This is a great video, very informative, about aspects of pickleball that other coaches and pros on KZbin just do not cover, or don't cover them well. Good work.

[@MuratKilci]

Watch a looooot of PB videos on KZbin. This is truly one of the best videos I watched for my level. Thank you.

[@GerryDJ-b9t]

Great stuff, the hardest part is applying each of these tips in the proper circumstance and that only comes about with constant exposure and practice. Thanks Shea.

[@sheaunderwood]

Very true, thanks for watching 🫡

[@codyallenproductions]

When I see a new shot or concept my favorite way to practice is to drill that shot with a partner, helps me get a ton of reps in and build some muscle memory

[@kenk684]

One of the best lesson videos I've seen. Thanks for the tips!

[@stymeron]

Great summary!

[@KrisantaCanCan]

Thank you! ❤

[@hoyvintagecycles2936]

This was very helpful advice for a 10 month player at the 3.9 level trying to move up!!! thanks. subbed.

[@charlespendergast4882]

Agree, One of the best!!! Thanks Shea

[@tanthony3895]

Excellent stuff!! Thank you!!!!!!!

[@ronbowers9452]

[@MichaelEverheartt]

[@chrispannerz4084]

Awesome video, great content, no BS and great editing.

[@lizlemon9632]

Brilliant…thank you.

[@TheMary0831]

This is awesome stuff. Thanks so much, Shea.

[@shashaw.324]

Best summary!

[@KoletheCotter]

Amazing in-depth video

[@user-di6lr9ln9p]

I like your descriptions of movement , placement and why. I would like more visual examples in your videos. Great tips though. Looking for your other videos

[@apatel1702]

Very helpful and agree this will definitely help improve my game lot better! Especially, tip # #6 & 7 (dinking pattern and lift/push dinking strategy ) definitely my weakness. So I will implement your idea. I am only little over year into pickleball and your videos are very helping improving my game. Now let see if I can take my game from 3.75 to over 4!! Thanks for the tips!

[@pickleballinwithdave]

Really well done

[@alliver707]

This is really good! I’ll be sending to my friends and rewatching this to help me level up!

[@gymleaderjake1579]

One more tip for returning back spin sliced 3rds. The backspin causes the ball to fly farther so stay farther away from backspin so you're not trying to hit it close to your body

[@sheaunderwood]

Really good point. That’s a super common mistake.

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

This was a great video Shea! I would love to see more tips like this. Especially a speedup video with different speedup demonstrations since you said it was underutilized.

[@stevenhopster9974]

Wow!!!! Thanks, Shea.

[@sheaunderwood]

You got it bro 🤝

[@charlesmuller120]

Great tips Shea! Thanks!

[@sheaunderwood]

You got it 🤝

[@afterthesmash]

11:20 This has been great, but this tip runs counter to other professional advice. When facing a down-the-line threat from out wide, you can camp on that, because an advanced partner will cover right up to your shoulder on the other side. That's what I've been told from several different channels. In my own play, I've recently begun stepping back off the line by half a step far more often, and it's a big help in many situations.

[@ER_aka_RAM]

Cool… now everyone knows 😉 … excellent insight! Thanks 🤙🏽

[@Leonardokite]

Good info Shea....thanks 👍

[@sheaunderwood]

Thanks for the support!

[@CWB367]

Nice work with the content! Appreciate the info!

[@sheaunderwood]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PKB-AG]

I've never heard the term shot peaking but have seen the concept before. Makes sense but is very foreign when starting out - I remember these shots not feeling right and thinking that I was giving them a pop up. Then one of my first drops confused someone newer and I knew then it was right. I also love the alternating dink types. I do what I call a two/one. two dinks to you and if you handle them, my next goes to the other player. You've given very dense helpful advice here - much thanks.

[@sheaunderwood]

Thats awesome! Really smart way to think about the dinking strategy.

[@stephenlarkin3377]

36” on ends and 34 “ in middle

[@natehendricksen3338]

Great stuff.

[@sheaunderwood]

Thanks Nate!

[@stegleryo]

Really good tips in this video. Many players I play with are so afraid to back up on pop ups then wonder why the ball just whizzed past them.

[@sheaunderwood]

If you ever have that “oh crap” moment. Take a step back! It’s amazing how many balls you can get back if you don’t give up on them.

[@MD-hk8xq]

it would be nice to hear you explain how to make ball peak on your side before falling over net

[@robertw4196]

Try to get more loft than you are currently getting. Basically aim a little higher with the same speed that you are currently hitting

[@bellarose6995]

Your comet is awesome

[@sheaunderwood]

Comet?

[@miguelrivera1291]

Where is this at? The views are beautiful!

[@sheaunderwood]

This is in Hayesville, NC

[@sesamesprinkles]

7:07 is that an intentional thing? For the net to be lower in the center? I get cause gravity but now that you mentioned it I wonder if that’s an intentional thing for pickleball court nets

[@sheaunderwood]

Yeah! The rules mandate it’s 34 inches in the middle and 36 inches on the sides

[@johannkriz5138]

Great video - just one point, you can never ever add topspin with an open racket face!

[@sheaunderwood]

Maybe not if it’s facing directly towards the sky like this | but if it’s open like this / then of course you can. It’s the only way to generate top-spin. If your paddle face is closed like this \, you will hit the ball in the ground. It’s different than tennis in that way.

[@DesieveWagner]

my guy this is a sport for old people and Mobily impaired people. People your age play tennis stomping your great grandfather at a sport designed for the old and disabled is confusing
