Just wanted to say, as an enthusiastic beginner (my wife says "obsessed"!), I've watched a LOT of pickleball videos from a lot of different creators. For me, yours are the best. Very clear explanations (even when they include Newtonian physics!), very helpful tips, things I can really apply (or at least try to!) in my next game, and fun video editing. Thank you very much!

@thatpickleballguy 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely! Thanks for the kind words.

@karenk5472 11 месяцев назад

Hi, I’ve just turned 68 and have been playing pickleball for a very short time. I have been searching RU-vid for the basics and tips and techniques to help me understand the game more and hopefully help me improve. Your explanation and demonstration of shots are excellent which makes it a lot easier to understand. Thank you for posting these instructional videos. Playing sports is all about having fun, you certainly capture that.

@thatpickleballguy 3 месяца назад

Glad they are helpful and you enjoy watching! Have fun out there!

@dannycarollo546 10 месяцев назад

Kyle I’m also a certified instructor, I just watched this video of the third shot drop and it’s almost identical to the way I teach. You’re extremely gifted teacher, your knowledge of the game, your explanation breaks it down basics. But lastly you can tell you love teaching, it’s your gift! This is my first time seeing you on video but I’ll definitely be adding you in with the others. I was very blessed to become friends with Simone Jardim I was able to get private lessons. Tony Roig another friend that I think does a wonderful of the game. So I’m adding you to the list and I’ll be passing this on to my students! Great job!

@thatpickleballguy 10 месяцев назад

Light grip: pretend holding a live bird. Just enough pressure so it won’t fly away but not too tight to choke it

@arizonakaren 6 месяцев назад

I've been working with a coach, and drop shots from the baseline and mid court have been so difficult. Everything you're demonstrating in this video is consistent with what my coach is doing, but your tips, along with the added visuals, are immensely helpful. I have a tennis background, and backswinging is a hard habit to break. Thank you for making this video.

@thatpickleballguy 6 месяцев назад

Thats awesome your working with a coach. And thanks for the kind words.

@kathleenvitello6233 8 месяцев назад

@thatpickleballguy 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching. Glad it helped!

@eha11oran 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the pointers. I think you said it right about grip pressure - if you hold the grip tightly the paddle acts like a springboard. If you hold it loosely it acts more like a trampoline or bed. The ball stays in contact with the paddle face longer and so you have more control.

@thatpickleballguy 11 месяцев назад

Oo thats good!

That was a great instructional video on the 3rd shot drop. Your teaching style is easy to follow, clear and concise and provides an easy one, two, three model to remind us of what to remember when we are on the court drilling our 3rd shot drops. BTW, the training video doesn't pop up on the screen. I'm sure that it is coming though. 😉

@thatpickleballguy 10 месяцев назад

@VasiaLachinov 6 месяцев назад

Love the 3 Ls! It gives me 3 simple things to remember when I am executing the 3-rd shot drop. And that's what I call a good teaching video! I am still not very clear how to add spin with a loose grip... But maybe those 2 things can't be done together... But maybe that is a separate topic. Great video!

@markuspotter42 Месяц назад

Hey Kyle, great stuff! When you were demonstrating the top spin drop it seems like you were hitting and dropping back after the shot. Or the balance was shifting backwards after the shot. Is that intentional or do u transfer the weight forward to allow the momentum to take you forward to the NVZ?

@mikefolz3765 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your videos are so informative and helpful. I've posted this before and maybe it's just happening on my browser (Safari) but whenever you point up and say click this video I never see anything appear up there. Just wanted you to know. Are you at any tournaments in or near Ohio this summer/fall? Would love to come to see you play live.

@thatpickleballguy 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for letting me know!! I Had to correct this on a few previous videos. I messed it up. On this specific video. The video I reference actually comes out in the next couple weeks! ahh. Sorry. So it will show then. RU-vid is kinda funky. sometimes. Still getting better at it.

@thatpickleballguy 11 месяцев назад

@athios55 4 месяца назад

Great video and demonstration. Couple things I tell my students: if the swing ends above the net the ball will go over the net. I also tell students that if they consider their lower body, (the legs and hips) acts as a steering wheel, helps in direction....and hit as if there are 3 balls in a row. I also say the tighter the grip the more mass is behind your paddle...so yes, lose grip. Great stuff.

@andrewgedman1214 11 месяцев назад

That Guy has lots of enthusiasm and I think it adds good flavor to the videos. There's levity with sound instruction - lots of fun. Anyway - these drop shots feel weird at first - some feel like they won't go over the net - other times it feels like you are giving them an easy shot. You really have to hit a lot of them to remove that weird feeling. With my backhand, I want to slice through the ball instead of lift - that's a bad habit I'm working on.

@thatpickleballguy 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! I like levity :) And keep working at it. It doesn't come overnight!

@kenlicari3040 11 месяцев назад

Great video, if I can only master this shot ;)

@thatpickleballguy 10 месяцев назад

soon! Keep working at it.

@namlnh2258 2 месяца назад

which grip should we use when we to the drop shot? thanks

@fredmargolin1909 11 месяцев назад

I find that bending my knees slightly in preparation helps the lifting motion of the 3rd shot drop when the knees are extended during the stroke. It contributes to the "touch", in addition to the light grip. Also, sometimes I find that I have to come forward quickly against a perfectly placed drop shot and for a change of pace, I perform a forehand "shovel shot" hitting the lower pole of the ball...basically a back spin that sometimes surprises my opponent who will pop up the return for my partner to put away.

@thatpickleballguy 10 месяцев назад

I like that!!

@stevecobler5274 11 месяцев назад

Loved the video the only thing that I felt was unrealistic was that the return of serve is usually deep and hard so in your video your third shot drops were made from easy returns. I would have liked to see those third shot drops being made from hard return of serves. Thanks

@thatpickleballguy 11 месяцев назад

Yep, did that a lot for teaching purposes. BUT, as I mentioned in the video, if you serve it harder, you will generate a lot of short returns. Which is what you want. It's a real skill to be able to return the ball deep and hard! But working on them from the baseline is a must for sure! Thanks for bringing it up.

@lengoodhand4886 11 месяцев назад

Regarding soft grip, I always reference Jack Nicklaus (greatest golfer of all time with 18 major wins and 117 tournament wins). He described holding the golf club as "cradling a baby bird". I tell my beginners, imagine your paddle hand is holding a baby bird. Good videos, keep it up!

@thatpickleballguy 11 месяцев назад

OO that's really good!
