Fantastic and great teacher thank you Sarah

Excellent! Great detail!

Love your teaching ,very helpful

What's wrong with tennis ?

Why is MAN narrating this?!! I wouldn’t buy just because of this!

Excellent teaching, thanks.

Just found your channel. You are very good at explaining how body positioning affects the hit. I hope you are still playing.😎

KEEP DOING VIDEOS! EXCELLENT!!

Thank you!!! So helpful 🏓!

clear and helpful

This is the best video that i have seen so far on this stroke. Lots of great tips on positions with detail. Thanks!

Great lesson.

Love this exercise so much! Thank you 😊

Thanks for the great content. This is an older video, are you still teaching the strokes the same way? As you are closer to the net, or are in the transition zone, do you stay more parallel to the net? Seems like there is not time to turn, make a backswing, etc…other than on a return of serve?

Awesome!

Terrific instructional tips, thanks! New subscriber!

You are awesome-finally starting to understand this shot!

This is probably the best video on pickleball groundstroke techniques I have seen on KZfaq. Very concise and well-illustrated demonstrations. She definitely knows her stuff.

I am ready to hit a third drop shot against big and tall opponents by the kitchen line. I get intimidated by the size of the big wall and I feel that if my third drop shot is slightly higher than I meant to hit, then they are going to nail me. How do I approach this kind of situations?

My coach gives the same advice. This is such a great demonstration - I'm saving it so I make sure to follow through.

Paddle tracking is one of the best ways to elevate your game! Hitting the ball in front of you comes from paddle tracking and good readiness. At the end of a long tournament day, paddle tracking will help keep you focused!

Thank thank you 🙏

What bathroom does he use

Nice got to master the drop and drive 💪

Informative video but if I can add something. Camera work could be better. Pan out so we can watch everything, and less movement of the camera.

I just saw a video with Lee Whitwell talking about a similar thing, but I think Sarah covered it much better. I watched this video 3 years ago, and it has helped me tremendously. I even take it a bit farther (doing something I think is implied here, but not explicitly stated) in that I turn and watch my partner hit the ball if it goes beyond me (mostly when I start at the NVZ and my partner is working their way up to it, but also when my partner is serving). This enables me to see where my partner's shot is going as soon as they hit, which gives my more time to figure out where the opponent's shot is going to be coming from, and position my self accordingly. It also helps with line calls. I'm shocked at how many players at my level don't watch their partner's shots and so don't know where they're hitting until the ball crosses the net. That gives very little time to adjust for the response. Sarah was one of the first players I ever watched and is one of the smartest players in the game, imo. To this day, I vividly remember a rally I saw 3 or 4 years ago where her mixed doubles partner, (Kyle Yates, maybe?) crossed in front of her to take a smash shot, and his momentum carried him well off the court, and I think he may have even stumbled or fell. The opponents returned the shot, and Sarah continued the rally, one against two, for several shots before finally WINNING the rally. You could tell she knew exactly where the opponents were going to hit. That rally is what made me watch some of her instructional videos. Keep it up, Sarah.

Great video. Agree...bowling analogy will stick in my head (and I'm not a bowler!). Thank you for clear, concise info on technique.

that sound must annoy the tennis players. it's too loud for indoors.

Another great tip , thank you ,

Recently discovered (and subscribed to) your feed. Find your articulation of whatever topic at hand very helpful. Thanks, Sarah!

Actually pulled a muscle pretty badly in my back yesterday while playing. Will start this practice once healed!!

Bowling analogy just sparked a huge lightbulb

Thank you very much.

The explanation is not very deep, so I'll have to take it to the court and see how it goes.

Just what I needed to practice, thank you

Thanks

Excellent video - best one I’ve seen on pickleball technique- please make more!

Great video.

I've transitioned from tennis to pickleball. I was a 4.5 tennis player w/a much better than average overhead. However, I suck at most any shot over my head in pickleball. I occasionally will wiff the misses are so bad. Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Maybe just 40 years of muscle memory is getting in my way?

Really enjoy your videos, I'm a beginner and play with intermediate/advanced players...wasn't sure how to handle their hard shots when I'm standing at the kitchen. I'll work on this more. Can you make a video on practicing on a wall or alone? I can't always find someone to hit with and would like to practice more on my own.

Thank you very much. Even 5 years later, still pertinent.

When swinging with forehand ground strokes, you should semi-post up on left leg. Don’t get caught swaying to much.

so where are you hoping that the ball lands? In the kitchen or in the no mans land zone?

Thank you very much. Still works today. Enjoy.

is the grip light??

Are you resetting the shots by returning into the kitchen?

Thanks Sarah, I love your lessons and will definitely drill with your method.

I learn better by watching and imitating. Thanks for a really good tutorial.

Very simple. I tried it. It made a big difference. Thank you
