The Last Pickleball Serve Tutorial You Will Ever Need - Enhance Pickleball

[@TPATRICKT]

Man, such good pointers! Perhaps in the future please give some CPR tips since I'm playing with all seniors.

[@KobiFilms]

Bangkok. Pickleball

[@joe1071]

Always know where the defibrillators at

[@Fearl3ss234]

Hahahahah

[@max-andrewmcmillan4235]

brilliant, beautiful diction, not one audible pause,, certainly one of the best instruction videos i have seen, thank you

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mr1stTD]

​@@EnhancePickleball Like and subscribed. Are you still giving out the giveaway? I care most about the private lesson

[@patyancey4612]

I watch your videos all the time. The serve interests me because an ‘older’ player commented that my serve ( which is a strong point for me) was ‘side-armed’! Now I find myself trying to make sure I go WAY UNDER HANDED which has me serving into the net or out of bounds more! After watching this video…I am frustrated with ‘his’ trying to alter me! FYI. I am 72…he is closer to 80…I have only been playing since May of 2022 and he has played for several years. And NO I didn’t ASK for his input! 😂 (I was a bowler and tennis player in my younger days). So a video which will strengthen my game and keep him on his side of the court! 🙄 Enjoy your videos!

[@LouMokodean]

I love your videos. I have been doing your pre-serve hacks for about a week now and I am already seeing a big improvement. Best moment of gratification: having better players tell you they want to play with you as their partner!

[@EnhancePickleball]

Great to hear! Comments like this motivate us to keep going 🙏

[@GregBoss]

Very helpful. I would love to see a video on player positions and how to decide when to take the shot or leave it to your partner.

[@roger_roger10]

Very solid video. I’ve been waiting for a simple, clear, and complete instructional on the serve. This is very helpful. Thank you.

[@EnhancePickleball]

Great to hear!

[@weidu9631]

Love this Pickleball serve video, would love to see a video about common spin balls and how to return them. Thank you!

[@allenronaldson4381]

This video is almost a year old, but I thought the spin (snap) serve was illegal?

[@patmalone4262]

Thank you! I have watched numerous videos, trying to become more consistent with my serve. Your clear breakdown of the steps really helps!

[@Jinxman729]

Intentionally spinning the ball before it contacts the paddle on the serve is against regulations.

[@joclermont]

It wasn't at the time this video was made.

[@seanrivard1254]

Would love to see a video on how to return tough serves and how to place them to make return shots harder on your opponent.

[@bobf3879]

Excellent video Connor; too many players try to gain speed by squeezing the paddle too hard and trying to muscle the serve. I'd like to see a video on aggressive/push dinking skills and targets. Keep up the great videos!

[@RLKuntz]

Thanks for the video, I'm looking at many Pickleball videos to see if this is a game I could learn to play at 68 years old.

[@jolynchappell2335]

I love your lessons and the detail. Coming from racquetball and tennis backgrounds, I would really like to know more about the specifics of the grip with the shots you show. Thanks for all your help.

[@jamesgordy880]

Love this one!! I would really like a video on resets. I struggle with reseting drives fron higher level players. Keep up the great content!

[@EnhancePickleball]

Will do!Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! Good idea, we’ll get to work on that one. You’re officially entered into the giveaway. In the meantime join our Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/952737785390543 It’s a great way to connect with us directly since our group is so small. 🙏

[@markpospisil3993]

This is a great video. Explain without rambling, gave great advice, and showed how to do it. Excellent!

[@rrest11]

Another great video. I would like to see a video on backhands: single vs two handed backhand. Any advantages or dis-advantages? Who or why should use what and why.

[@nancyross7660]

Your videos are concise and packed with good ideas. I’d like to see a video devoted to returning backhands. I was having trouble just today with some high returns to my backhand, which went wompy.

[@trentkollar9419]

Great tips man! I would love to see a video breaking down the set up of a paddle, and what to pack in your bag!

[@mattsmedley]

Tons of info here on PickleBall serves! Love the quick delivery of so much info! (I thought I was watching 1.25 or 1.5 speed, but your normal speaking kept me dialed in without having to speed it up, haha! A short video on when it makes sense to back away from the kitchen would be a great addition to your series. Thanks!

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@brianbennett1068]

Nice pointers for serves thanks. Would love to know more about lobs - offensive and defensive

[@PickleballJoy]

This video is excellent. I know I'll review it periodically to keep sharp. Your explanations have a clarity not found in many pickleball videos. If you would explain how and when -- and when NOT -- to stack in Dubs, I bet it would be another favorite.

[@JPow-zs7je]

Thanks for the video. Would love to understand how you read and anticipate your opponent's shot

[@cyberathlete]

You should update the video and the description now that the spin before the serve is illegal. Thank you for all the content you create, it's been very helpful.

[@alangoudie2299]

Excellent, over 40 brilliant ways to improve your serve. Thank you. I have subscribed & look forward to getting more valuable advice.

[@777-Phil]

Thumbs up, enjoyed the dynamic gouge and logic for serving, practicing, and feedback.

[@JMJMissions]

You guys should make a video on how to not let bad shots get in your head. Very often I see players make a mistake and then tense up and overcompensate which leads to more errors. Short term memory is needed for both your good and bad shots

[@mhaag1619]

Great point/question. One key I've found useful is to observe every point/shot as neither good or bad, and just try to focus on observing what took place. We get in our heads when we judge ourselves or our opponents as good or bad, lucky or skilled, etc. We shouldn't spend time mentally celebrating or berating ourselves, instead we should focus on performing each step in a point to the best of our abilities. Does that make sense?

[@Chadius_Thundercock]

Taking a deep breath between each play basically resets your brain, and you NEED TO THINK POSITIVELY. Fanning your own flames of anger will absolutely kill your confidence once you start losing even more.

[@zachdel8492]

Thanks for all the great videos! I’d like to see you go more in depth with backhand volleys where you’re connecting low

[@sagesparrow3989]

Great comprehensive video about improving your serves! Would love a video about mixed doubles strategies.

[@hazelweatherfield2854]

Great video! I am a new player and found this to be very helpful! Nice that you get right to the point!

[@jgrubb16]

Thanks! Would love a video on partner dynamics like when to defer for certain shots or how to set them up for shots.

[@dtwfp]

I'd love to see a video on serve placement strategies as to the receiver's forehand vs backhand, spins, and changing depth.

[@Markomyt1]

Great video - Liked the change in the way to hit the serve. I am definitely a "Bowler"... not anymore! Thanks!

[@kumikoniwayama]

Love your content. Love to learn how to clear the net when no time to react to hit back drop shots.

[@edharvey-yn8un]

As a new player, I appreciate videos dealing with the serve.

[@terribeaubien6171]

I'd like to see more NVZ dink and rally drills for 1, 2 or 4 people. Great video on serving. Thanks!

[@williammeekins3383]

My serves are definitely getting better, but I need more power and accuracy. I have been playing for six months. Just love this sport. Enjoy your channel.🙂✌

[@BrassHammer]

Now that you've created a vid with the sweet serve, follow that up with an initial return vid, focus on placement vs opponent position. Nice content! Keep them coming!

[@ReboundPlanner]

First time viewer and have to say this is awesome info. What I'd like to see a video on (if not already produced) is techniques on returning a hard, deep, and spin shot to gain position power.

[@nealfrank1825]

Would love to see how to anticipate Erne’s or ATPs for the next vid! Or when to go for a third shot drop versus a third shot drive!

[@DrRichardAVinci]

Enjoy your clear tips which have improved my strategy and skills!

[@rjsophia3712]

Great video! I just switched to the drop serve now that it's no longer probationary for 2022. I use the side hit/spin, but I'm now thinking your topspin serve would fit nicely into my current technique. I'd like to see a video covering the best placement/shot selections that create unattackable shots.

[@808Kindness]

Thank you for this densely-packed informational video! Please do a video on offensive lobs. When in a dinking battle is it ever right to hit an offensive lob? If so, when and how should it be executed?

[@Soccertz1]

Ooooo thanks for that idea lol

[@laurc9926]

Thanks for the service tips! I enjoy your tutorials and would love some advice on playing in different weather conditions, especially wind.

[@ysteinhardt]

Great video. I’d love to learn more about how to up our game when playing mixed doubles.

[@patriciaportale8337]

Thank you. This is an awesome video. Your presentation is crazy good! A video on how to return great shots, especially spin shots, would be really helpful!

[@markbaril4432]

Great serving tutorial. Would like to see more content on team strategy. How to reset properly after your teammate defends etc.

[@scottknight2192]

Thx for breaking the serve down so well!!! Can you comment on the best and worst indoor and outdoor balls? Thx

[@markbriggs6130]

I am interested in learning more about moving laterally along the non-volley zone to shrink the gaps on defense.

[@dr.elliephillips]

Very good. Thank you. You say to hold the racket at 30% but I get so nervous I think I grip the paddle too hard in games. Any ideas?

[@rauten6588]

I'd love to see video getting your opinion on the paddles - your preference and recommendations - also the balls, where to get ensuring the specifications are correct - thank you for videos - awesome and straight forward

[@MichelleH45]

Love your videos! Would love to see a video on what it takes to go from a 3.0 player to a 3.5 or from a 3.5 to a 4.0. What type of skills does it take to advance to each level?

[@robmokry9882]

Just started playing and love the sport. I would love some more training on drop shots though. I see the importance and I’ll take any tricks to make them come land in the kitchen. Thanks for all the awesome videos!

[@erinmoore6070]

Love the serve video and all your other helpful instructions. My serve was good but this made it much more powerful! Thanks and I would love to see a video Focused on resets.

[@EnhancePickleball]

Awesome, you’re entered into the giveaway! Thanks for watching! We love when our friends like you share our videos to help support the channel. Would love any exposure you could give us! ❤️

[@kevinbcurtis]

Helpful serve video in many ways, but at 5:11 in the video the narrator mentions what he calls the error of tossing the serve ball up prior to striking it. To clarify, that isn't just an error, it's an illegal pickleball serve. The ball must always be dropped. It can not be tossed up. With drop serves, there are also rules regarding wrist position, back to front motion and striking below the waist or navel. A major advantage of the bounce serve (which I prefer) is that no matter how the ball is struck or spun, the serve is never illegal. Additionally, the kinetic chain can be extremely powerful because bouncing the ball allows the server extra time to unwind as the dropped ball bounces and comes up.

[@F7269]

This is a great video, been struggling with my serve, I think I have great ideas now after watching this. Thanks for the great tips.

[@EnhancePickleball]

Very welcome!

[@chadkinkela5186]

Sure would like to know more about different paddles. So MUCH information out there about paddles. I have a Costco paddle as i am just starting out. Would like to upgrade but feel a bit overwhelmed. Thank you.

[@EnhancePickleball]

You got it! I'd recommend a Selkirk paddle - They have a few in the $100-$200 range that hold the quality of a $300 paddle. I use the Power Air line but the " SLK Halo" is $140 and is an awesome paddle.

[@patrickmcpatrick]

Terrific content as usual! Since we know we'll be serving the ball (and receiving) every game it deserves extra attention. Like you said we have total control over the serve so it demands extra practice. So many beginners and intermediate players seem to neglect working on the serve, an easy way to elevate your game! Cheers!👍👍

[@rps-hk6526]

Such a details serve video that is very practical. I hope to know more about reset and counter punch decision making in the transitional zone! Thank you for these good lesson

[@coleholan6299]

Would love to see a video on importance of paddle type and differences between paddles.

[@tracker619]

Thanks for the video. I appreciate the focus on serving. As a lefty, I leverage spin (and power) because I can get it deep and the ball is moving in the 'other' direction for most receivers. Next video? Returns.

[@EnhancePickleball]

Thanks for sharing!

[@JaredGaeta]

Very informative video. Some tips on the backhand would be super helpful for me, and I’m sure for many others.

[@renee6773]

Thanks for the terrific serve details. Love to see doubles strategy.

[@Mr.DJones]

Thank you for your time and posting. Very nice quality video. Boy, people sure ask for a lot.

[@johndwyer8092]

Excellent, I try to mix up speed serves, lob serves and spin serves (still working on that ) This really helped

[@symbiohead2760]

Glad I just found your channel!! This excellent stuff and like how you present your info 👊🏽

[@debbiewegner4089]

Great tutorial on serving. I need one explaining why serving from the left to right side is more difficult- at least for me personally.

[@andreaseels]

Love your videos, so easy to utilize. Maybe a video on shadowing partner rules at the net could be a good idea

[@bradw1261]

I would love to see more slow motion side spin serves that keep the ball really low before it breaks? I am having some difficulty trying to do top spins/ side spins combo. Also please address how you can side spin to the left if you are right handed? It would seem screwy lewy difficult to try to do a backhand side ball serve. Love the clarity of your videos and how you calmly describe each tip!

[@genalagle]

Great video! I need to check out your library. If you haven’t done one, I like to have the different levels of players explained please with examples of skills. Thankd

[@EnhancePickleball]

Will do!

[@patticarey8415]

Excellent video, is it beginner I have been struggling with a serve either going out or into the net. I think your video will help me immensely.

[@vincecepeda247]

Appreciate your video tips! I've gained alot of practical knowledge to improve my play. I would like to see a video on selecting a partner for Tournaments and a video on Stacking. Thank you!

[@laceyl1474]

I would like to learn how to return with a slice. I always watch your videos for great tips before playing!

[@musician129]

Really good video on serves for new players, thanks. I agree with others who ask for serving and receiving strategies, for singles and doubles. Also how to win more dink battles at the net and kitchen.

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@leanneterry4700]

Appreciate the serve breakdown and easy analogies/visuals. Would love to see a video on controlling tempo and how it works to add W's!! Thank you!!

Great content! I would like to see a video on recommended types of shoes for pickleball. Thanks!

[@lillianstadler2213]

Thank you for your video! It is informative and makes me want to go out and practice more. To enhance it ... Would be grateful for a video on different positions I can take and why when my double partner serves...

[@leonordelatorre7986]

Great instruction video. I have problems with unexpected returns.

[@hiltoncancel2270]

Excellent video, nicely explained and great tips for how to improve a serve. As a relatively new player who is over 60 my problem is not being consistent and making too many stupid errors. Would like to see a video on how to eliminate stupid errors and what to do to become a better player. Thanks.

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad it helped!

[@Pheaj]

Love the content as usual. I would love to see something on how to get the crazy bangers to settle down and play like the game should be played.

[@smokeyjail2404]

correct me if im wrong but at 2:05 you mention spinning the ball with your hand before hitting it with the paddle, isn't that disallowed from section 4.A.5 in the rulebook?

[@annegoodson997]

Awesome video. I have saved it for reference. For future videos, I would like to learn how to get quicker at the net

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad it was helpful!

[@adreamclellan6924]

Great video on techniques for serves!! Can’t wait to get out amd practice them. Curious what you used as targets in the oppenents end. I was thinking I could use pool noodles 🤔. Thank you

[@BoulderingHighlights]

Your videos are so well executed!

[@seanmcelhaney8637]

Really enjoy your videos. Very informative and easy to implement. I am struggling with keeping the paddle face square on my shots. I use the continental grip, but find the majority of my mishits are due to not squaring the paddle face. TIA

[@padbon48]

Another great video as always. Love to see how to pull off an effective erne on a regular basis. Thanks.

[@EnhancePickleball]

Awesome, you’re entered into the giveaway! Thanks for watching! We love when our friends like you share our videos to help support the channel. Would love any exposure you could give us! ❤️

[@gogreen268]

Very much enjoy your videos. Informative and easy to understand and apply!! Will try.some.of these techniques

[@kimleith1378]

Great tutorial as always. I use a piece of Yellow nylon rope instead of the white pipes. Easy to pack up. Just a thought..

[@andyperrigo5000]

Very helpful video for the PB newbie. I need to go search your archive for strategy videos. But I'd like to see a video on doubles strategy.

[@dwaynecarpenter8747]

Great information for beginners like me. I will try this out ASAP. i would like to a video on placement

[@sallysteeler4life237]

Thanks for the video - I think it will help my serve a lot. I am interested in learning more about the types of holds & when to use them. I've noticed some paddlers using a finger behind the paddle and others having more of a handshake grip. I never played tennis so I don't have a lot of experience with handle grips but I assume when you are using different shots you may change your grip. You mentioned using a 3:10 grip in the video so maybe you can explain what that means as well. I appreciate the work you put into the videos.

[@LavernLee-zz5ln]

Tnx for the good pickleball serve video. A lot of common similarities in tennis under hand serve. I’m a long time tennis player getting started in pickleball. Mostly the rules for pickleball are different than tennis.😊

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stevederose1682]

Thanks for the serving tips, going out to practice now. Would like to see video on topspin forehand from the transition line to baseline, that can dip to opponents feet. New to PB, coming from tennis background, and this shot is driving me crazy. Thanks

[@shelleybeck3010]

Great video! I like the practice swing exercise with ball in hand. What about a video for beginners who are afraid to go up to the kitchen line? Thanks!

[@EnhancePickleball]

Sounds good! You can definitely practice this on the Dink Pad: enhancepickleball.com/collections/products/products/enhancepickleball-dinkpad Also make sure to check out our personal coaching program here: enhancepickleball.com/products/match-analysis

[@lisalouko7602]

Excellent video. Would love to learn more about lob shots and when to use them

[@randykrug7286]

Great content. Would love to see a video on returning those deep serves without sending the ball high to the opponent and risking a smash back at my feet. Thank You!

[@neilchakrabarti6774]

I've leard so much from you. Thanks!

[@mikeconner2627]

Love you tutorials. One thing I haven’t heard too much about is serving position along the baseline? Such as mixing up serving close to the center line to drive it along the centerline…or positioning to the outside of the sideline and serve a short serve close to the kitchen? Or use the spin serve positioned in one of these two spots? Thoughts? Thanks

[@EnhancePickleball]

Please add a video to explain and teach the top spin shot. I’ve never played tennis and am having a problem learning it. Thanks for the great tips!

[@tracker619]

I'd love to see you focus on balls up the middle, especially highlighting weakside and strongside approach as well as how to play with a lefty! :)

[@RexfordHoldings]

great channel, new player and all videos are helping. like to see more videos on teamwork for the best defensive court coverage

[@merieleon8394]

HI,Great videos, I have been watching for awhile now, thought I should finally comment, your videos are spot on, Can't wait to go outside and try the serves, & all the other great stuff I've learned. Thanks.

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad you like them!
