The Strategy That Took Down World's #1 | Slow Motion Point Analysis

[@kosanmr2]

Gabe is kryptonite against the John’s brothers. Like you said, he’s totally unpredictable, not to mention tall and long.

[@chea7z913]

I haven't seen the match yet but I saw Ben's mixed doubles performance... if it's anything like that here then they lost because Ben was performing awful. He's just not as dominant as he used to be. He makes a lot more unforced errors and bad decisions from a lack of patience. Either he's gotten worse or people are finally closing the gap. I suspect it's a combination of both

[@kosanmr2]

@@chea7z913 Gap is def. closing, causing Ben to take more chances, increases risk of making more errors.

[@jeetkuneball9580]

Quang Duong/Alshon beat the Johns brothers three times in a row recently.

[@Racquetman8448]

I’m going to remember volley dinks

[@andraford21]

Thanks! I learned something. I love your reviews. I don't like to watch lessons on KZbin, so I learn from these game reviews.

[@Leonardokite]

Very interesting analysis and fantastic play to analyze. Also, I really like your outro, well done.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@georgewu4854]

Love the detailed analysis. It's hard for a rec player like me to identify the finer points of what the pros do and the split second decisions they make. Please do more of these types of analysis!

[@denisebradt]

Great diagnostics. Thanks for covering this match. It was epic. Do more!

[@markmcelroy1256]

hey man can you show the real speed play sometimes too after showing the slow mo back and forth and back and forth. thanks

[@dangranda8845]

Dude these videos are amazing! I love the breakdown.

[@vupac3000]

I love these analysis videos!

[@Nrahotep]

insightful analysis. In the past, I usually see Tardio standing upright at the line. He didn't do that in this match. Kudos to all four players.

[@Amordil]

@8:57 yea that’s genius you can see Collin prepared for a speed up with a double backhand as it’s going over his head thanks for this breakdown!

[@t81629]

This is why St. Louis Shock are so tough, Tardio and Big H together are too good.

[@timmahsmith]

Loved the video Ed.

[@CKMD1]

Thanks Ed. Fantastic analysis

[@dkipu266]

Nice breakdown, thanks for posting.

[@wtang7]

Thanks for the excellent disection of the game to help us appreciating all details that can be missed easily.

[@andrewlenz]

Nice work, Ed.

[@drfathercawk8960]

It would be crazy to see ben team up with gabe

[@binkyandtony]

Great pacing and live editing while you explain, other youtubers take note!

[@wtpiep82]

Love the analysis, do more.

[@juancmunozr]

Awesome and yes please more game analysis, thanks.

[@micktranbarger5471]

Excellent review and insights that I did not pick up while watching this live in KC

[@Mad_Money_Mike]

Thanks for the highly insightful analysis. 👍

[@rosariarose4181]

Would love to see a breakdown of the womens double final, the 3rd game had some crazy changes in aggression from both sides. Im like keep playing like that and you’ll win and then bamm back to what they did the first two games.

[@JonBLodi]

Yes, more of these, please! Always learn a lot from these slow-mo breakdowns. Thank you!

[@IntuitivePickleball-cg1sf]

yeah wow

[@bethechange4726]

Great Vid thanks!!

[@nakiahood8668]

Great analysis 👍🏾

[@thewildwest2013]

Nice

[@mannyman502]

“High rinks”. Are deliberate.. baits the John brothers to attack

[@UrsinoPro]

Awesome video. Very helpful breakdown

[@gaiusgracchus7475]

Excellent!

[@wbuck926]

This was awesome!! Can you do a similar analysis of a women's double match?

[@Gfygfy77]

Love this! Please do more. The real game analysis on shot types and strategies is fantastic 💯

[@BJJandBS]

cool vid! you should cut up some more paddles. maybe one of those Honolulu paddles and compare it to a Ruby. Lots of hype coming out and i think it might be bunk

[@janetabraham9017]

Fascinating!

[@swish1onu]

So at the 3:51 mark you can see Ben Johns foot is in the "no volley" zone when he returns a volley... is this not a penalty?

[@stewtheman]

No penalty because the ball bounced in the kitchen. You can't stand in the kitchen while volleying (which means hitting it before it bounces) but you can stand in it all day long if you're hitting it after it bounces each time.

[@swish1onu]

@@stewtheman .. thanks for the clarification... much appreciated

[@geraldelliott815]

@7:00 Had Ben Ben (been) 🤣🤣🤣

[@edjupickleball]

🙃

[@wolfredboy6081]

wow! What an amazing channel!

[@edjupickleball]

Thanks! Cheers

[@jasonwalker1959]

Beyond a bit more "unpredictable than Colin"; he can actually create a lot of offense when he gets a chance to touch a ball.

[@rickkyle5107]

Great analysis. It would be nice to see the point in real time right after you explain it though.

[@edjupickleball]

I would like to as well, but KZbin flags the video as copyright if the clip isn’t modified :(

[@masteringr6714]

Why does Ben hit so many dinks behind his body? Particularly his forehand dinks.

[@newmaniese]

I would love to see the point at full speed at some point

[@klacsanzky77]

This looks to be the full match that is analyzed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYXPcpJunJ2smas

[@doc-bj4bj]

These players are pretty good. I think we all can learn something from them 😅

[@c.e.w5833]

8:30 so feet are cool in the kitchen before the ball bounces?

[@engineerferns2050]

Yes as long as you don’t volley the ball. It is just a no-volley zone not a no-step zone.

[@millisock]

Stop calling it the "kitchen" and call it by its real name "non volley zone" and you have your answer.

[@molson62]

@@engineerferns2050and if the ball doesn’t bounce in the kitchen can you step in the kitchen?

[@jackiebean8560]

Really like the analysis and slow mo and graphics. The cursor is more distracting than helpful.

[@OMY2FYB]

Federico not FederiKo

[@kevngu7256]

Collin’s always upset or complaining and whining about something 😆

[@jeetkuneball9580]

Young players are catching up with Ben fast, at least hard for him to play 1-on-2 anymore. Collin is not improving and becomes a liability. He is no longer the benchmark or model for the right-side player. "Neo-right-side" players are more aggressive, cover more space, and are almost equal partners to the left-side players.

[@_STNML]

Wait until doubles volleyball players start playing lol

[@davevaebutuoy]

@3:38, he stepped into the kitchen before the ball bounced. Isn't this a fault?

[@Violuminescence]

You can step into the kitchen at any time during the point, but it counts as a fault if you step into the kitchen when volleying.

[@davevaebutuoy]

@@Violuminescence Thanks for the education. I am new to the game, but have been wrongly waiting for the bounce in the kitchen before stepping in to play a non-volley there. I should be able to respond to kitchen drops better now that I understand the actual rule.

[@Gfygfy77]

Please share KZbin like of the game would be great this and in the future.

[@williewasahippie]

How much money is there in pro pickleball? We former tennis pros want to know. 😜

[@TheCrimson7272]

90% of the game is at the dink line and dinking is more pingpong than tennis. I played college tennis and had to unlearn volleys

[@williewasahippie]

@@TheCrimson7272 I'd really want to knife the volleys, especially with backspin on the 1HBH. I'd attack earlier vs dinking 20 shots, waiting for the "perfect" ball as I see so many players doing.

[@wafarris]

If you are top 5 then the money, sponsorships, appearances, and teaching can be 1M plus. Ben probably makes about $3M. Number 40 is probably not breaking even on costs.

[@billcovey9194]

Way too much verbiage. I finally skipped to near the end find out what your were attempting to tell us. I couldn't make sense of it all.

[@callees8790]

This is good analysis but less is more. Let the play proceed then go back and break down quickly.

[@ABCDEFG-xd3le]

Bro. you are not even 4.5+. How can you qualify to talk about the strategy man?

[@CodcThe2nd]

Collin Johns, is this you? This isn't even the worst take you've said in the last week

[@davidthorne2863]

This is such a garbage take for a few reasons. 1) Wouldn't be uncommon for players to be able to understand strategy at a level but not be able to play at that level due to athleticism, age, etc. Ed obviously has a strong handle on the strategy aspect of the game and is clearly qualified to talk about it. 2) multiple sites disagree with your assertion of his rating

[@Skoopatroopa]

Do you need some Vagisil, op?

[@ocelotarmory]

I hope you're just trolling... and gay.

[@danielcalderon4349]

Why are you being such a hater?

[@HighFivePickleball]

Great video! Well done 🙌 would love to collaborate on content one day
