Thanks so much for filming and posting us! It was good meeting u!

Glad to see 4.5 level play that actually looked like play at that level! Third shot drop, a lot of dinking, then firefight, then reset, then dinking again, etc., all in the same rally is something you see at professional matches. That is real pickleball. Well done! One big mistake the young players make, that the older players took advantage of, is both young guys run for every lob. The young guys put themselves in a terrible defensive position with both of them back and the older players at the NVZ with a ton of angles available for their returns.

Rory, I absolutely love your channel! The commentary is helping one of my students learn the game better/faster. She is learning just how important getting to the kitchen is….and….why developing her dinking game is critical to advancement. BTW, I’ll be building an indoor facility within the next 6 months and appreciated you mentioning the surface of this new facility. I may reach out to you for other building recommendations. Thanks again for your teaching videos, Rory.

If you could keep a score tracker in the corner of the video it would def take it to the next level! Thx for posting.

Great match! I really enjoyed the play of both teams. And what a great example of figuring out the right game plan after losing the first set.

I’m glad you finally got to see some good lobs. You usually roast the lob, but it’s a great shot when it’s used effectively.

What a great match. It feels so good to see some young players playing so well with unbelieveble patience and skills. As for August and Ronnie, two great freinds and solid players, glad to see them playing so well. August has improved so much, my most improved player for last year for sure. Thanks for analyzing this match for your audience, alot to learn by watching a great match.

Great control by all. The change up made to flip the momentum in the games is just another visible way to tell they are higher level players. One thing I really like about pickleball is that normally the "ratings" work themselves out and in general it is a mix of overall play skill, age and sex to allow for great games based on close ratings. Thanks for posting this as it was a great watch.

Excellent match! Thanks for posting, Rory. I’ve learned so much by watching your videos!

Seems that they could have mixed in some drives at different situations. That’s been adopted more recently in the top pro matches as it changes things up and causes more disruption.

Thanks Rory! Great video!

Great match! Agreed-- more interesting than many of the 4.5 matches I've seen with a pure power game. Both teams were excellent. And I'm glad pickleball is being played at colleges now

Great pickleball. Controlled patient play. Hope I can get to that level someday.

What you do for the pickleball community with your insightful videos is tremendous. The level of play here is awesome as well. At 6:37 does Harrison break the plane of the net on the attempted Ernie?

That was great

Very high level play, Thanks for sharing.

High level cameras make PB very watchable. Thanks for sharing

Very useful commentary. Having the names of the players on the screen would help me keep them straight and immediately know who you are referring to.

I am not this good at my advanced age but I noticed that when my opponent is hitting a lob, his chin is up, not down as in a typical drop shot.

Good match; very interesting to watch.

Dude in the blue is solid but he’s like 60 years old staring these kids down after points 😂😂

Hi! Thanks for posting so much videos picking apart people's games! I've been learning so much. How do people submit a video for a pick apart?

Rory, thank you for selecting such a good game. I would appreciate your comments on what was done right in any game. For example, in addition to lobbing, what else was changed by the more experienced player to be able to win both the last matches in your opinion? Thank you for your instructive videos.

We see so many power hit games because lower level players just don’t take the time to truly learn the game pickleball they just want to hit the ball over the net as hard they can to win the point. I hope in the future as the sports becomes more popular people will become aware how the game be much more fun playing the soft game.

Could you do Jorey’s? I want to build my game plan for next match.

The two young bucks overuse deception, they'd probably play better if they didn't choreograph nearly every shot, I can only make it half way thru the vid, cheers. I'd push them harder, play much more aggressive against that style, they'd give up on the theatrics and have to play defence

This’s probably a 4.5+ match where both teams show a high level of skills but at the end, the most experience team won.

Not your fault Rory , but camera angle way too high to be able to see the apex arch of most balls in flight .

Ronnie looked like he's not using ready position. Maybe that's what's hurting him in some of those unforced errors.

Gold medal match on the honor system. Where is the referee?

After just four minutes into your video, I can see that you are not good. You say you don't know why the guy in red is not moving up to the kitchen, say he is making a mistake by staying back. No! He is not making a mistake. He is split-stepping and moving up after he makes a great reset. Your commentary is wrong. Down thumb.

Hey Rory, is there another social media outlet we can contact you at to submit a certain video to be picked apart on your channel?
