10 Pickleball Strategies I WISH I Knew Earlier...

[@anthonyt0808]

This video is by far The BEST ever seen; so much so that I am sharing it with my local team which plays several other communities in our county league. I'm confident we'll win more lines by its strategies shown.

[@ponkey8569]

Thanks so much for including strategies and making videos on both right and left handed players (as I'm a leftie). Keep it up, love your channel!

[@buruguduystv2961]

I really like your videos. I've been playing for 3 weeks now and my game has greatly improved because I learned from your videos.

[@BillyBluesGuitar]

I like to mix my placement on serves with deep shots at the body. I like your tennis comparisons with strategy and tactics.

[@MrBagahdonuts]

Thanks!

[@EnhancePickleball]

🙏🙏

[@jkeiffer]

I also think I'll need to share this. Lots of great info in here. Nice job! 👍

[@puppa110]

Thanks bro.. please put a video for singles strategies as well

[@vincecepeda247]

Excellent video! I wished I had viewed this video piece years ago! Thank you so much! 🎉

[@char271lie]

As always, great points illustrated by great videos. Do you have a video explaining how to return different types of spin (top, side and slice)? Thanks, Charlie

[@one5749]

Thank you so much for your videos, they have taught me so much. I’m wondering how often should a person drill ?

[@jaymecriscione6791]

Thanks for all the tips!

[@EnhancePickleball]

Our pleasure!

[@recoveringbum]

tip #8 is gonna be a game-changer for me...i was definitely getting killed in/around the transition zone since i wasn't sure on when to move towards the kitchen

[@cbvoicenotes267]

Thanks for putting this one together guys! I really did appreciate the aspect of being able to mix up serve spin types(12:55)which showed how affective you can be on your first shot...continue posting this awesome content!!😉

One terminology that a lot of people use differently is “push dink”. Tyson McGuffin says push dink to mean a topspin roll dink. Brayden from Pickleball Effect says push dink to mean a dink with no spin. You use it to mean an aggressive dink at their feet at the kitchen line. We should try and come together and unify the meaning of push dink.

[@michaelwang8195]

I generally find offensive or aggressive dink to most intuitively cover this concept though I hear the other terms all the time

[@bicyclethief]

push dink is any offensive dink, while lift dink is a defensive/reset. push is more horizontal force, while lift is obviously vertical. i think that's how most ppl define those terms

[@douglasmurdoch7247]

@@bicyclethief I agree with Brayden from Pickleball Effect that a push dink is a flat dink without topspin or backspin on it. An offensive dink with topspin is called a roll dink. A dink with backspin is called a slice dink. And a push dink is a dink hit flat. You never want to be popping up a dink, all dinks should be kept low, so I can't imagine why someone would use a lift dink.

[@bicyclethief]

@@douglasmurdoch7247 lol you think you can hit an offensive dink everytime? when you're under heavy pressure, you reset w/ a lift dink, dropping it short and let the close proximity of the net help defend you.

[@bicyclethief]

@@douglasmurdoch7247 the problem here is that you want names for the different types of dinks according to spin or lack thereof. that's fine. but push and lift dink are also conceptual names to relay the idea of offensive dinks that can pressure an opponent into an error or popup vs defensive dinks that help someone under pressure get back to neutral.

[@marvindennis3664]

Serve: change of pace, spin and trajectory. Always trying to keep it deep. I like to spin (kick right) from the left side and jam my opponent on that right hip. I've found that hitting that hard does not work as well as when I take some pace off. The ball moves better off the court when it's hit a bit softer.

[@davidmoyle3769]

My favorite change-up serves are the screwball and its cousin the backhand slice serve which curves in the other direction.

[@pats300zx]

Great video as always. When are you releasing your training ball?

[@AnnetteGreen]

Excellent tips as I’m moving from beginner to more advanced in my game. Can you provide the link to the mic you’re using please?

[@johnp1469]

Good stuff

[@GregKiger-on8jw]

The best videos out there

[@LenoreS430]

Good info!

[@fordyceeldred9409]

Good stuff!

[@leo-cg4hy]

Hey, in a 2v2 match. Does both players on the serving side have to play back or is that just the best way to start the serve? As in is it illegal to serve when your partner has their foot on the line or he's still inside a bit

[@ThatRaisinTho]

The servers partner can be anywhere, but it makes no sense to be anywhere but far back because in the serving team’s next hit, they have to let the ball bounce.

[@leo-cg4hy]

@ThatRaisinTho 👍 thanks, My teammate was mocking the other team by prowling on the ground with his hands over the line as I called ace with a nasty curve that froze both opponents. It left all of us looking like why no one hit it. So because I called ace, the only comeback was that my teammate wasn't behind the line. I told them what you just said. It's legal but benefits them.

[@jerrywelsh3366]

It would be helpful to include a partner’s decision criteria and moves to the same shits in this video. Most are involved in doubles.

[@rachy9801]

are push dinks flat?

[@cbvoicenotes267]

Usually a push dink is fairly flat with a straight swing ark...

[@eddevera-z7y]

👌🎾👌

[@blessedmandy1]

What is the kitchen? I’m so confused 😐

[@ThatRaisinTho]

The zone close to the net that you can’t hit volleys from! These videos generally assume that you know the rules already.

[@jackeddemon]

What if we’re both lefty?

[@pablouribe622]

Then you'd want the stronger player on the right side to cover more of the middle. Same principle.

[@ThiccBoi23]

screwball serve is my favorite after the topspin serve... lob serve I'll use 2-3 x a game, at least once with each player and see how they handle it. If they completely screw it up I'll give them a 2nd lob serve in the game.

[@xxx-ff9gw]

Wtf even is pickle ball lmao

[@MatthewOchoa]

It’s extremely fun bro. I tried it this past weekend in a tournament. Bought some paddles the next day to continue playing.

[@mikeoliver861]

Stupid name/GREAT game!
