There are a lot of average to good videos on KZfaq, but I think your videos are by far the best and most complete. Great job again.

Great instruction, thank you. Takeaways: Loose grip, Contact point in front about knee height, use shoulder, don’t take the ball on the rise, constant swing speed - shot is a “push” (vs accelerating).

Best 3rd shot drill I've seen and I've watched many. Thanks ladies.

One of the best teaching videos ever. So clear, straight to the task and great demos Thank you make more!!!!

I’ve been playing for less than a year, LOVE the game! I’ve been trying to improve my shots and technique from watching KZfaq videos. Recently found yours and have learned SO MUCH! Thank you for the great instruction videos.

Watching advanced players at tournaments do this drill and this video explained it perfectly.

Outstanding information here regarding the most critical shot for high level players👍

One of the better instruction videos I've seen. Nicely done and very informative in a concise pleasant presentation. Thanks. I'm gonna use this drill right away.

Great video.. She generates a lot of top spin with her stroke...loves the way she emphasizes that her shot is really the same from a dink to a drop...awesome video

Thank you Simone and Catherine.

Another fantastic video, Simone. Thank you for bringing in Catherine, as well. Well done.

Excellent commentary play off of each other in explaining the drills.

Great drill !! Nice tips from 2 of the best players out there !!

Was thinking the exact same thing! Very glad to have found this channel today.

Catherine does a very good job explaining this skill. The drill makes good sense too.

Awesome lessons!! Thanks heaps!

Thanks coach Parenteau! Great instructions, just started a month and half ago and I learned my third shot drop from this video. Again thank you!

Great practice drills! Thanks you two!!! :)

Love it! Great insight and techniques from two great gals - Simone and Catherine :-)

Great drills from two great players!

You two ladies make drilling fun! I so very much enjoyed my training sessions with the Academy this past winter.

Great video. Thank you ladies!

That was fun to watch!

I really enjoy all of Simone's videos! Thank you!

Great video. Loved watching you both at Nationals!

Excellent video gals. Thank you. I am having problems with the third shot drop galore from the base line. I will practice that drill.

Thank you! Five Stars 🌟

Pretty amazing like you both are having so much fun!

Fantastic explanations!! Simone and Friends is great!!

Love this video! Exactly what I need. Thank you!!! ❤❤❤

Makes it look soooooh easy. But it absolutely isn't easy. Great drills Tks!

Loved this video. You both gave great pointers on what to look at and when to advance or move back on dinks. Thank you both!

Love your Video. My game has improved just by me watching your video and of course doing those drills you recommend thank you so much

Very good, fun to watch

♥️♥️♥️ Pickleball from San Diego

Great video, look forward to seeing you both in Bonita Springs this winter.Booking lessons soon.. :)

Excellent tips!

This was really good!!!!

This was awesome.

Struggling a bit lately with my 3rds here in Jan 2021. This is still a very good video. Thanks for the help Catherine and Simone.

It was so great to see you both play in person at nationals last week! One of the things I noticed Simone in your play against the Newmans as you played with Kyle Yates was that you did the lion's share of the work for your team at the net with the soft short shots and then resets from the transition zone. Your body position was nearly the same with the key factor being your buoyancy and effectiveness with staying low to the ground keeping your knees bent and striking the ball on the rise. I had a perfect seat to do this as I was one of the line judges for that match. Amazing experience. Could you talk about what you recommend for us mere mortals to build our lower body strength for endurance and explosiveness when needed? Appreciate you!

Simone and Catherine would make an amazing competitive time 🥇

Loved seeing the point play out at 6:58

Very good drill thanks

Nice video thank you.

Got to meet both of you in Indian Wells. Outstanding players and you both represent what is the best of Pickleball on and off the court. Look forward to coming down to Fla and getting some first hand instruction Again, these continue to be the best drill and skill videos on You Tube. Keep em coming.

Great vid

Great drill practice, thank you ladies so much. well done!

Simone, you are one step ahead of me! I was recently watching Parenteau in a tournament and noticed how few of her 3rd shot drops are attacked. I said I'm going to watch some video on her 3rd shot and study how to copy it. What do you know, you posted the video for me to do exactly that! Thank you!

Nice.

I'd like to see these two ladies on the same team 👍

GRACIAS

You gals are very good.

This was so helpful. Thanks! Do you have any good drills to help players learn to hit most of their balls through the "window" (no higher than the height of a paddle) above the net?

You both need to do a training clinic (camp)!! 💕

Great video! Just curious what ball you are using? I think I know, nice pop to it. Thanks!

Great, specific advice, thank you!! It looks like Catherine's forehand was topspin and the backhand was a slice, is this typically the case?

Is the third shot always aim the kitchen? Or is it better to hit deep to the opponent. Or is it depends whether it's doubles or singles thank you and I always enjoy your tips

I’m new to this sport, and was wondering what is the difference between a wooden racket and the carbon ones?( not talking about price and weight). Also I see there are different color balls, does each color mean something?

I just started on Dec 3, 2022. I come from a table tennis background. How do we maintain the paddle? I always clean it with just water after all games. Is that necessary?

What kind of racquet do each of you have?

Great videos. I want to ask which grip is best for the 3 shot drop. The semi western or a continental.

Catherine's Backhanded drops are ideal. She's slowing the pace of the ball and letting it DROP into the kitchen. Her forehand is not as effective as she's kinda flipping the ball back. Any ball with pace or spin will likely go into the net. Watch Tennis players on their drop shots and see what they do..

I practice working my way forward rather than backing up.

How do you avoid feet injuries with pickleball in general.

"Simonee"

Great video but difficult to hear voices with background noise. Perhaps time for some wireless mics!

Can somebody list these ladies' paddles? I'm color blind.

Hmmm, I don't think many of those third shot drops would make it over the revolutionary new IPTPA training aid the Apex.

Simonee? I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it with an extra e.

Very difficult to hear clearly and understand. Slow down!

Great video, good illustrations of how to do it, it's quite clear a lot of practice is required.
