NO KITCHEN for 5.0s vs Pro Pickleball Players!

In this episode of Pickleball Pros versus 5.0s, professional players Zane Navratil and Jack Munro face off against Austin and Dylan, two skilled 5.0 players. However, the stipulations heavily favor the 5.0s. They are allowed to move all the way up to the kitchen line, essentially eliminating the non-volley zone, which significantly alters the dynamic of the game.

Jack Munro's pickleball journey began unexpectedly at the age of 10, sparked by a shoulder injury while playing baseball. This injury led Munro to discover pickleball, and he quickly became obsessed with the sport. Jack ventured into local tournaments and rapidly ascended the ranks, ultimately becoming the youngest 5.0 (pro at the time) player in the world.
Jack has passionately embraced pickleball, establishing himself as one of the nation's top pickleball prospects.
In 2023, Munro won the English Open Gold Medal in Men's Doubles with Rob Nunnery and followed it up with a Gold Medal at the 2024 APP New York event in Doubles with Mario Barrientos. Jack is also a member of the prestigious APP Next Gen National Team, a group of 12 elite players selected to participate in APP events across the United States and compete in international tournaments like the English Open.
Beyond his competitive achievements, Jack is the founder of the Longhorn Pickleball Club at the University of Texas at Austin. This club provides a platform for both amateur enthusiasts to enjoy the social aspects that enhance pickleball experiences for competitive players to travel and participate in national-level competitions.
Zane Navratil has etched his name in the annals of the sport's history with a resplendent display of skill and tenacity.
Affectionately dubbed "Gucci" by players and commentators alike, Navratil's moniker serves as a testament to his unparalleled mastery of the game. With over 80 medals adorning his illustrious career, Zane's journey from amateur enthusiast to professional remains nothing short of inspirational.
Navratil's odyssey into the world of pickleball commenced amidst a backdrop of varied athletic pursuits, including a burgeoning love affair with tennis. Introduced to the sport at the tender age of 10, Zane's affinity for tennis blossomed, culminating in a trifecta of Wisconsin state championships for The Prairie School from 2012 to 2014.
Navratil embarked on a relentless pursuit of pickleball excellence. Transitioning from amateur enthusiast to full-time professional in 2020, Navratil's ascent through the ranks has been meteoric, cementing his status as one of the preeminent figures in the global pickleball pantheon.
Beyond his formidable prowess on the court, Zane's impact transcends mere competition. A fervent advocate for the sport's growth and accessibility, Navratil traverses the country, imparting his wisdom and expertise through immersive pickleball clinics.
In a realm where every stroke is imbued with the promise of triumph, Zane's legacy endures as a beacon of inspiration for aspirants and aficionados alike looking to enhance pickleball enjoyment beyond their normal capacity.

Zane , just in case you read this, I wanted to offer belated congratulations on your recent wedding. Saw the photos from newsletter and it looked like an amazing honeymoon. Wish you many years of happiness. It's nice seeing you wearing that wedding ring on the court!

[@fairx]

why does this channel have better replays than the PPA?

[@GoldenPickled]

Things tend to be a lot more difficult live and the reasons are self explanatory

[@maxg5196]

@@GoldenPickled No, there is no excuses for the PPA. They need to get there shit together

[@GoldenPickled]

@@maxg5196 oh I agree, trust me. It’s just that live productions will never be quite as good as post. That being said ppa is a joke

[@ardynites1733]

Because it’s not live.

[@mbr05c]

Because it’s not live.

[@Jackmunropickleball]

Best video in the series yet. Such a blast. Thanks for the carry Zane

[@cpadurar]

So funny. Now let's see Zane to play Singles against doubles.

[@bicyclethief]

Jack's butts-up shot into the net is right up there w/ 50 Cent's pitch

[@Jackmunropickleball]

That’s crazy 😂

[@BlGSac]

If they had used the No Kitchen rule sooner, they would have won

[@gabeanderson8816]

And they didn’t USE it use it. They could have staggered their position a little and the up guy could have hit totally in returnable angles through the sides of the Pro’s kitchen. This game highlights how top athletes are quick to make adjustments when needed.

[@BPH_BPH]

dying laughing at the end

[@ibsnipingyou]

We need one of these episodes sponsored by close call cameras with some fun slo mo replays!

[@fairx]

most of these videos come down to the 6.0s being way better with pace than the 5.0s. they don't even need slow game to win points.

[@gabeanderson8816]

Agree and good observation 👏🏼

[@Godseijuro]

By far the best PB channel lmaooo

[@mbr05c]

They spent so much time behind the kitchen line that was painful to watch.

[@frankfurter7260]

Like the one guy said, it’s very difficult to “rewire” for this particular new rule. I don’t doubt it. If they had a few practice sessions to get used to it they would have won pretty easy I bet.

[@BJay579]

Hands down this is my favorite pickleball channel on YT. Zane kills the content. Cheers!

[@ADA513]

I love watching these videos.

[@dundundunnnnnn8717]

Took them so long to actually use the no kitchen rule haha. Pickleball habits

[@mikeoliver861]

A blast to watch this!

[@JeffLandauer]

These videos are great. I wonder how it would go if the 5.0's knew the rules beforehand and could practice? I feel like in most of these videos the team with the different rules would get a lot better with a few games of practice, but then maybe the game wouldn't be as close.

[@jlwade87]

That was a lot of fun to watch.

[@aznlntegraboi]

Jack is so fun lol and no hook because y'all got hooked out of a point anyways!

[@grousehouse]

It's easy to Monday Morning QB this stuff (playing outside the rules is tough to do), but anytime the 5.0s hit a good third that forced Zane/Jack to take it off the short hop -- you CLOSE on to the net and put that next one away. They're trying to hit a short dink, but with no kitchen, you can stand there and angle it away. Or at least it seems that way on paper. LOL. Great stuff!

[@pickleballinwithdave]

Great job Dillin!! Shout out to Astria!

[@damiencoffey2391]

I guarantee those 5.0's were not tennis players! They were not even taking advantage of getting on top the net! I would've been poaching and making it a no dink zone! I would be having one player up on top of the net when receiving serves!

[@MattiosCalbreath]

What paddle are you using?

[@mrtomgiorgio]

Play with a Franklin sweet spot trainer paddle

[@johnm1271]

12 - 16 ball was out - no hook

[@OnlyMemphis]

Great game

[@ImportantComment]

11:45 such a hook wowwww

[@beemercycle]

Half the time the 5.0's forgot they could go into the kitchen.

[@fairx]

austin won't go in the kitchen lol

[@Amordil]

What does hook em mean?

[@larrymartin1075]

the lob at 8-10,,, did he nick it or totally miss? lol

[@mikesvirtualhikeandtours1721]

Fun

[@sydney.hale_]

🔥

[@richardkester3664]

Can we do exposed cheeks in the future?

[@robrodgersse]

Jack and Zane got ripped off of a point at 16-12. You guys didn't get the point for the side out at 16-12

[@mea694]

They don't know the simple rules of pickleball! How they were in the kitchen and smashing the ball with out letting it bounce!🤦🏻

[@lucyli1742]

Lobs need go all the way to the baseline area.

[@ardynites1733]

Zane you’re far to old to be saying “cap”

[@Walkerbjj]

*too old

[@robrodgersse]

no hook

[@frankfurter7260]

I saw Jack win the APP NYC Open doubles with Mario Barrientos. It’s fun to play but forget about drawing more than a small crowd let alone a Tv audience. Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, speed up and hands battle. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

[@ender133]

For the next challenge you guys need do something like what they did on gladiators tennis.....sweet spot trainer, frying pan, and dino suit.....switch every 5 points kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpfUXn-KhpKAmrMsi=wYa0aNcyaMAS7SeT

[@larrymartin1075]

sorry, 8-9… lol either way,, just for fun 👍
