Can 2 5.0 Pickleball players take down a top 10 ranked Professional singles player in a 2 on 1 game?

[@drunkenmaster389]

Great video. I just started playing Pickleball a few weeks ago and it's so much fun. Is your shot at 0:38 legal?

[@rdwilander]

I've been waiting for this vid!! Great to see your ability to stay focused even when things are on the edge and you fight through.

[@johncincolapickleball]

Thanks!! It was a tough one for sure.

[@PickleballJourney]

You’re a beast John! Fun playing 👊

[@JackyPlays]

Awesome match! great job Brandon and Justin! can't wait to see the video from your perspective

[@johncincolapickleball]

Thanks, it was a lot of fun. I have a feeling if we did that again it would be a very different result

[@deannacarstens9618]

Great video! I agree…you’re a force & a beast! Keep ‘em coming! Proud to know you.

[@johncincolapickleball]

Thanks so much Deanna 😃

[@rexgoodheart3471]

Interesting video. I guess I'm left wondering how two 5.0 players wouldn't have run you from side to side on most points to create empty spaces and open shots.

[@MattPetrowsky]

John, this is the first of your videos I've seen. Really good idea! Unique content and fun to watch the challenge aspect. I hope this does well for you as the making money playing tournaments part gets harder and harder due to depth of field. You've got a new subscriber.

[@JoshuaKeel]

Still amazing that you were able to win a match off two 5.0+ players. Really cool video series!

[@johncincolapickleball]

Thanks Josh, I’m having a lot of fun with it! And it’s good training too

[@chrisf234]

After watching a video like this, people who complain about only losing because they have a bad partner, look what this guy did by himself! Wow! Amazing court coverage!

[@rjsophia3712]

I subscribe to Pickleball Journey. Great channel!! John, I tell everyone about your awesome channel and your ability to break down your instructional videos - I have learned so much!!! Keep up the great work!🎉

[@johncincolapickleball]

Thanks so much! I appreciate the support

[@josephsutton8124]

How do you set up your paddle out of the box?

[@johncincolapickleball]

I put about 1/2 ounce of lead tape in the handle and a half ounce around the 4 corners of the paddle. I also remove the grip and just use 1 over grip right on top of the handle.

[@LakeHuron]

Beast mode, I’m ready to see more cincola on the PPa tour.

[@johncincolapickleball]

Let’s go 💪. I’m coming out with a vengeance this year! Thanks

[@StarvinLG]

Dumb question, early in the video you seemed to hit the ball around the side of the net when their shot skipped over. Do you not have to hit it OVER the net if the ball bounces to the side?

[@johncincolapickleball]

That’s correct. It’s called an ATP (around the post). If the ball is hit on a wide enough angle in the court you can go around the net rather than over. Fun!!

[@fan0423]

Just FYI tennis has the same rule but it's a lot more common in pickleball.

[@a.j.6018]

👏👏👏 You’re a beast John! I can’t imagine myself playing two players at once. 😅

[@voiceofreason9238]

It's a good practice game for everybody. Playing skinning singles is even better for the two-team as it forces them to be more precise with returns.

[@johncincolapickleball]

Yeah, it’s great practice. Just gotta play aggressive and take it to them!

[@samkleinsasser359]

Great video

[@johncincolapickleball]

Thanks Sam!

[@kosanmr2]

awesome match!

[@johncincolapickleball]

Thanks!

[@brandonancona9925]

John’s a beast. Lots of fun!

[@johncincolapickleball]

Thanks Brandon. That was super fun! I really had no business winning and got a little lucky at the end.

[@mbr05c]

The answer would be for the team with two players to play the same way they would in a doubles match. It would force the other player into a ridiculous scenario with too much court to cover. The more they try to drive and play singles, the more mistakes they are making.

[@johncincolapickleball]

Yeah, that’s pretty much correct. It isn’t as easy as it sounds though. Since I’m by myself I’m playing extremely aggressive and speeding up at the first opportunity I get. It’s tougher for them to keep it slow be aide I’m pushing the issue

[@dominionn09]

What paddle is the white Engage?

[@johncincolapickleball]

I’m pretty sure it’s an Engage Encore MX 6.0

[@eprohoda]

How’s life?.so perfect picture, all the best! 😮

[@johncincolapickleball]

Can’t complain anytime you play Pickleball for a living 😀. Thanks

[@bretts5571]

Hes showing off

[@johncincolapickleball]

🤷‍♂️

[@SamSung-pn6il]

Shouldn't this be a format in tournaments? The separation should be at most 1 rating point.

[@sheenasamtani]

They are not 2.5 , lol

[@JTGA38NG]

Guy in white is high 4.5. Dude in blue is high 4.0

[@johncincolapickleball]

Hmm, that's funny. They have a 5.5 and 5.3 Dupr and won 5.0 19+ Gold at Hilton Head APP. But somehow your random opinion has more credibility

[@AMurderOfLobs]

3.5 at best.

[@929mmr]

I know! Amazing that a 3.5 was able to beat 2 5.0's though.

[@AMurderOfLobs]

@@929mmr Well I was saying they were all 3.5. Actually everybody is a 3.5...you, me, Monica Lewinsky, Tom Green....everybody! Little known fact about pickleball.

[@fan0423]

You are 3.5 at best.

[@AMurderOfLobs]

@@fan0423 So are you. So is Ben Johns. So is Pikachu. Everybody is a 3.5 at their absolute very best. Everybody is a 3.5 on their worst day.

[@afterthesmash]

Too bad Russia won't be going to the next Olympics. They might have selected you to one of their judging panels.
