The ONLY 3 Strategies That Matter For WINNING Pickleball Games At Any Level 

I've seen ALOT of pickleball videos lately, and I have to say this is the best one I've seen. Resnates strongly! Thanks!

Rec games are exactly that rec games. So when playing with or against weaker player's, play your game. Its not about winning! Practice your game and specific shots! The players that have I must win attitude don't improve much. I see it every day Anyway, great information Nicole. Thanks a bunch.

One of your best Nicole. Many thanks.

You hit on and explained exactly what I am trying to work on developing. You encapsulated and laid out clearly the specifics of strategy. I struggle with reacting to the back and forth of offensive to defensive shots and recognizing and reacting in real time to repositioning on the court.

Thanks Nicole. I've been focusing on all these. Consistency is the key.

Hey! Great video, I am binging all the other videos on the channel! I would like to ask a question if you don't mind: are we supposed to watch the opponents when they are hitting the ball to get a better read on their shoots or just watching the ball the whole time works better?

This is an excellent vid Nicole! Thank you for explaining it so clearly! 💕

Thank you. Good video!

Great video Nicole. Love the content of the lesson today. Can't wait to try it out

Excellent, excellent strategies. For me it's probably one of you very best informative videos. Thanks so much, we really, really appreciate it 🤗👍👍

Nicole, the is a great video lesson!!!

Nice. It reinforces for me what I should be doing all the time. One problem is that I get away with attacking lots and lots of shots against weaker players which gets me in bad habits. You're formula here is very helpful.

Excellent strategies! Thank you!

Thankyou again Nicole! You remind us to keep the game simple.

This is such an amazing video! Yes, I am biased because I am in it and on the receiving end of many terrific shots. But the strategies are spot on! Thank you so much for such and amazing and AWESOME content.

Another amazing video!! Thanks so much Nicole! :D

Terrific analysis! Boiling PB down to 3 core processes. Thanks!!!👍❤️👍

Your Best video to date Nicole! Well done!!

Thanks so much. This was great!

Thank you so much, excellence video.

Great video with lots of information. For me it would be helpful to have a recap of the 3 strategies at the end! Thanks!

Very good video. Thanks for helping.

Wonderful lesson thanks!

I love this analysis! Super helpful and informative. Thanks Nicole! I'm struggling now with those same people who attack ALL the time. I'm looking forward to improving enough to stop their nonsense! lol

Thank you💕

Whoa! What a great video. I'm not bad in pickleball, but I have never conceptualized what is the core strategy. And it boils down to 3 simple concepts. This is huge for me, because not knowing this, when in the heat of battle, I overwhelm myself on different shots I should play. Seeing PB from this view brings it all together. Wonderful video and many thanks. Attack, press, keep it low/neutralize.

This video is smart, concise and accurate! Consistent Execution, patience & this game plan are a winning combination.

Thanks Nicole - 1,2,3 -good stuff!!

Thank you so much. Very good strategies. Excellent for playing opposing players who are better than me too!

At rec level so many doubles players are playing singles each just doing their own thing. I’m good at the net, blocking and resetting and when with a good PB player we work well but the hard hitting baseline ex tennis players I can’t work out whether to stay back with them or try to play the net alone?

Thanks!

Hi from the philippines i love your videos

It would be nice to do a video on , the transition from tennis to becoming a proficient pickle baller,????

wait, at 3:40 is that legal? it bounced rolled off her paddle and she hit it again

IMO, all hits fall somewhere on this continuum: - Putaways: adds multiple elements of pressure at near max magnitude, primarily speed. - Push: adds one or more elements of pressure at low-medium magnitude, primarily other than speed. - Lift/reset: slow, higher arc, lands shallow without other elements of pressure, giving time to improve/recover position. Elements of pressure: speed, spin, line of foot, forced movement, surprise/disguise. The Ben Johns Rule of Shot Selection: Choose a shot on the continuum along along with a magnitude juuuust sufficient to drop the shooting percentage of your opponents to be lower than yours. If not, you’ve chosen a suicide stroke and not a putaway, push or lift/reset. So maybe the continuum is putaway-push-lift/reset-suicide.

Communication.and rather than just going to play every time work on one aspect of your game.

It's a good session on a key topic but will need several reviews to capture for me due to length and the audio while watching the video.

The three main strategies for winning pickleball (doubles): 1) be born tall with long arms: the compactness of the court gives a HUGE advantage to players with long reaches both left and right and who can't easily be lobbed over (with a larger court wherein you actually have to consider ball placement and spaing there'ss no such problem in tennis) 2) don't get paired with a subpar player because your opponents will hit it to that other player whenever they can (guess that's true in tennis, too) 3) if you have quick reflexes try to make it a dinkfest at the net; if you assess that your opponents have better reflexes than your own well then just be mean and smash it at them to get the points over with more quickly.

What the hockey sticks is pickleball?

I lack the patience and attack too often. I'll be more mindful of that moving forward.

Great instruction! But at 7.40 the female player hits a lob which forces her opponent back to the baseline. He then drives it right to her and stays back, while she at the kitchen smashes it to the cross-court opponent who of course hits the ball back. If she was smart, since the male opponent has stayed back after returning the lob, she should have did a short reset dink just over the net. I doubt whether he could have made the distance to get the dink.

Hi , Doubles tennis is rarely taught so most social doubles players play as 2 singles tennis players , it drives me potty

In summary: get ball over net, patiently win every point, learn how to rush the net and reset ball

How could we use pickleball as a tool to break out of our bubbles and empower community & economic development?

very vague explanation, there should be a more precise and specific explanation, sry

All I saw on the last point was the man stepping in front of his female partner to take an easy bounce in the kitchen RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!

Thanks!
