The Last Pickleball Serve Tutorial You Will Ever Need - Enhance Pickleball

Check out the Dink Pad here: enhancepickleball.com/serve-t...
Serve isn't as reliable or strong as you'd like it to be? This video is the last one you'll ever have to watch.
The pickleball serve can be challenging for some players, even being the only shot you can control completely because you toss the ball to yourself. It takes more talent for most people to generate a lot of power onto a ball that is simply hanging there and has no energy on it to begin with. Approaching speed does not provide you with any assistance that you may employ as rebound energy. You must produce all of your own force and direct it toward the ball. It can be challenging to hit this shot hard and precisely.
In this video, we go through serving advice and techniques that can result in a strong and efficient pickleball serve. After seeing this video, we'd guarantee that your serve will be rectified if it feels off now. #pickleballstrategy #pickleballtips #pickleballhowtoplay

Man, such good pointers! Perhaps in the future please give some CPR tips since I'm playing with all seniors.

Bangkok. Pickleball

[@joe1071]

Always know where the defibrillators at

[@Fearl3ss234]

Hahahahah

[@max-andrewmcmillan4235]

brilliant, beautiful diction, not one audible pause,, certainly one of the best instruction videos i have seen, thank you

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@picklerick5910]

Great video and breakdown of the serve technique. If you haven’t already, a video on why trying to keep a player back is effective and which player to choose. Also, that suggestions on general strategy in the game are never concrete, that every rally and opponent is different and those need to be considered. Lobs against 2 guys who are 20 years old and 6’4” are not likely to be as effective as they might be against other players. Great content, production value is good, clean audio, and good pace. Keeps the viewer engaged.

[@seanrivard1254]

Would love to see a video on how to return tough serves and how to place them to make return shots harder on your opponent.

[@markpospisil3993]

This is a great video. Explain without rambling, gave great advice, and showed how to do it. Excellent!

[@jolynchappell2335]

I love your lessons and the detail. Coming from racquetball and tennis backgrounds, I would really like to know more about the specifics of the grip with the shots you show. Thanks for all your help.

[@nancyross7660]

Your videos are concise and packed with good ideas. I’d like to see a video devoted to returning backhands. I was having trouble just today with some high returns to my backhand, which went wompy.

[@hazelweatherfield2854]

Great video! I am a new player and found this to be very helpful! Nice that you get right to the point!

[@GregBoss]

Very helpful. I would love to see a video on player positions and how to decide when to take the shot or leave it to your partner.

[@user-dg4yt2gr2e]

I love your videos. I have been doing your pre-serve hacks for about a week now and I am already seeing a big improvement. Best moment of gratification: having better players tell you they want to play with you as their partner!

[@EnhancePickleball]

Great to hear! Comments like this motivate us to keep going 🙏

[@Jinxman729]

Intentionally spinning the ball before it contacts the paddle on the serve is against regulations.

[@joclermont]

It wasn't at the time this video was made.

[@patrickmcpatrick]

Terrific content as usual! Since we know we'll be serving the ball (and receiving) every game it deserves extra attention. Like you said we have total control over the serve so it demands extra practice. So many beginners and intermediate players seem to neglect working on the serve, an easy way to elevate your game! Cheers!👍👍

[@roger_roger10]

Very solid video. I’ve been waiting for a simple, clear, and complete instructional on the serve. This is very helpful. Thank you.

[@EnhancePickleball]

Great to hear!

[@777-Phil]

Thumbs up, enjoyed the dynamic gouge and logic for serving, practicing, and feedback.

[@sagesparrow3989]

Great comprehensive video about improving your serves! Would love a video about mixed doubles strategies.

[@trentkollar9419]

Great tips man! I would love to see a video breaking down the set up of a paddle, and what to pack in your bag!

[@welovetennis9151]

Connor came from tennis the whole family play high level tennis this is why he has great advises going into Pickcleball is much easier for him and his sisters.

[@ysteinhardt]

Great video. I’d love to learn more about how to up our game when playing mixed doubles.

[@patyancey4612]

I watch your videos all the time. The serve interests me because an ‘older’ player commented that my serve ( which is a strong point for me) was ‘side-armed’! Now I find myself trying to make sure I go WAY UNDER HANDED which has me serving into the net or out of bounds more! After watching this video…I am frustrated with ‘his’ trying to alter me! FYI. I am 72…he is closer to 80…I have only been playing since May of 2022 and he has played for several years. And NO I didn’t ASK for his input! 😂 (I was a bowler and tennis player in my younger days). So a video which will strengthen my game and keep him on his side of the court! 🙄 Enjoy your videos!

[@weidu9631]

Love this Pickleball serve video, would love to see a video about common spin balls and how to return them. Thank you!

[@allenronaldson4381]

This video is almost a year old, but I thought the spin (snap) serve was illegal?

[@JMJMissions]

You guys should make a video on how to not let bad shots get in your head. Very often I see players make a mistake and then tense up and overcompensate which leads to more errors. Short term memory is needed for both your good and bad shots

[@mhaag1619]

Great point/question. One key I've found useful is to observe every point/shot as neither good or bad, and just try to focus on observing what took place. We get in our heads when we judge ourselves or our opponents as good or bad, lucky or skilled, etc. We shouldn't spend time mentally celebrating or berating ourselves, instead we should focus on performing each step in a point to the best of our abilities. Does that make sense?

[@jgrubb16]

Thanks! Would love a video on partner dynamics like when to defer for certain shots or how to set them up for shots.

[@kumikoniwayama]

Love your content. Love to learn how to clear the net when no time to react to hit back drop shots.

[@rps-hk6526]

Such a details serve video that is very practical. I hope to know more about reset and counter punch decision making in the transitional zone! Thank you for these good lesson

[@zachdel8492]

Thanks for all the great videos! I’d like to see you go more in depth with backhand volleys where you’re connecting low

[@bobf3879]

Excellent video Connor; too many players try to gain speed by squeezing the paddle too hard and trying to muscle the serve. I'd like to see a video on aggressive/push dinking skills and targets. Keep up the great videos!

[@ReboundPlanner]

First time viewer and have to say this is awesome info. What I'd like to see a video on (if not already produced) is techniques on returning a hard, deep, and spin shot to gain position power.

[@robmokry9882]

Just started playing and love the sport. I would love some more training on drop shots though. I see the importance and I’ll take any tricks to make them come land in the kitchen. Thanks for all the awesome videos!

[@rrest11]

Another great video. I would like to see a video on backhands: single vs two handed backhand. Any advantages or dis-advantages? Who or why should use what and why.

[@jamesgordy880]

Love this one!! I would really like a video on resets. I struggle with reseting drives fron higher level players. Keep up the great content!

[@EnhancePickleball]

Will do!Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! Good idea, we’ll get to work on that one. You’re officially entered into the giveaway. In the meantime join our Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/952737785390543 It’s a great way to connect with us directly since our group is so small. 🙏

[@markbaril4432]

Great serving tutorial. Would like to see more content on team strategy. How to reset properly after your teammate defends etc.

[@dianegonzales]

Great video, as usual! I’d love to see a clip on doubles placement strategies! Love your content!

[@rjsophia3712]

Great video! I just switched to the drop serve now that it's no longer probationary for 2022. I use the side hit/spin, but I'm now thinking your topspin serve would fit nicely into my current technique. I'd like to see a video covering the best placement/shot selections that create unattackable shots.

[@andreaseels]

Love your videos, so easy to utilize. Maybe a video on shadowing partner rules at the net could be a good idea

[@RLKuntz]

Thanks for the video, I'm looking at many Pickleball videos to see if this is a game I could learn to play at 68 years old.

[@davidj7516]

Thank you for your time and posting. Very nice quality video. Boy, people sure ask for a lot.

[@Markomyt1]

Great video - Liked the change in the way to hit the serve. I am definitely a "Bowler"... not anymore! Thanks!

[@brianbennett1068]

Nice pointers for serves thanks. Would love to know more about lobs - offensive and defensive

[@MichelleH45]

Love your videos! Would love to see a video on what it takes to go from a 3.0 player to a 3.5 or from a 3.5 to a 4.0. What type of skills does it take to advance to each level?

[@gogreen268]

Very much enjoy your videos. Informative and easy to understand and apply!! Will try.some.of these techniques

[@johndwyer8092]

Excellent, I try to mix up speed serves, lob serves and spin serves (still working on that ) This really helped

[@renee6773]

Thanks for the terrific serve details. Love to see doubles strategy.

[@ryanblake4606]

Great video! I would love to see a video on tips on game strategy using different shots. For instance, when would be the best times to use a lob compared to backhand slice against an opponent during a match? Thanks for the content! Keep up the great work!

[@lillianstadler2213]

Thank you for your video! It is informative and makes me want to go out and practice more. To enhance it ... Would be grateful for a video on different positions I can take and why when my double partner serves...

[@PickleballJoy]

This video is excellent. I know I'll review it periodically to keep sharp. Your explanations have a clarity not found in many pickleball videos. If you would explain how and when -- and when NOT -- to stack in Dubs, I bet it would be another favorite.

[@mattsmedley]

Tons of info here on PickleBall serves! Love the quick delivery of so much info! (I thought I was watching 1.25 or 1.5 speed, but your normal speaking kept me dialed in without having to speed it up, haha! A short video on when it makes sense to back away from the kitchen would be a great addition to your series. Thanks!

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@terribeaubien6171]

I'd like to see more NVZ dink and rally drills for 1, 2 or 4 people. Great video on serving. Thanks!

[@neilchakrabarti6774]

I've leard so much from you. Thanks!

[@merieleon8394]

HI,Great videos, I have been watching for awhile now, thought I should finally comment, your videos are spot on, Can't wait to go outside and try the serves, & all the other great stuff I've learned. Thanks.

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad you like them!

[@dtwfp]

I'd love to see a video on serve placement strategies as to the receiver's forehand vs backhand, spins, and changing depth.

[@rauten6588]

I'd love to see video getting your opinion on the paddles - your preference and recommendations - also the balls, where to get ensuring the specifications are correct - thank you for videos - awesome and straight forward

[@F7269]

This is a great video, been struggling with my serve, I think I have great ideas now after watching this. Thanks for the great tips.

[@scottknight2192]

Thx for breaking the serve down so well!!! Can you comment on the best and worst indoor and outdoor balls? Thx

[@stevederose1682]

Thanks for the serving tips, going out to practice now. Would like to see video on topspin forehand from the transition line to baseline, that can dip to opponents feet. New to PB, coming from tennis background, and this shot is driving me crazy. Thanks

[@sandypwest]

Great tips!!! And the dink board looks awesome!!!

[@seanmcelhaney8637]

Really enjoy your videos. Very informative and easy to implement. I am struggling with keeping the paddle face square on my shots. I use the continental grip, but find the majority of my mishits are due to not squaring the paddle face. TIA

[@nealfrank1825]

Would love to see how to anticipate Erne’s or ATPs for the next vid! Or when to go for a third shot drop versus a third shot drive!

[@patticarey8415]

Excellent video, is it beginner I have been struggling with a serve either going out or into the net. I think your video will help me immensely.

[@BrassHammer]

Now that you've created a vid with the sweet serve, follow that up with an initial return vid, focus on placement vs opponent position. Nice content! Keep them coming!

[@andyperrigo5000]

Very helpful video for the PB newbie. I need to go search your archive for strategy videos. But I'd like to see a video on doubles strategy.

[@angielebaron270]

Thanks! Good tips. Now to execute the wisdom.

[@slackersc11]

Great content! I would like to see a video on recommended types of shoes for pickleball. Thanks!

[@BoulderingHighlights]

[@coleholan6299]

Would love to see a video on importance of paddle type and differences between paddles.

[@jamarburton23]

Thanks...perfecting backhand for next video

[@belindarees-evans9474]

Love this video. I would like the next video to teach me how to move fast around the court safely.

[@chadkinkela5186]

Sure would like to know more about different paddles. So MUCH information out there about paddles. I have a Costco paddle as i am just starting out. Would like to upgrade but feel a bit overwhelmed. Thank you.

[@EnhancePickleball]

You got it! I'd recommend a Selkirk paddle - They have a few in the $100-$200 range that hold the quality of a $300 paddle. I use the Power Air line but the " SLK Halo" is $140 and is an awesome paddle.

[@leanneterry4700]

Appreciate the serve breakdown and easy analogies/visuals. Would love to see a video on controlling tempo and how it works to add W's!! Thank you!!

[@EnhancePickleball]

Thanks for the idea! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! Good idea, we’ll get to work on that one. You’re officially entered into the giveaway.

[@gerardovelazquez3597]

Excellent advice! Thank you!

[@user-vi5zr7vz9w]

Good tips -need all the help I can get 😊

[@sallysteeler4life237]

Thanks for the video - I think it will help my serve a lot. I am interested in learning more about the types of holds & when to use them. I've noticed some paddlers using a finger behind the paddle and others having more of a handshake grip. I never played tennis so I don't have a lot of experience with handle grips but I assume when you are using different shots you may change your grip. You mentioned using a 3:10 grip in the video so maybe you can explain what that means as well. I appreciate the work you put into the videos.

[@dwaynecarpenter8747]

Great information for beginners like me. I will try this out ASAP. i would like to a video on placement

[@joej9640]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@paolad5849]

Good tips! I’d like to see a video on different paddles and why use em.

[@edharvey-yn8un]

As a new player, I appreciate videos dealing with the serve.

[@leonbailey3896]

Liked the video. I would like to see a video on adding the 2 handed backhand and forehand.

[@daisyy5878]

Thanks, Connor. I’d like to see more on shot selection.

[@markbriggs6130]

I am interested in learning more about moving laterally along the non-volley zone to shrink the gaps on defense.

[@808Kindness]

Thank you for this densely-packed informational video! Please do a video on offensive lobs. When in a dinking battle is it ever right to hit an offensive lob? If so, when and how should it be executed?

[@Soccertz1]

Ooooo thanks for that idea lol

[@annegoodson997]

Awesome video. I have saved it for reference. For future videos, I would like to learn how to get quicker at the net

[@EnhancePickleball]

Glad it was helpful!

[@adreamclellan6924]

Great video on techniques for serves!! Can’t wait to get out amd practice them. Curious what you used as targets in the oppenents end. I was thinking I could use pool noodles 🤔. Thank you

[@margiespitza5200]

thanks for a great video. I'm a newbie and would like to see you help us by giving us important tips on taking the senior 2.5 play to a 3.0

[@kimleith1378]

Great tutorial as always. I use a piece of Yellow nylon rope instead of the white pipes. Easy to pack up. Just a thought..

[@jayrhoades4318]

Great video. I need help on controlling my backhand shots. Make that video next.

[@Exaideum]

Love this. Would love to see more tips and tricks for practicing without a partner (like with the dink pad).

[@EnhancePickleball]

Great suggestion! Coming soon...

[@nickramirez5670]

I’m new to pickle ball and would love to be able to serve like that!! Time to get some reps in…

Great tips. I’m practicing to improve my serve.

[@EnhancePickleball]

[@lorialessandro4056]

Very Informative video and the video footage are very affective

[@debbiewegner4089]

Great tutorial on serving. I need one explaining why serving from the left to right side is more difficult- at least for me personally.

[@Renerator]

Great vid Connor! Have you made a Doubles positioning video? Thanks Man!
