The whole side of that court is like 2 inches off that wall

did you see the cybertruck?

One question, with the flat push dinks, is your wrist cocked up or cocked down? I notice your wrist is cocked down. When hitting flat dinks consistently, is it better to have your wrist cocked down? Thanks!

Great information on taking away angles from your opponents and setting up your next shots. Is that a miniature golf course to the right of the courts or just some Astroturf grass?

I have had issues with people teeing off on long high returns. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Lot of words to say close hips/chest from target, then open hips/chest to target

Maybe get a partner so we don’t have to listen to you.

Just serve the ball , what stupid waste of time having these stupid rules , this is a game for babies, just play

Do you signal to your partner your intended placement of Return of Serve beforehand?

If i'm returning from the even side of the court and my partner is a rightie, I like to return back to server as close to the corner as possible. This lets my partner have a better chance to poach. I just have to make sure I got the deep angle 3rd shot drive if it comes.

May want to show video segments to demonstrate the shots in an actual game plays. It's kind of dry and hard to follow with only talking and throwing the ball around.

it could be a shorts video but not 9 minutes explanation ....

By bending your knees and lifting up on the shot allows you to accelerate the pendulum, this allows you create more topspin and in return you can hit the ball much harder with greater safety. Mass x acceleration= Force. This knowledge came from my great tennis coach that revolutionized the game of tennis, Oscar Wegner! Former Coach of 3x French open champion Gustavo Kuerten..

Another advantage to cross court return is it can be used to keep an aggressive mobile player back and stop them crashing the net on the 5th shot.

Thanks for the effort you put into your videos! The pro/con discussion is VERY helpful. BTW: Are these courts in Las Vegas? Are they public? If so, are you comfortable sharing what part of town they are in?

Kind of hard to memorize and use😢

Bro are you in St George?

It’s a tennis thang! 😉 Good points on one of the most important shots in the game 🤙🏽

You missed one important aspect. In tennis, rotate starting from your hip. Most of the power is generated through your legs, hip, then supported with your arm in motion. If you play tennis, bring that knowledge into this sport to dominate.

Good teaching Austin. Is this at the PICKLR in St George?

Like the setup in between 2 walls. Not a lot of chasing balls

Is it possible to do all the topspin dinks with the forearm instead of the wrist? Or the the wrist produce greater effect?

If you need slow motion replay analysis and a protractor, you arent really playing a sport. More like a game of chess.

I've hit that shot 100,000 times.😂😂😂😂😂 Here I am, I think I played a total of probably 100 times. Never "practiced" or drilled. I hit off the wall maybe, maybe ten times. Never played tennis or racquet sports. I'm wondering if I'm ready to play in 4.0 tournaments. Serious. In all fairness, I've spent 10X more time watching videos than actually being on the court due to being injured much of the time. I'm like Data that way. I can practice in my mind.😄

I hope you didn’t break into Connor’s house just to use his dink master?

I’ve watched many pb videos and this instructor is the clearest speaker both in terms of his explanations but also his voice. Excellent!

This is the best at-home drill video I've ever seen: thoughtful layout by having a summary at the beginning, clear instructions, explanations of why that make total sense. So great to be able to drill right at home any time you have a few minutes. I have saved this video and will follow it as often as possible. Thank you so much.

Don't let my kids watch this video, wall repair is expensive!!

great explanations

It's hard to control myself from backhand flick 'poaching' those tight diagonal shots that fly across 'my' NVZ. That's arguable who should take em. If they're this side of the transition zone, it's a lethal opportunity and sometimes you gotta send it

Wow, that was very unusual. Most content creators will do anything they can to make sure people watch the whole video. You offered a shortened version with the option of the longer version for those who have short attention spans or just don't want to put the time in. I find that quite commendable. Of course I watched the whole video because that improves your KZfaq metrics.

Thanks for the great insights. What do you think is the best pickleball picker-upper?

Nice play by play

They should set up a line a few feet behind the baseline and allow overhand serves from there. Too wimpy, this underhand stuff is.

Hey bud, I enjoy your show and am getting into pball somewhat seriously. Caught something that doesn't click in this video. You said they can't make an edgeless raw carbon fiber surface. Check out Thompson paddles. I'm digging mine pretty hard

The question is... why no one does a toss serve? It would add extra power and potentially spin, no?

That was the best video I've seen. You were very specific. I was looking for perfecting my volleys and you did it!

I love game analyses. Thanks!

I agree to hit to the stronger player but I want to challenge the weaker player to improve as well. Mix it up so that everyone improves. That’s what makes the sport so enjoyable.

Crbn bros, just too many unforced errors.

I am a highly ranked player, but it amazes me how many rec players cannot follow the ball correctly and do not hit floaters hard enough. Another thing they do is return the serve then run up to the kitchen and hit short stuff letting the serving team get to the kitchen easily. Just dumb.

Can we first establish the HIPS AND WAIST the band around his body is at HIS waist, hips are the sides of your legs not at your waist at all. Hips around would include your butt, waist is in naval area above the hips where a belt would ideally go. ESTABLISH THAT first then decide where ball hand arms should be

When explaining open stance (vs. closed stance) you say that you prefer rotating your non-dominant leg back rather than the dominant leg forward. I agree that you can get as much rotation, but you are moving backwards, which contradicts point three that you make, to move forward during the serve. You are detracting from the total speed of the serve by subtracting your body motion from your arm motion rather than adding the two together.

You have a nice attitude and demeanor and seem to be a great person to play with! Love your tips and I speed up cross court also trying to go across to outside of body so I don’t get my partner smashed back by triangle effect.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Wow, that's very cool! I'm gonna try this. Subscribing too!

Well done!!

you said that you simulate a real game, but in crosscourt situation , wouldn’t she attack the player standing in front of her since the distance would be less? great video btw!

Terrific analysis and great playing! On another note, I cancelled my Erne machine order as I did not like the way the company does business!
