I Wish I Learned THIS shot earlier.. #pickleball #pickleballtips #shorts 

At the 3.5 level, I love that third shot drop. But I know one level up, many will leap over the kitchen and use an Ernie.

Watched your APP highlights against Will, you played great man! So exciting to see you in an APP semi after learning so much from your videos the past few months. Can’t wait for the breakdown video!

Tanner, i was sending your video out to seem of my friends. Then, one of them (Neal Bott) said, "too funny, that guy plays with David Salvagi." LOL. I didn't know you were local. dude, keep up the good work !!! you have a great formula and on screen presence. plus, you talk "mechanics" clearly, which most are incapable of doing with such clarity.

dude. your videos are crushing it

Outstanding Video, thanks Mr.T!!

As an ex-table tennis player, I have a great backhand, including a backhand roll (for when I can take the 3rd shot drop from the air), and developed an excellent two-handed rip for when I have to allow the 3rd shot to bounce. It's fantastic going middle, but I have to improve it to go down the line, probably by being extra patient to allow the ball to travel closer to my body before ripping it. I just might be a 4.0 at this point. Thanks Tanner. Your videos are super useful!

You can still drive it with one hand as well! Might not be as natural for most players, but for tennis players with a one-handed backhand like me, it works way better than using two hands.

Learning so much. Loving it.

Great advise. Thank you.

Tanner I agree with your stance on 1-handed vs 2-handed BH off the bounce that others seem to be disagreeing with. I think the missing piece is the fact that you can’t get that same “scooping” motion to generate topspin required for this shot with just one hand. It’ll most likely sail out or be easily attackable.

Watching your men’s doubles match at the Newport Beach Open - you have some of the fastest hands on the circuit!

Thanks Tanner !

Any advice for the one handed backhand players? Use to play tennis so my one handed backhand is really important to me 😅

Hi Tanner! Big fan of yours. Are you still in Chicago? Can my bf and I (3.5-4.0) get a lesson from you?! 🙏

Which parts of your body (shoulder, wrist, core) are involved in this 2H BH at the net?

But often the drop to backhand doesn’t bounce high enough to “rip” it. I do agree, it’s probably my most missed shot, where I make mistakes errors …. A low slow pace drop to my backhand.

Tanner, what is your advice when playing people you haven’t played before? I subconsciously get nervous in open play and tournaments playing unfamiliar people, so looking for any advice you have for those actuations situations.

I feel like a lot of players would just counter that shot, especially if they’re already at the kitchen

You can do this with a one handed backhand…

Second drop was double the height of the first

@tanner do you have a full video on your techniue for that two handed rip?

Why do I need 2 hands to rip it back? 😂 I can't use one hand?

Wow you really took a lof off of your one handed backhand demo. C'mon man!

Dude may be awesome, but saying, "The only thing you can do..." is almost always false, in any setting. I, for example, often hit backhands just over the net to my opponent's backhand side. I'm not necessarily special or clever, I learned that from watching the top players.

that’s a terrible drop tho it will just get sped up afyer the bounce

Or maybe learn how to hit a one handed backhand correctly.

Generally find d your videos really useful, but this is nonsense. There are a lot of people that can rip 1h backhand. Just because you can't doesn't make it impossible.

In a year you will not see a guy using a two handed backhand. Mark my words.
