Truly great video. This makes so much sense and not only that but was explained crystal clear. Great work on this video and can’t wait to use these tips.

[@1groovygreg]

Kyle! I really enjoy ALL of your videos, but I think this one is the most helpful - simple, yet very powerful concepts. I can't wait to put these tactics into practice! Thank you for posting!

[@thatpickleballguy]

Oo wow! So glad it helped

[@BetsyMandel]

Awesome content! I can use this straight away!

[@feelingcrafty]

I've started to keep some distance from the line and it really helps me. It's easier for me to go forward towards the ball than backwards.

I was thinking the same thing! Great job

Great stuff again, Kyle! I hadn't heard the 1 + 2 thing before (in mistake #3) or when to back off the line (in mistake #5). I mean, they both make sense, but you framed them in a way that I should be able to remember them now when I'm playing.

I'm a big proponent of hugging the line but #5 certainly makes me question that philosophy. Bottom line is that you need to be flexible and assess who can cook better in the kitchen.

Love your videos. Can you consider doing one on the proper doubles positioning and movement at the kitchen line? Or, have you already done one of those? That’s where I struggle, particularly in knowing how close to the middle or the line to play and when

I'm curious as to what paddles everyone is using? Great video as usual.

[@thatpickleballguy]

Here’s the paddle I use. It’s the “power air” www.selkirk.com/products/vanguard-air-s2?variant=40179483344998 Note, I specifically use the “prestige color.” I haven’t run a test on this, but I think it has a little more spin than the other power airs. :) If you’re looking for a less expensive option, I’d go with this one - www.selkirk.com/products/slk-halo?variant=39964829188198 And, I prefer the “power” version. It still has very good touch, in my opinion, but has a little extra pop :) If you go with either of these use my code, “ADV-thatpickleballguy” and you’ll get a digital gift card toward a future purchase.

[@colinsmith1233]

Great video Thank you

[@thatpickleballguy]

[@adrianopangelinan7011]

Because I'm an unabashed Geek, let me point out a very minor error. Your drawing is wrong (at 1:05) if you are saying a2 + b2= c2. You need to switch b and c in your drawing to make it correct. However, that drawing only pans for half a second, and your demonstration on the courts is 100% correct. So only Geeks like me would notice. LOL! I love your videos, and thanks!

[@thatpickleballguy]

I know!!! I messed it up. Oo well. Hahah thanks for the kind words

[@edstalmakov]

Fantastic tips!! I loved the one about speeding it up in front of you. I sometimes speed it up cross court thinking that I’m creating a triangle effect for my partner. Hahaha then I would think “I’m really setting them up for a winner. Why aren’t their hands faster? 😂” Wonderful video as always!!

@@thatpickleballguy thanks for the tip and great instructional videos

[@RamonaMorrissette]

Great stuff

[@kvernon1]

They got the Pythagorean Theorem wrong! The formula is indeed , but this is when "C" represents the hypotenuse in the triangle. In their diagram at 1:02 , "b" is the hypotenuse. So if "b" is the hypotenuse, the formula doesn't work!

[@thatpickleballguy]

Dang it! I messed up. But i didnt mess up the hypotenuse distance. It is 24.41

@@thatpickleballguy only question would be what about balls that you get out there air? Like if they hit an aggressive dink but can hit it out the air so you still dink it back?

Please check the math on this video, on Pythagorean theorem the long side should be c and you have it labelled b

[@Dinkdifferent]

The 1+2=3 thing was baller

[@ElevatePickleballPR]

On mistake #4... what about if you are playing high level mixed doubles (all right handed players assuming both guys are playing left) and the guy is shifting to the right side putting pressure on the right side opponent as well as erning any dink that comes down the line. Also, his partner is a very aggressive dinker. What should this right side player do in terms of dink exchange?

[@afterthesmash]

You explained the math better here than the other video, where you claimed 18 feet, but drew the arrows to look shorter.

[@thatpickleballguy]

Graphic note: swap b and c in the Pythagorean triangle @ 1:03 Pickleball note: great tips.

[@isildn]

The theorem is wrong 😢. According to the picture , it should be a^2+c^2=b^2

[@afmickel]

Yep, Pythagoras would be disappointed 😢. The hypotenuse is c not b!

Number 3 is big for me. I was getting attacked cross court and kept fighting the 2 with 2.

[@thatpickleballguy]

Good realization!! It was a big one for me too when I first realized it.

[@gustavoj.acosta1960]

Nice video, but you screwed up the initial Pythagorean theorem graphic which has b as the hypotenuse rather than c 😬

I know!!!!! I wish there was an edit button

[@RobShaffer]

I did a 3.0 competition this weekend. I wish we could do the stuff you're talking about. No one at this level even dinks. We barely got into any dink rallys!

[@thatpickleballguy]

Hopefully it will get better for you as you continue to play and move up!

[@allucht6664]

I disagree with the logic of #1. Your plan of taking the LONGER DISTANCE crosscourt SHOT is flawed. Your goal should rarely (if ever) be to give your opponent MORE TIME to gather themselves and plan for their return … and unfortunately that’s what your cross-court shot accomplishes… It gives my opponent more time to gather themselves and respond. Bad plan! The best you can make out of a cross court shot in that instance would be to try to split your opponents… But even that is a longer shot than going directly at your opponent.

[@RichardABradley-ze9qn]

First problem, partner wasn't coming over to cover middle.

[@ginjaninja3627]

Pythagorus would be pleased.

[@thatpickleballguy]

that's a good thing.

[@McLovin1759]

#1 Favour the cross court dink and #3 play a shallow dink to the middle… are somewhat contradictory.

[@thatpickleballguy]

One is when youre off balance and one is when youre on balance

[@Steve_K2]

I can see these tips as being of value to 4.0+ players but not for plodders like me.

[@MikeAdams-x5v]

Why did Tyler not try to block?

[@nelsonsoaresusa]

On the second mistake, why did your partner turn his back afraid of the ball instead of trying to defend it?

[@lesterma1608]

The real problem is the 2 partners are not together, one was at one sideline and the other was on the other side leaving the middle open

[@8246st]

You've become more verbose. You got good stuff to share. Less is more.

[@thatpickleballguy]

Ill work on it :) thanks for the feedback

[@Bob_DaBuilder-i3x]

I thought mistake #5 was not following the ball. You didn't move closer to side line. You sat near middle.

[@thatpickleballguy]

Oo could be that as well!

[@charland2705]

That was my thought, too... his partner was pulled a liitle wide, but Kyle doesn't move over to cover, especially in the explanation part.

[@tonywalsh3707]

Your diagram of the Pythagoreum theorem is incorrect. The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two sides. That is NOT what your graphic shows.😢

[@thatpickleballguy]

Dang it! First mistake ive made since 1997

[@bobsmith5096]

Sorry but c should be your hypotenuse

[@dvmorland]

Good pickleball points, but let's get the math right. 🙂 Based on how you labeled the sides in your diagram, a**2 + c**2 = b**2. If you want the traditional equation, the hypotenuse should be "c."

[@Prince_Gordon]

Tyler’s improvement is highly disappointing considering how much time he’s spent in class with you. Get on the ball, Tyler!

[@thatpickleballguy]

Not dissapointing at all. Tyler's gotten really good. This video was shot months ago. I'm pumped with how he's progressing, despite the gagillion things he does on a daily basis with work and family!
