@SlamMasterPickleball Год назад

#1 - it kills me when I hear people say you cannot step into the NVZ until the ball bounces. I inevitably always ask - "who taught you that? Get rid of that coach/teacher."

@BetterPickleball Год назад

LOL! You hear that one way too often.

@MagicPickleball Год назад

To take this stupidity even one step further ... during my very first game, one player told me that each time I stepped into the NVZ, I would have to step out in time before the ball were to come back to me again. While I hadn't read all the rules by then, my immediate response was that who the hell would be able to tell without having four eyes and without standing by the side of the net!? Of course upon quoting the uspa rules on the phone I busted his myth within 3 mins LOL.

@ralphfraumeni6190 Год назад

So to summarize into a simple statement, you cannot hit a volley when standing in the no-volley zone. Easy enough but you better get behind the line for the opponent's next shot which may not be a dink.

@SlamMasterPickleball Год назад

You cannot go into the non-volley zone before, during and after a volley

@EliJolleyBridge Год назад

If the ball bounces outside of the NVZ, and you run forward to get it and hit the ball, is it okay to then run into the NVZ after the hit?

@BestPickleballCoach Год назад

Hello Eli. Check out the NVZ rules video CJ talked about but to answer your question, if the ball had bounced there is no volley. No volley means there can be no violation of the rule. No fault in the situation you describe. Hope this helps.

Hi Thomas not sure this was meant for me but if was thanks for the compliment!

@donelliot7650 Год назад

As I've been learning to play just by playing and getting the rules fed to me, it seems people call a fault if I just step into the zone before anything has happened. Just as part of positioning on court, people have called me out because I stepped on the line. So, from what I understand here, it's not a fault. You can run around in the kitchen all you want unless you hit a volley.. right? But if you're in there you better get the hell out before someone hits the ball at you.. Do I have that right? I get the feeling there will be heated discussion if I correct this while I'm playing.. Especially because I'm new to the crowd and people have been playing together a lot. Thanks for the clarification and your other videos, too.

@BetterPickleball Год назад

Hi Don, you are right! The only thing you can't do is hit a volley while in the NVZ. One specific I specific we didn't get into is that if you hit a volley from outside the NVZ and your momentum carries you into the NVZ that would be a fault as well. But yes, you can stand anywhere you'd like including inside the NVZ

@MichelleH45 Год назад

I never understand why people are so confused about the NVZ.

@BetterPickleball Год назад

Hey Michelle I think that comes from a few things. If you are not from a sports background, you may not understand the term volley. Plus, the way that people talk about it negatively to newcomers things like "don't"- "you committed a fault" "you can't do that" creates something to be avoided in the new players mind. The last thing is that there is so much misinformation about it. When really the only thing is you can't volley. Lol!

@christophergoh3499 Год назад

A pickleball coach told me that when I serve, at the point of contact, the ball must be below my wrist and also below my waist. Is this true? Thanks.

@joycestevens376 Год назад

I believe that is true. Below the naval.

@BetterPickleball Год назад

In the 2022 rule book they changed the word naval to waist. I remember Don Stanley who is head of the PPA refs saying 'how do I know where someone's naval is" Lol!

@doomommy 8 месяцев назад

Navel! Not naval

@mikeCavalle Год назад

Please explain NVZ resetting.

@BetterPickleball Год назад

Resetting is hitting a soft unattackable shot into the NVZ. The third shot drop is an example.

@mikeCavalle Год назад

@@BetterPickleball sorry that's not what i'm asking about -- I'm asking about "NVZ resetting" not "rally resetting".

@mikeCavalle Год назад

@Jen Bullet thank you - your description is what i've been told. A player must be "established" outside of the NVZ before they can hit the ball.

@john-ug7nc Год назад

Here is one where I get different answers. If I'm out of the NVZ and someone hits a high shot and I run and jump and hit the ball in the air over the NVZ and I land in the NVZ. Is it a fault?

@BetterPickleball Год назад

If your momentum from a shot carries you into the NVZ after the shot, yes, it's a fault.

@MichelleH45 Год назад

Yes, it’s a fault. If you jump OVER the NVZ and land outside it (like outside the court on the side) that IS legal. It’s called an Erne.

@jeffdavidson9459 Год назад

I hit a drop volley from just outside the NVZ and struggled with my balance. I stepped into the NVZ after the ball bounced twice on my opponent's side of the net and was told we lost the point because I couldn't control my body and stepped into the NVZ. I argued the point was over when the ball bounced the second time but was overruled. That outcome seems crazy to me, what is the correct call? anyhow, thanks for the informative video! Did you state in the video you were going to link to another video? best,

@DavidEChase Год назад

They were correct. See rule 9.C.1

@MichelleH45 Год назад

They were right. You committed the fault BEFORE they let the ball double-bounce.

@BetterPickleball Год назад

Dave and Michelle are correct. You need to reestablish your balance outside the NVZ after the shot. From the rule book, 9.C. During the act of volleying, it is a fault if the volleying player’s momentum causes the player to contact anything that is touching the non-volley zone, including the player’s partner. For players using wheelchairs, the front (smaller) wheels may touch the non-volley zone. 9.C.1. It is a fault even if the ball becomes dead before the player contacts the non-volley zone. The links to the other videos are at the top of the video-click on the card on the upper right side when it's mentioned.

@jeffdavidson9459 Год назад

@@BetterPickleball thanks, IMO, that's a crazy rule and difficult to administer. Much easier to call the point over once the ball is dead.

@tommysmoothsiconolfi9401 Год назад

Are you allowed to touch the kitchen line with your feet while playing?

@BetterPickleball Год назад

The line is considered part of the NVZ. Again, going back to the video, there is nothing that tells you you can stand in the kitchen, including on the line. The only thing you can't do is hit a volley when touching the NVZ. While there is nothing in the rules that prohibits you from touching the kitchen line with your feet the minute you hit a volley it's a fault, so from a practical standpoint, do not do it.

@tommysmoothsiconolfi9401 Год назад

@@BetterPickleball Thannk you. That makes sense.

@ScubaJOZ Год назад

I recently took a try pickleball class taught by a professional. His comment was that I had to step out of the NVZ and reset my feet after I enetered to play a groundstroke. I can then step into the NVZ again but only after I reset my feet. From what I have seen, is he teaching new players incorrectly?

@BetterPickleball Год назад

Although that is not a rule by any means, it is a good practice to get used to when you have enough time between shots to do so. If you do not get out of the NVZ, the opposing team can and should try to force you to hit a volley while your feet are in the NVZ to force a fault, so stepping out and resetting is a good way to make sure that doesn't happen!

@gerrydertinger7447 Год назад

…and if you don’t get out in time and your PARTNER is forced to hit a volley, that’s still a fault right? BOTH team members have to be outside the NVZ when a volley is hit - or a deep ground shot too I assume.

@BestPickleballCoach Год назад

@@gerrydertinger7447 as long as you are not touching your partner both players do not need to be out of the NVZ. Only the player who is hitting the volley.

@jaymcl1928 Год назад

Jeff, your opponents were correct. You commited a fault because your momentum from the volley carried you into the nvz. And, yes, even though the rally was over, it is still a fault. Rule 9B.1

@BetterPickleball Год назад

You're welcome. If you can find a wall, you can drill almost every shot you need.

@gerrydertinger7447 Год назад

Whoa, good clarification. My partner ran up, hit a quick unreturnable shot and in slow motion lost his balance and fell into the NVZ. He said it was ok b/c the rally was done as soon as his shot hit the far corner.

@jrptwo Год назад

I disagree with your rule not to run around your backhand. Instead, I’d say there are pros and cons. I was given the same advice as a young tennis player. Roger Federer has an excellent backhand, but his forehand is even better. He runs around his backhand all the time. In fact, he hits more forehand winners from the odd side of the court than from the even side! If you have a good inside out forehand, taking a step to the left to set it up is often the strongest play.

@BetterPickleball Год назад

The difference is in tennis you have a lot more time to do that. The pickleball court is much smaller and most players can't move quickly enough to make this a go to move and will find themselves out of position. A savvy opponent will exploit that weakness easily. That said if you are fast enough and it works for you, keep doing it. ;)

@zuzu7250 Год назад

These rules need to be simplified. Too many “exceptions” to the rules! It’s just a GAME.

@BetterPickleball Год назад

Simplification is always good, but in the case of the NVZ it’s usually players that complicate it. The rule is actually very simple. You can volley when you are in contact with the NVZ.

@ralphfraumeni6190 Год назад

The rule is there to make the game more enjoyable. Otherwise each point would last only two shots.

Worst advice: don't redirect

@BetterPickleball Год назад

You're right don't do it is not good advice! I like to say to be intentional when you redirect because it adds variability to both the shot and court coverage. Most players do it without purpose which is a mistake.

@bkmason57 Год назад

The whole "when can I hustle to the NVZ line" is simply "after a bounce on your side." No need for a 30 minute lesson.

@christiebradley Год назад

Not necessarily. There is also the consideration about your partner's position and whether you rushing to the NVZ leaves a wider opening because you get ahead of your partner and the ball is coming from the court opposite of you.
