Hey John- QC guy here. Just started PB after 35 years of tennis. I use the racquetball court at Y and am able to do these wall drills. I can also even practice overheads. Drilling a couple times a week definitely has improved my strokes and execution. Thanks.

Great video for helping come up with a solo practice routine. 6:35 it would have been really helpful to see an example of the speedup > volley > reset.

Thanks John and this is very similar to what I do 2-3 times per week at my gym in the racquetball courts which offer the added bonus of having a corner where I can practice cross court dinks as well as rapid reaction volleys while standing close to the corner and reacting to the unpredictable bounces. Appreciate the helpful list you provided at the end - you're a good and thoughtful man, John!

Good stuff. I just started back after a 3 month stint on the IR. I've been doing this off the wall for a few days now. Much better than rec play. Your video describes almost exactly what I do. Except the serving part. I will incorporate that into my routine. I usually just take 3 balls and serve on the court to nobody, go get the balls and serve them back. Then I practice drops and resets by just throwing the ball to myself and hitting the shot. Thanks

The speed up and reset drill is one I do a lot. I found my game improved when I started thinking about not hitting two hard shots in a row - except in obvious situations where a hard shot comes back high and can be easily put away.

Having a textured cement wall with slightly uneven surface will give solid but not completely predictable returns adding a reaction time element. I also put a net 2 ft from the wall and work on drops after a strong ground stroke.

Thanks John, big fan of your videos. I’m a senior been playing for about a year. Love your clear teaching style. I’m hoping you can help me out. I’m struggling with the volley against the wall. My backhand seems better then forehand. Also I just can’t consistently keep the volley happening without it hitting the ground. Any suggestions I might be able to try to get better at the volley? Thanks

I practice dinking and volleys against a wall made of rocks - super unpredictable as to where the ball will go . Brick or concrete block walls are also good as they are less flat than a plywood or slab concrete.

I built a portable dink wall and am traveling in an RV. It did help my eye hand coordination. I found it did not help me with soft hands. by dinking the ball and standing seven feet back, I was still having to hit it too hard to get it to bounce back to me. better than nothing.

I usually include some footwork step back dinks, and taking the ball out of the air dinks. I kind of replicated it in a video. Wall drilling can build such good fundamentals.

You mentioned the drop serve: Did I hear correctly that the rule will-be/has changed that the drop arm cannot be above the waist line? I saw something about this last week and would appreciate an answer. I do drop serves, but have been dropping way above the waist line as the rules allowed last year.
@HM-gm1kn8 ай бұрын
No rule changes are coming for the drop serve. The volley, however, could see some significant changes which would nerf it.

The provisional rule change just applies to PPA tournaments and has nothing to do with drop servers.

Curious on your thoughts on adopting a Drop serve given recent scrutiny on volley serves. Lots of options, without any fault risk, makes me wonder if drop serve will be available in even the PPA in the future. It’s not the best look for TV but neither is the current volley serve I’m seeing at the current Masters event… thoughts?

John I practice on the wall but w a Pickleball the rebound is usually very short unless I hit hard evoking poor technique (too much arm swing). Should I use a different ball? Or am I doing something wrong?

What kind of wall do you use? he made a point to say concrete would be the best because of the rebound.
@ParryPickleballking-es2el8 ай бұрын
This is the reason I only use the wall to try and speed up my hands. If you dink as you should, it won't come off the wall properly. So you're stuck practicing a dink that would be too high against an opponent.
