Are you related to Navajo tribe? Thanks!

[@cjudo]

can you make a pros vs 5.0s where the pros play with wooden paddles or $20 paddles

[@douglasmurdoch7247]

Yeah plywood paddles versus Gen 3 Joolas

[@DannyBPlays]

this is a great idea! I know good paddles make a difference but I'd like to see how much of a difference

[@marcpr3032]

Already been done on KZbin

[@brett7011]

Waste of time.

[@chums101]

Awesome idea but I don’t see their paddle sponsors allowing it

[@melisamelisa8929]

Very helpful video! I have a question is Anyone using Oliver-Sport paddle? Curious to hear your thoughts?

[@DannyBPlays]

Props to making a 7:30 video when 99% of pickleball tut vids waste extra time to get over the 8 min mark

[@craigmarley5926]

Thanks for the excellent tips! I'll try them out. Playing indoor with level 3.5-4.0 players, they are mostly bangers and do not/will not dink more than once. You expect a dink back and get an offensive lob. Catches you off guard.

[@BoulderingHighlights]

Thanks for always uploading helpful tips! the presentation in this one is really clear

[@bethechange4726]

Great Vid, Sir!! Congrats on besting the John Bros, much deserved and honor to witness!! Thanks!

[@fire.pickleball]

I find myself locked on that kitchen line so often! I like how you come off the line and give yourself time for the ball to come down. Can't wait to work more on the dink!

[@ADJoshua1]

I actually like a looser wrist: it’s easier to achieve tip down paddle positioning when the ball is low, easier to absorb ball momentum for control, easier to allow the paddle face to move for spin. Not saying being wristy, so consistency is not an issue…

[@ThomasNudd]

Super-helpful video, Zane.

[@bretjones1211]

Love that Texas Tech is represented in this video! That's the icing on the cake of great and easy to follow advise!

[@ChristianRedecenDavies]

Takeaway - ‘Bare minimum’, I see too many players winding up like they want to send the ball to another state! Great tips Zane

[@joysonmenezes2158]

in regards to breaking your wrist: what's your wrist position for top spin dinks? the paddle tip has to be down which requires to break that wrist

[@douglasmurdoch7247]

Topspin is more of a side to side break. I think he’s talking more about the front to back break. Front break giving you a limp wrist, and back break giving you a “talk to the hand”.

[@mediumdun18]

bare minimum at East or Central ?

[@fishfiendzoo]

"Doing what I did in high school... which is the bare minimum" :D

[@mddale]

Very helpful.

[@nchambers007]

"doing what I did in high school ... the Bare Minimum". I feel that.

[@wadejensen6829]

Drinking game when "dink" is said...go!

[@DannyBPlays]

when the video is about dinks and is 7:30, yeah, he's gonna say that word a lot

[@Bob_DaBuilder-i3x]

"Can't hit a good dink without a good paddle" Ummm did you see Ben Johns beat 2 intermediate/advanced players with a frying pan?

[@bunhead8]

I thought this was an educational video not an advertisement...geesh...

[@1afly2]

"1 million dinks" is quite a stretch... that is 274 dinks EVERY SINGLE DAY for a DECADE... you my friend, are NOT doing that, nor have you done that...

[@juleerudolf2106]

"Millions" of dinks in 10 years? Even if it were just two million over 11 years (you've been playing since 2013), that's 500 dinks every day. More if there are any days you don't play. Just saying...

[@ariwagner9120]

4128 days ≈ 242.25 dinks per day. I dont see this as unlikely for a pro and a coach and trainer. You could hit ~250 dinks in an hour a day.

[@juleerudolf2106]

@@ariwagner9120 He said "millions" twice. I'm saying that, at a minimum, means two million (the title says 1 million). Okay. I'm against arguing, just a bit of a skeptic 🫤. Five hundred seems like a lot.
