Nice job having multiple camera angles. Good usage of mental images.

Helpful good video and words to explain!👏👏. Can you do a two hander one! Please

[@keithrush1917]

I was hoping you would do the two handed backhand also.

I use a 15 lb kettle bell weight to practice the movements in pickle ball no wrist

[@albertvu6086]

I like the analogies

[@joeygrimes8891]

Would love to see a two handed backhand version of this

[@cherylmiller2416]

Nice editing with the side by side views

[@wiredawg2005]

Thanks for this...editing of visuals and explanations analogies, etc. really helps me understand how and what I'm trying to accomplish...very helpful, getting ready to head to the courts this morning and practice this. : )

[@PickleballKitchen]

Awesome, thanks for watching. How did your practice go?

[@stacy695]

Did you add any weight to this paddle? If so...where did you put it?

[@JohnThrasher1]

This was great, but question: what's your instruction on how to aim your shot? I have all this technique down but am hitting in to the net or wide on this. It's so frustrating.

[@karenk5472]

I had learned to try to draw an imaginary line from your paddle to where you want the ball to land. Aim your paddle in the direction where you want ball to land.

[@totoro1605]

When hitting backhands, check where your knuckles are pointing. Most of the time, where your knuckle points will be where your ball goes.

[@Riker-ER]

👍

[@ginjavision4058]

Great tutorial. But is there a two-handed version of these shots?

[@PickleballKitchen]

Not for slices generally

[@gg80108]

If you turn your body sideways to hit the backhand your a few steps too slow getting to the net. Brutal is when you get caught in no man's land!

[@gofgal]

Well, I am not the teacher here, and would be interested in what he says, but the term “no man’s land” is long gone. This transition area is many times referred to as the “land of opportunity” because many points and set ups are in that middle area. You don’t have to be in a hurry to get out of there. So talk to a professional teacher to explain to you how to handle this transition area!

[@gg80108]

@@gofgal I think if having the choice on paying defense, I would take the kitchen line or baseline, no man's land is the necessary evil. Dont play to put yourself in no man's land by choice and certainly don't stay there longer then necessary.

Love your videos and this one is tops- even without topspin. 🌽 🤓

[@PickleballKitchen]

Ha.
