Of all the pros and non-pro RU-vidrs out there, these are the best. Informative, edited, & produced at a cut above all the others out there. Keep it up!

Kyle, you have a gift for video instruction. You break everything down into the the most critical elements, making the concepts easy to understand. Your gift of humor is an added layer, making learning fun! Best in your pro career, but you are #1 in instructional videos! Thanks, enjoy your channel enormously.

Kyle. This video is one of, if not your absolute, best. First the content is ultra-important, the delivery is perfect, mixing the message with the fun stuff you do best. Also the graphics, animation and special effects are fantastic. Your editor is so imaginative and very talented. Making you disappear into the "black hole" is genius. You are one of the best "RU-vid" instructors out there, so keep these great fun and informative videos coming. 👍

That video will come out in the next few weeks! I agree, more data on this would be good. It's coming!

@craigmarley5926 9 месяцев назад

Great video. I play indoors and with 2 at the kitchen and both opponents back, they commonly hit a lob to our baseline. By the time one runs back to get the lob, they have reached the kitchen. Tough problem. I find the best solution is to lob in back. I find players good at lobs are not so good at returning lobs.

I like the hole in the kitchen that you almost fell into that's hysterical. I have such angst about moving up. I like to stay back and I know that's bad. I've gotta get up to the kitchen.

@thatpickleballguy 9 месяцев назад

Get to the kitchen! You'll improve over time :)

@Scotticus07 9 месяцев назад

Nice well done video! I think you could talk about the roll volley because you actually use it three times to reach in and hit low balls over the net with pace during the "three chances" segment. Whereas in the instructional part, you really only talk about popping it up with a reach or taking a step back to hit it off the bounce. Option 3: Roll volley to hit a low ball over with topspin and pace to maintain your +1 or 2 advantage.

@thatpickleballguy 9 месяцев назад

yes, I could have done more with this for sure. I debated doing a longer segment on it, but then decided I'd do a more in depth video on just that shot sometime soon!

@seanballent917 9 месяцев назад

If two players are stuck back I think down the middle is the play. It doesn't just cause confusion but squeezes both players so that if they get the ball back you have an easier angled put-away.

@DuchessofGlouchester 9 месяцев назад

There are drills to fix just about any problem with your game, you just have to identify the issues. Take a video of your next game and watch for your mistakes. If you are having trouble identifying them, ask a friend or a professional to look for you. Once you know that your serve is too short and your motion on your backhand causes you to pop the ball up, you can drill to fix the problems. It is not easy, and it is not fast, but if you drill on what you don't do well, you will improve.

@thatpickleballguy 9 месяцев назад

Great advice!
