Which of these shots do you struggle with?

@krispaul10 6 ай бұрын

Love this video. I teach pickleball and often have a session called “The first 4 shots” but will now add the 5th shot. I would like to see Caden hit those 4th shots from the FH side as well as the BH side in the video. And maybe show how to hit without only a roll volley. Most of my students are 2.5-3.5 and are not at the roll volley stage yet. Thank-you!!!

@kathleenmontavon8630 6 ай бұрын

I have a great what I call driving drop (lots of topspin) but hitting a drop that 1) goes over the net, 2) isn't high and easily attackable is very difficult. In both drilling and playing, I'm only at about 10%. 😢

@bretwallach9863 6 ай бұрын

If it's windy and especially if the wind is behind me, my 3rd shot drops are dismal and I usually give up and just drive the 3rd shots. If it's not windy, then I find the 5th shot the most challenging and the percentage that I can reset into the kitchen is fairly low.

@Ke875 5 ай бұрын

Back hand drive and third shot !

@Powerstroke98 3 ай бұрын

Not so much myself, as I'm fairly agile, but on occasion, after several long serves, the opposition will throw in a short (just past the kitchen line) so being two or three full steps behind the serving line, this short serve can be very effective, yet troublesome especially for senior players. I like where it was mentioned to follow through when serving, as it's something I can often forget, albeit I still get my serves to the 2/3 back of their court, but something I'lll try and adapt to. I like the idea you mentioned, on 'lift', so I'll be telling myself that a lot today!

Great to see the both of you and view the great tips that you always make available to everyone. I am trying to reset the volley when I get onto a one on one battle at the net which is difficult to do. Rather than rely on quick hands I would like to redirect the fast incoming shots at the net to the right or left of my opponent and keep it low. I'll hopefully be back in AZ for a month and would like to get together again. Mery Christmas & Happy New Year.

I have been watching your video since I was a beginner and I can't tell how much help your videos offered me. Now I am working on the 5th shot/ resetting in the NVZ. Can you explain how to absorb the power? I realize that you have a little slice motion in the video. Is that necessary?

Not necessary. The simpler the better. You can just lift the ball slightly with your shoulder.

I've learned a ton from your content/lessons... but isn't 4:23 "running through the return"? Just a bit confusing to immediately follow "your weight should always be moving forward" with a tip to not "run through" your return.

@Andy123Harris1 5 ай бұрын

Minor point is that the 4th shot demonstration started with the assumption that the player was planted in an ideal position just behind the kitchen line. In reality you're moving in from having played the return and have to weigh lots of possibilities on-the-fly, e.g. "how good/deep was my return?" or "are they shaping up to drive or drop?" or "is it their weaker side?". Covering these possibilities often mandates a split-step for me, even if I'm not quite at the NVZ.

I struggle with returning a backhand perfect drop shot at the corner and usually pop the ball and in 5the shot the opponents just kill the ball in next shot. I struggle to decide at the moment where to place the ball with the backhand, should I use single hand or double hand to place well.

Serve…. All points great….. however, varying the pace of the serve from a drive, to a partial lob , a full lob should be included Return of serve….. all points great….however, with your partner at the kitchen line with their back to you, the location of the return is something to consider and a return with very little pace or a partial lob allows the returner time to get to the kitchen line where their partner is at the return Third shot great Fourth shot great Fifth shot great Contacting the ball out front allows 1. Increased paddle speed at contact 2. Provides body movement forward at contact

The EXAMPLEs you show are of him “running through the return” (oops) - and then the very next tip is him saying “don’t run through the return” and he demonstrates how to do so (Good?

Nice but maybe include/discuss a 3rd shot drive to set up a 5th shot drop. When was a beginner I was told to drop 3rds that were deep. It wasn't until i was at intermediate level that I understood the concept of a 3rd drive to set up a 5th drop. Maybe more for the intermediate level but its good to know when you're approaching the 3.5 level.

On the 5TH shot: you probably should not be in that spot on the court ( halfway between the base line and the kitchen). Patience and awareness is key to prepare for a 5TH shot. If third shot is good you should be close to the kitchen and if the 3RD shot is bad you should be retreating back close to the baseline. This halfway position is a major problem in the process of climbing the ladder to be better.

@liz-sy2lj 6 ай бұрын

i think the hardest shot is the 5th shot drop, because of so many things: the split second you have to decide if it should be taken out of the air or not, the split second evaluation of the 3rd shot drop and whether to stay back or take 2 steps in, the split step, and the tendency to swing. But more than anything, the drop shots require that i retrain my brain to hit softly, even when the stupid bangers in the group are hitting every single shot as hard as they can--usually because they're stupid men that are trying to prove how macho they are. that's the really hard part. i think you should make two videos: one on how stupid bangers are; and the other one on how to slow the game down with drops just so you can watch the bangers cry at the end.

4TH shot: asses your partners return before getting all the way to the kitchen line. If your partner hits a weak short return you now can be a target. This is another reason to make sure you hit a good deep return. If the return is short then wait before advancing to much because now you maybe playing defense. Try to work your way to the kitchen.

@CameronPickle 6 ай бұрын

Being stationary on return contact is bad advice. Hitting while moving is necessary. Rarely will any serve pin you to an uncomfortable position even in high level. Line it up and move through it - yes in the move. Errors occur when in final step before contact you rise up aka jump. Keep your head level and move thru it. Forward movement is a great substitute for overswinging.

@BrionesPickleball 6 ай бұрын

Never once did we say be stationary. Lol

@CameronPickle 6 ай бұрын

Stationary contact telegraphs your options. It says "here is my plane of contact, watch me wait". Allowing stillness to creep into your game is a bad habit. Being dangerous involves lining it up and reaching forward to explore options. There is an optical illusion to moving forward thru shots. This deception keeps your opponent choosing wrong.
