If Amrik can fix Chris Olson’s counters I’ll make him the head coach of all of my clinics, and I’ll be the assistant

@PickleballStudio 2 ай бұрын

You’re going to have to define “fixed”. I’ll stop reviewing paddles for 6 months to make this happen. 😂

Chris, this lesson is going into your Hall of Fame videos with your Two Handed Backhand lesson. Both incredible gems, so much information!!!

@chasyboy1 2 ай бұрын

Chris, look at the shape of his 'hand' at the finish after contact and compare that to yours. You have a twist, almost slice motion through contact vs. block and push. Because of that, you feel the need to make a swing, as it's the only way for you to come 'over' the ball to hit down. It would be interesting if you took a video of yourself going between a reset and a counter. See of the wrist movement is similar and if your 'finish' shape is optimal for accuracy and pace. Great job...thanks for sharing. Sent it to over 30 people already!

Loved this video. I think you do an amazing job of editing these longer lessons so we still get a lot of details but there aren’t large sections that are redundant. Also like your additional commentary

Great presentation! I particularly like the high resolution slow-mo close-up comparison shots.

I've also recently discovered that staying low isn't just useful at the kitchen. If you have trouble returning low hard hit serves, the simple act of lowering your viewpoint down closer to the level of the ball makes it sooo much easier to handle.

@user-oo9hr6xx9q 2 ай бұрын

Thirds are easier too if you get low

@johnp1 2 ай бұрын

Right on. This is why tennis pros lower their bobies when returning first serves.

@skrueger78 2 ай бұрын

You need to stay low for every shot but overheads. Makes the game way easier

@gregoryhall3958 2 ай бұрын

I’ve also found this to be very true. Bad knees makes it more challenging, but rewarding when it can done. I love this game!!!!

Your instructor gives real-world instruction. I like the "leaning back" critique. He should have his own instructional videos. He's that good.

@kobykat1065 2 ай бұрын

As an older player with sore knees, to hear a pro tip that doesnt involve tons of footwork is heavenly! Nose over toes and don’t move your feet as much! I can do that.

@RunningManOH 2 ай бұрын

Along with your two hand backhand lesson with Aanik Lohani, this will become another of my most repeatedly watched lessons. Great stuff!

Absolutely loved this video!! The clear concise instruction without being too verbose was amazing!

@nadzoll 5 күн бұрын

OMG Chris. This is exactly what I need work on, and letting go of my twoey backhand as well. I found myself practicing the shots along with you, leaning forward, staying on the balls of my feet, and bending knees. The best video of yours ever! Oh, and thank you for exposing your weakness to us so we can learn along with you. Cheers!

@BenjaminAndersonPickleball 2 ай бұрын

Chris, your approach to improvement in this video is excellent. I especially like the counter drill where they feed you a slower ball to work on form and the idea of putting a water bottle behind your feet to help prevent movement. Thanks for sharing! It's given me some ideas for improving my own counters.

@t81629 22 күн бұрын

One of the best teacher's, if not the best, I've seen. I've seen his highlight real, insane player.

@luckyuliveHI Ай бұрын

This is one of the best pb vids I've watched. Seems like 90% of instructional vids focus on the same things... Just different YT'ers saying the same stuff. This one presented very specific actions to take and the reason behind those actions as well what to look for to initiate the counter. 👍🏾

@peteherrera1502 2 ай бұрын

Great teacher and great lesson. Thanks for sharing

@giovannidavinci20 Ай бұрын

Chris, I noticed that your paddle tends to face up while you were contacting the ball. That is why most of the time your countering ball was flying up. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your video of your lesson with Amrik. He is one of best in explaining what to do at the kitchen with your preparation and stance. I learned quite a lot of new information on how not to move your feet but cover your side of the court. Adding some new skills keeps the game interesting and challenging.

@gabeanderson8816 Ай бұрын

Chris that posture change at 17:00 changed you from looking like you’re “trying your best” to powerful athlete. Keep it up 🫶🏼

@rickdoerner7750 2 ай бұрын

Thanks Chris and Amrik for a great video/teaching tool! I'm very new to Pickleball, and I know I make many of the same mistakes, as well as others. Now I understand the imortance of bending my knees and really getting low, leaning forward and being ready, and not leaning back. Can't wait to try the corrections on the court! Also, the explanation of Ben Johns movement taking dinks on court was very helpful. I'm in Cuenca, Ecuador and don't have all the resources available, that we're used to in the US. There are quite a few hard core picklers here, but we have to broom, sweep, and groom (blow leaves) our 3 courts every day.

Really enjoyed this video. I am having the same problems of moving my feet too much and not getting low enough too. Looks like more things to work on, but it should help my game with my counters and letting lower out balls go out. Thank you, Chris and Amrik.

I think your analytical approach to pickleball and receiving instruction makes for a very insightful video. Amrik is also very good and clear in his instruction and good on video. The two of you make a great instructional pair.
