This Match Made Me A Top 5 World Ranked Pickleball Player 

I think you can still talk a lot about basic singles strategies and skill sets without giving away your specific strategies against certain top pros. This would make the videos more insightful for the average single player and give you out more to talk about IMO.

You’ll get em soon enough. You’re never quit attitude is admirable. Also, you’ll be unstoppable as your mental game continues to evolve. 🤘

Control your mind! Christian do you still force yourself to smile between every point? That is the best advice you’ve ever given us!

First, live the content Christian I’ve been loving the dynamic between you and ALW on and off the courts 🔥 Keep up the good work you have goat potential

Winning at singles is all about putting on pressure using the serve return, keeping the unforced errors to a minimum, and being able to switch between hard and soft game without making too many errors. Conditioning is huge as well. The actual tactics come down to pressuring either the opponent’s forehand or backhand.

I enjoyed watching this video and seeing that you have matured so much since your debut! You used to be so flashy, but you have got so much better after you stopped chasing fancy tweener shots!

Top 5....deservedly so. and love your videos.

I found great value in watching and learning from your insightful analysis. Your commitment to practice shows your impressive progress and results

That tweener that won the give away was disgusting

Hey Christian, great game! I was watching it live from school on the Tennis Channel! One thing I noticed though was that at 10-10, Ben's serve looked illegal. From the camera view, it looked like it was above his belly button. I might be wrong because of the angle but please do confirm!!!

CA, again a great match & analysis/commentary. Can't wait till you make Ben run his half off for a full match.🤣 You can see your game developing/refining weekly in high level/high stress games.... you must really be working hard in practice on your "off" days. "Making him play " is one of your comments I need to get right, especially when I play against 4.0-4.5's. Your point of not trying to hit 90% hard "perfect shots" really hit me, slowing shots down 10-15% would result in the ball staying in play instead of net or out. I need to internalize & implement those 2 things starting tomorrow Thanks so much for these videos🙏👏

Great analysis! Looking forward to you making more analysis videos :)

Thank you for your time and posting. Great stuff.

Hey man quick observation question, I noticed in tennis you played with a one handed bh, why the 2hbh in Pickleball? Does it help you get the ball down low easier, I would think playing a 2hbh would limit your reach! Thanks

that bryce larson guy who won the contest is crazy insane good for him, truly shocked me! good player

You’re so close! Keep grinding and it’s yours.

I have a question. I only recently started playing pickleball but I’m a former college tennis player and a lot of the people I play with are pickleball experienced. Many of them have multiple different paddles, one for more power, one for more control, another with added weight etc, is it normal for a pro to switch paddle types? For example, in tennis in college I had four rackets but they were all the same racket I would never switch racket types so in my head I would want to get the one paddle I really like, master that, then get a backup or two if I compete

Great stuff!

Great match Christian

Love your analysis vids, but… I’m pretty sure it’s called a “net cord” but I’m pretty sure you’re saying “net court” 😂

The less you make video like this. The less your oponents knowing about you.

Bro top 5 and casually has a RU-vid channel

Too bad you winning was a one and done. Maybe if you were not so arrogant and could control your emotions, you would do better.

Bens serve does look a little SUS. would need a better angle to really see.
