostly a spacial awareness and muscle memory contact for me, unless I'm seeing but not registering?

That looks like Palm desert ? Maybe Arizona ? New house new court ? A hint as to your new location?

How do I jeep from popping the ball up? Gives my opponent the opportunity to put it away

I say Ken was playing best out of the four of you😊

Want fast reaction time? There's a practice training drill paddle.

Where are you, in the middle of the desert?

How would you explain JW Johnson's ready position?

Net kind of seems high no? doesn't dip in the middle, just a thought! let me know if im wrong :)

During the play section you all kept your racquets lower than you instructed

Going to buy a house close bye to help my game lol Plus free court

How do you recommend tracking the balls that your partner is hitting? Do you look directly at them or use your peripheral vision? Maybe some combination of both?

PS Excellent videos, my new favorite

Palm spring

Can I punch the back of my paddle when I hit the ball?

Kent

Knew this guy was sus when he said “Balls blasted at you from the back” 😂

You demonstrate a high quality in your understanding, and you instruct from a solid foundation, which I find rare today. I've only responded once on KZfaq, and that was to another of your caliber, but in tennis. 54 years ago, after playing with me for 30 minutes, the number one tennis player told me I was the best player he ever hit with. I've won national doubles tournaments in racquetball and paddleball. 74 now, playing pickleball and ping pong every day. I want to encourage you to continue playing. That's been my secret over the years... I only focus on playing. You can hit thousands of balls every session if you play with others who also want to keep the ball in play. Otherwise, I'd rather hit against a concrete wall (which I have logged thousands of hours against). Play till exhaustion, short break, rinse and repeat. Watch Cara Black volleys on wall to demonstrate. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lcmEm7R6zay3ip8.html

Who ranks me? I keep seeing all the 2.5 or 4.5 I come from volleyball and such sooo yea

Great video. You might want to work on your microphone setup however as the volume is a bit low.

Kennedy was the best

Y'all leave your off hands like limp noodles by your side. Make better use of your off hand for balance.

The camera that is positioned behind you has a large dust spot on the sensor. It shows as a dark smudge in the blue sky. Your sensor needs cleaning! I liked your video though.

I wish you would speak just a little slower, or speak more clearly. Sometimes I just miss what you say completely.

You guys live in a compound out in the middle of nowhere.

you thinks he gets mad when his sister showing all that leg? or he maybe he like it
