Another great video. Love these point breakdowns. Most instruction videos from other people are too long, but yours are so information-dense that they could be even longer. I'd be interested to hear comments on footwork and swing technique too
Love love love the high level point breakdowns. My pickle IQ and strategy awareness just jumped up tremendously just from watching this, please do more of these!!!
I agree with all the others, more breakdown videos. I liked hearing about the bounce concept, and would love to hear any thoughts on placement options along with likely implications for followup shots.
Excellent breakdown at slow speed given how fast the pro level is. I studied the footwork as that's one of my challenges. For the team in black they did textbook split steps for balance and stability. Great tip also on number 1 goal when on defense. Thank you the video and straightforward explanation.
So nice to see the point in slow motion with the highlighted ‘offense’ and ‘defense.’ In real time I don’t see half of what you pointed out. Thanks so much for the great lesson!
Love this video! Strategy is key and yet is so subtle in pickleball, one foot back of the kitchen and you give up your position advantage. Great break Down 👍 !!!
Another Austin resident. Quickly becoming the "MECA" for Pickleball. Realestate prices are appealing for sure. Weather is full of surprises. Your breakdowns are helpful.
This was by far the singular most helpful video I have ever watched about pickleball. I would love more videos breaking down the offense/defense/neutral concept on other segments of pro matches. I truly didn’t know any of this, and to say it blew my mind is an understatement. More please!!
I like the breakdown of Offense/Defense/Neutral. Lastly I used you link to purchase a Spinshot Player Machine. Tim was really helpful. If you come up with other drills, I'd love to see them. Your Roll Volley and Creating a Point are both awesome 👍
This was a very thorough and well timed breakdown. I find your content to be helpful, well thought out and explained, and paced well. You speak clearly and with good pace without breezing through too quickly or moving too slowly. Thanks for the high quality and insightful pickleball content. It is helful for me and I also enjoy sharing it with fellow picklers.
Really like the point breakdowns. I can see that I am not in the correct place on the court during my rallies. I would like to see more of this. Thank you.
This break down was awesome. I liked the offense, defense, neutral toggle as the point progressed. This kind of content is great for intermediate players (4.0/4.5) looking to move towards advanced levels. That category of content is largely missing amongst the sea of beginner videos.
Hope your move to Austin was painless. For the best BBQ in TX try either of the 2 County Line restaurants - an Austin tradition! Also, Great idea to include "Offense" and Defense" graphics in your breakdown videos. They show how frequently and quickly the advantage is gained and lost in the blink of an eye. Also, your narrative explains possibly le alternative shot selections for the changing player positions. Great video. Thank you.
John. Your comments are exceptionally helpful as you break things down into defense and offense and neutral. Loved/learned from comment ‘on defense, have to get it to bounce to get back to neutral or offense v “. I’ll remember that
Yes, would like to see some more. Also I think the same kind of analysis on 3.5-4.0 plays would be helpful since many of us are at that level and we do play differently than the pros.
Just getting started in the game, and no where near at this level, but this slo-mo breakdown is super helpful. So much of the game is training your brain how to think…really how to react…and this walkthrough is very helpful. Thank you!
