You have quickly become one of my favorite and go-to channels for PB instruction. It's the "just right" amount of information. Clearly communicated and you don't treat the viewer like we're morons. Well done....

[@pickleballplaybook]

I appreciate it! I’ll do my best to be continue to deliver!!

[@susanonthemove728]

One of the very best videos I’ve watched. So packed fill of detailed yet clear and executable instructions. Thank you

[@pickleballplaybook]

Wow, thank you! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for subbing ❤️

[@heartnsoul3357]

You may be my favorite coach, and there are a lot of good ones out there. Thanks for detailed playbook!!

[@pickleballplaybook]

I appreciate that! More to come!!

[@joetalley2638]

Concise, to the point, great explanation, another great video. A-1 teacher!!

[@pickleballplaybook]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for subbing! ❤️

[@grahmfrey7755]

That bubble analogy is great! super easy to remember when to counter vs reset!

[@pickleballplaybook]

It really is! Glad it was helpful!

[@Charles-lz2tz]

excellent instruction. i appreciate your detail from start to finish. most videos lack this clear complete instruction. great coaching

[@pickleballplaybook]

You are welcome! Thanks for the sub!

[@jisforjoy3314]

I've been trying to improve on my resetting for a little while. Watching you explain the mechanics is very helpful! Thanks a million!

[@pickleballplaybook]

Glad to help! Thanks for subbing!

[@Jessica-ld4bs]

The two grips and the bubble make so much sense -- something finally clicked for me. I need to rewatch this before my next class!

[@pickleballplaybook]

❤️❤️❤️

[@joshc.6706]

Great video! Really insightful that tension gets brought up. Tension is what I call the silent killer of energy. You lose so much energy so fast because the body needs to compensate to withstand the muscle tension. Part of my background is mma/boxing, so tension or lack there of is engrained into our habits. You don’t ever hear too many people in pickleball talk about tension relating to ready position and fatigue. Great video, but thought the tension point was gold.

[@pickleballplaybook]

Yeah that’s a great point. You’re quicker when you’re relaxed. You lose power when you’re tense!

[@joshc.6706]

@@pickleballplaybook yeah sustained tension is all around a bad idea. Cool to see someone touched on it because a lot of people know tension is bad because it can cause certain shots to pop up. People don’t realize what sustained tension overall is doing to the body.

[@michaeljohnson1990]

I think I could have eliminated about 1000 KZbin pickeball videos that I watched with this ONE . Great presentation on critical PB topics. I have never seen or read any reference to the position of the trigger finger with an eastern grip. Thanks.

[@pickleballplaybook]

Haha I appreciate it! Happy to know people are getting a lot from my videos. More to come!

[@danmartin3714]

I know this has nothing to do with the video but I love my Selkirk Luxx paddle more than any other paddle I have played with. If you add the right amount of lead tape to the head you will find a paddle that has tons of control and a lot of power as well. It really is the best paddle made!

[@pickleballplaybook]

I think it’s legit! Which it had just. A bit more power without have to add lead but what can you do 🤷

[@andresmith6059]

Outstanding! Best video I have seen on this topic by far. If only everyone could teach like this! Could you comment on the grip pressure for a one handed attacking backhand volley?

[@pickleballplaybook]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the sub. Keep it as loose as possible without it flying out of your hand. It’s the same with a reset 👍

[@dougniwa8886]

Another great video. Thanks Austin!

[@pickleballplaybook]

I appreciate it! More to come

[@garyswindler5129]

This is excellent... thank you so much... excellent.....

[@pickleballplaybook]

You're very welcome!

[@bosoxer4eva]

New player here. Very nice video for sure. I keep learning more every day and slowly improving. All I can hope for. Well, hoping for that and these old bones to stop aching because I'm running around the court like a wildman still at my age, hahaha.

[@pickleballplaybook]

Haha keep it up! Thanks for subscribing. More good content to come

[@brendafry7936]

This was an excellent video!

[@pickleballplaybook]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@deatonsports8629]

Can you still do two handed with a continental grip?

[@pickleballplaybook]

Definitely!

[@mra2424]

You should have the bubble pop and have smoke come out.

[@pickleballplaybook]

Next time! Haha my editing skills are improving with each video, I’ll get there one day 🙌

[@clifflewis3801]

Well hell.....looks like I've been holding my paddle wrong for 6 months, guess I need to re-learn how to hold it now.

[@pickleballplaybook]

🤣🤝 you got this!

[@kcarwen5262]

Great details! Like the reference to the pros and how they hit and their ready position. Are you saying you hold an Eastern forehand grip for your two-handed backhand ? Just want to make sure, because there is an Eastern Backhand grip too, and you just say “Eastern grip” not Eastern Forehand grip”

[@pickleballplaybook]

I use eastern forehand full time. For both forehand, one handed backhand and two handed backhand!

[@kcarwen5262]

Thanks Much! I would have never thought to try that, such great videos! Keep them coming!

[@dsbro1182]

I would still use continental grip with a 2 hander

[@pickleballplaybook]

The forehand suffers with continental. The backhand suffers with eastern. (unless you have a two hander) You can definitely hold continental with a two hander, your forehand just won’t be that strong cause if the angle of the paddle 👍

[@michaelhopwood1179]

love it

[@pickleballplaybook]

❤️❤️❤️

[@justanothernicedude]

So you keep an eastern right hand basically the entire time? And just add the left hand on top for your backhand?

[@pickleballplaybook]

Yes!

[@justanothernicedude]

@@pickleballplaybook awesome me too… just have to drill

[@af02271]

Are you based on St. George? I visited Utah a few weeks ago and checked out those beautiful courts! Amazing facility, so jealous we have nothing like it in Chicago

[@pickleballplaybook]

Yes we are! Blessed with some awesome courts!

[@miatafunrun3078]

I'm also Eastern grip with two-handed backhand. Do you stay Eastern for overhead smash or switch to Continental?

[@pickleballplaybook]

I actually switch to continental for overheads so I can pronate through and get the ball down more effectively! Does that make sense?

[@miatafunrun3078]

Yes makes sense and that is what I was thinking (switching to Continental) when watching your overhead video the other day.

[@pickleballplaybook]

It’ll help! But do what’s most consistent and comfortable for you!

[@tonygrego347]

Awesome, awesome, awesome keep up the good work. Selkirk is the bomb!!!

[@pickleballplaybook]

🙌🙌

[@Ckelto]

Amazing amount of nugs in here. Great work 👍

[@pickleballplaybook]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MarshallSavage]

Great video. Austin knows how to explain PB technique really well. I know you’re busy, but could you do a video on how to line up players about to drive the ball? Is it watching their paddle, watching shoulder rotation, is it positioning defense on angles? I’m confused and discouraged beyond belief because I’m such a sucker on D !

[@pickleballplaybook]

Hi thanks I appreciate it! Never too busy. How to line up players? Not sure what this means. Please expound

[@MarshallSavage]

Anticipating Where to stand on defense when your opponents are hitting different types of shots.

[@pickleballplaybook]

Watch my video at 3pm MST. I think it will answer your question, from what I’m gathering. Pay attention to the step back method.🙌
