4 Years of Pickleball Lessons in 15 Minutes

[@StormSnarlX]

This is the best advanced pb video I've watched prob ever. Please keep dropping gold content like this!!

[@GerryDJ-b9t]

Great stuff, the hardest part is applying each of these tips in the proper circumstance and that only comes about with constant exposure and practice. Thanks Shea.

[@sheaunderwood]

Very true, thanks for watching 🫡

[@codyallenproductions]

When I see a new shot or concept my favorite way to practice is to drill that shot with a partner, helps me get a ton of reps in and build some muscle memory

[@PhilipCohen-y8j]

This is excellent Shea, definitely top 5 pickleball videos that I have seen. Clear, concise and practical.

[@MuraliBalasubramanyam]

After wasting hundreds of hours watching crappy useless KZbin content on Pickleball, this was PURE GOLD. I am a 4.5 trying to get better and the tip on hitting your third shot drops to the middle of the court was immediately fruitful when I implemented it. Thanks, Shea, looking forward to getting better with your tutorials.

[@MuratKilci]

Watch a looooot of PB videos on KZbin. This is truly one of the best videos I watched for my level. Thank you.

[@redequal7457]

This is a great video, very informative, about aspects of pickleball that other coaches and pros on KZbin just do not cover, or don't cover them well. Good work.

[@hoyvintagecycles2936]

This was very helpful advice for a 10 month player at the 3.9 level trying to move up!!! thanks. subbed.

[@Magoo71]

Some good stuff Shea.....I've been playing for almost 11 years and there is always room to improve your game! Thanks for your tips! I'm also gonna be 73 next week so age is not much of an excuse...!

[@motorcyclelad]

The fact that Mr Magoo can play at all is amazing! 😄 (That was just a joke about the movie Mr Magoo. He was blind)

[@jeffbenak1054]

Well done shea. You get to the point quickly and thoroughly. No wasted time. Great tips even for an old man like me lol. Thanks

[@kenk684]

One of the best lesson videos I've seen. Thanks for the tips!

[@KBhunterx262]

Best PB vid I've watched so far. I learned something from nearly every single lesson which usually isn't the case as channels sometimes state the obvious

[@lofezilla]

Been waiting to play pickleball or the first time. Watching a lot of PBTV and Finally got to get out there on Tuesday. A few players that had been playing for a while helped a lot and said stick with it you've got it down. Alot of fun! can't wait for more. Thank you for the Vid!

[@maryhurst4663]

A word of advice from someone who has played for almost 20 years. Plus I teach beginners @ the local YMCA over a period of 4 weeks. Go take some lessons! Often those “friends who play” haven’t learned properly, aren’t up on the rules, and may have developed some bad habits themselves…which they’ll pass on to you. I see it here in my area frequently, especially among those who have taken a 1 hr. Intro to PB class then been turned loose to play.

[@1groovygreg]

Shea - Thank you for this very informative video. Lots of practical tips condensed into those 14 minutes! I've liked and subscribed!

[@wavecamtu]

Wonderful tut I have ever seen. Thanks Bro!

[@IseeClaudio]

By far the best video I’ve seen with details explaining the logic behind it. Well done sir

[@chrispannerz4084]

Awesome video, great content, no BS and great editing.

[@JR-fy1qk]

totally agree!

[@Ventherion]

Wonderfully informative video! I really like that you cut the crap and got straight to what we need to know. Side note, on tip one, when you demonstrated how to run around a forehand return, your right foot was crossing in front of the left foot which is less efficient than if your right foot went behind your left. If you think about it, crossing your right foot in front of your left foot makes it more difficult to have your body/shoulders in the correct position to strike the ball. Whereas dropping your right foot behind your left, opens the hips and shoulders to rotate your body through the ball.

[@us_tennis_parents_academy]

I noticed that too. In tennis, we call that the "drop step" and puts you quickly into a more aggressive position (hips and shoulder turn) to rip back the forehand. 🙂

[@bigrymrman]

I recently started pickleball and love it, and this video is amazing for my next steps. Thanks!

[@Positively46]

Excellent tips and explanations of each…thank you.

[@stymeron]

Great summary!

[@pjtibayan]

So good. Thanks for the tips!

[@swimgood2952]

Thanks. This helps me improving my game.

[@TD_pb]

Drill every single thing he talked about. 1 per session for an hour minimum. Watch your game develop rapidly

[@kdotfouts]

no

[@lukealexandergeary9204]

I’ve been drilling. Probably 2 a session for like 1.30 hour per technique. Honestly have seen more developing from my weekly butthole tanning.

[@johnbraun814]

great tips!!!! best and most useful i have seen Shea!

[@EddieDBama]

WOW! That was total fire! so much meat. I'm going to watch this again and again.

[@mcarlson4854]

Excellent strategies that’ll I will work on. Thank you!

[@tlfreek]

this is a great video!! well done subscribed.

[@pickleball_tomorrow]

This will be my new video to share with newer students! Well explained brother!

[@jasoncopland6524]

Terrific insights.

[@oneleiner]

Loving the tourna grip

[@michaelfinney5317]

Very good tips that a lot of instructional videos haven’t touched on. Well done.

[@chrissosa4739]

Excellent tips. Now, I just need to use it when playing.

[@Fortrocket]

Great tips. Love it

[@wig2323]

Excellent info. Now if i can just remember all this. Thanks

[@sarahwinters4771]

This was a wonderful video. I learned so much.

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

This was a great video Shea! I would love to see more tips like this. Especially a speedup video with different speedup demonstrations since you said it was underutilized.

[@art58wong]

First time viewer of your videos and reinforces many of my tendencies. I liked insights number 2, 5 and 7.

[@TheMary0831]

This is awesome stuff. Thanks so much, Shea.

[@MarkColeWorship]

Good stuff.. I've picked up a few of these on my own in the last 2 years.. I'll have to save this and go thru them again.

[@massey3129]

Regarding lesson #3, just backhand backspin return back. This works well for me.

[@koreyb99]

Very good material here. Lots to practice, but is a cheat code to level up.

[@charlespendergast4882]

Agree, One of the best!!! Thanks Shea

[@TheWZINCLTD]

This is really good stuff!!

[@ronbowers9452]

Excellent tips and explanations Thank you

[@juancmunozr]

Awesome video and great tips thank you for sharing it ! I’m beginner to pickleball with no racket sports background but slowly progressing so your videos are amazing helpful !

[@alliver_tennis]

This is really good! I’ll be sending to my friends and rewatching this to help me level up!

[@brianmichaelmedia]

fire, never got this much out of a PB video

[@KoletheCotter]

Amazing in-depth video

[@RoleyChiu]

What a gorgeous park.

[@stevenhopster9974]

Wow!!!! Thanks, Shea.

[@sheaunderwood]

You got it bro 🤝

[@spakuloid]

Awesome video - thanks!

[@iiiiilllllllll]

Learned so much!

[@venturettv808]

Solid Video.

[@CWB367]

Nice work with the content! Appreciate the info!

[@sheaunderwood]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tanthony3895]

Excellent stuff!! Thank you!!!!!!!

[@apatel1702]

Very helpful and agree this will definitely help improve my game lot better! Especially, tip # #6 & 7 (dinking pattern and lift/push dinking strategy ) definitely my weakness. So I will implement your idea. I am only little over year into pickleball and your videos are very helping improving my game. Now let see if I can take my game from 3.75 to over 4!! Thanks for the tips!

[@LisaHall-v9n]

I like your descriptions of movement , placement and why. I would like more visual examples in your videos. Great tips though. Looking for your other videos

[@KrisantaCanCan]

Thank you! ❤

[@charlesmuller120]

Great tips Shea! Thanks!

[@sheaunderwood]

You got it 🤝

[@Everheartt]

Thank you!

[@stegleryo]

Really good tips in this video. Many players I play with are so afraid to back up on pop ups then wonder why the ball just whizzed past them.

[@sheaunderwood]

If you ever have that “oh crap” moment. Take a step back! It’s amazing how many balls you can get back if you don’t give up on them.

[@JohnVanderMyde]

Perfect video for someone just figuring out how much strategy pickleball involves. Like me two months from my first game... ;-)

[@JosephHoolihanRealEstate]

Awesome Video! I just started playing and fell in love instantly but would like to get better as quickly as possible so these tips should help!.... and how can I snag one of those paddle giveaways!?

[@lizlemon9632]

Brilliant…thank you.

[@shashaw.324]

Best summary!

[@PKB-AG]

I've never heard the term shot peaking but have seen the concept before. Makes sense but is very foreign when starting out - I remember these shots not feeling right and thinking that I was giving them a pop up. Then one of my first drops confused someone newer and I knew then it was right. I also love the alternating dink types. I do what I call a two/one. two dinks to you and if you handle them, my next goes to the other player. You've given very dense helpful advice here - much thanks.

[@sheaunderwood]

Thats awesome! Really smart way to think about the dinking strategy.

[@sethgowen]

Great tips

[@Leonardokite]

Good info Shea....thanks 👍

[@sheaunderwood]

Thanks for the support!

[@bluejay8836]

Just curious - where does this video take place? That background is beautiful

[@ER_aka_RAM]

Cool… now everyone knows 😉 … excellent insight! Thanks 🤙🏽

[@vincevita6872]

Shea, Jam Packed with info.... thank you.... Vince

[@Flying_Family]

Chess analogies earned my sub 🎉

[@Antiqueexcavator]

After watching this I’m sure I could be a top rated senior (65+) PB player. I was an excellent tennis player and even better table tennis player. In my dreams I won an espy for the greatest pb player that never played. Now I just need to buy a good racket and get on a court to prove myself! I’ll let you know how it goes!

[@pickleballinwithdave]

Really well done

[@vincentyou7994]

an amazing video.

[@dudhack1888]

Shea, what grip do you use for serving? And do you change grips during play? thanks.

[@natehendricksen3338]

Great stuff.

[@sheaunderwood]

Thanks Nate!

[@MP-tf7cc]

Good video.

[@tiagobial4]

what paddle are you using?

[@gymleaderjake1579]

One more tip for returning back spin sliced 3rds. The backspin causes the ball to fly farther so stay farther away from backspin so you're not trying to hit it close to your body

[@sheaunderwood]

Really good point. That’s a super common mistake.

[@afterthesmash]

11:20 This has been great, but this tip runs counter to other professional advice. When facing a down-the-line threat from out wide, you can camp on that, because an advanced partner will cover right up to your shoulder on the other side. That's what I've been told from several different channels. In my own play, I've recently begun stepping back off the line by half a step far more often, and it's a big help in many situations.

[@mddale]

You should watch this again and again. It is amazing how quickly you forget these critical points. Also, you need to be relatively experienced and accomplished to even appreciate what he is saying!

[@PickleballChris]

Thanks so much for sharing knowledge of 4 years of playing\lessons! You make me much better in 15 minutes!! Please keep sharing. And for others, do has Shea does and share your pickleball knowledge to any players not as good as you! #PickleballChris #TylerWrenProPickleball #RawPickleballBuzz #OptaHealthAndWellness

What is "short hop"? Half volley?

[@brianrutherford2379]

Always good. How do I get the newsletter?

[@michalpelic6169]

Where is this at? The views are beautiful!

[@sheaunderwood]

This is in Hayesville, NC

[@MD-hk8xq]

it would be nice to hear you explain how to make ball peak on your side before falling over net

[@robertw4196]

Try to get more loft than you are currently getting. Basically aim a little higher with the same speed that you are currently hitting

[@shwenelson]

No way, no wonder Heath is cracked!

[@bellarose6995]

Your comet is awesome

[@sheaunderwood]

Comet?

[@stephenlarkin3377]

36” on ends and 34 “ in middle

[@Hermaeus7]

Many people don’t even try to score when playing it’s hard to watch, they always hit it right to their opponent

[@The_New_Old_Man]

Love all the chess terms, I play chess and pickle. 👍

[@sesamesprinkles]

7:07 is that an intentional thing? For the net to be lower in the center? I get cause gravity but now that you mentioned it I wonder if that’s an intentional thing for pickleball court nets

[@sheaunderwood]

Yeah! The rules mandate it’s 34 inches in the middle and 36 inches on the sides

[@mwsands9155]

Where is this? Looks beautiful there.

[@miguelrivera1291]

Gold! 👍

[@mariomakesvideosapparently]

Is it good or bad to “nerf”?

[@HHexic]

Google it.

[@albertfranciosa1157]

I am looking for a coach in n.j can you recommend someone I want to get to pro status

[@johannkriz5138]

Great video - just one point, you can never ever add topspin with an open racket face!

[@sheaunderwood]

Maybe not if it’s facing directly towards the sky like this | but if it’s open like this / then of course you can. It’s the only way to generate top-spin. If your paddle face is closed like this \, you will hit the ball in the ground. It’s different than tennis in that way.

[@The_Indeed_Guy]

personally, I have NEVER seen a racquet sport player criss-cross their feet like that. Experienced racquet players are taught to shuffle laterally to pick up a forehand or backhand.

[@maryhurst4663]

True, but this sport is attracting people who have never played any other racquet sport.

[@falakesilokotui6092]

Bro im a beginner how can i get a free paddle like yours? Thanks
