I can't commit to these drills 5 days a week(time and money-related reasons) but I am doing them 1-2x a week plus playing 5+ times a week. Currently a 4.2 DUPR, will report back in 90 days what I get to. I think I can reasonably be between 4.5-4.7, wouldn't expect to be 5.0

Great content. Might bebworthbdoing a followup on 3p variants of these. 7/11 with 2 at net and one back is probably my favorite drill with everyone rotating to the one back position. With 2 at the net its much more realistic and hones in when/where to attack with yellow balls in transition (and obv where to target resets)

Tanner, after months and months of studying PB on YT, I landed on your channel … I think your material has been incredibly helpful. Question: what’s your opinion on relatively head-light paddles with good pop for effective attacks and counters .

@tanner.pickleball

7 күн бұрын

Hey! Thanks so much for finding me, love that you enjoy the channel. I think it depends on the person. If it works for you, it works! I use a pretty balanced paddle, and haven’t even thought to change or experiment!

I really appreciate you Tanner .

A week ago I had a clairvoyant moment, and I knew where the ball was coming back, so instead of going back to my normal ready position for a punch volley, I surprised myself by instinctively spinning the handle into pancake grip, keeping the tip pointed up, and I smashed that ball so much better ever before.

Thank you for sharing this. I was surprised to not see any cross court dinks drills on it. Could you share why you exclude cross court dinks

@tanner.pickleball

9 күн бұрын

You can add them in if needed! My main focus is hand speed and low dinks!

Tanner Love your videos, awesome. I desperately need your advice on a particular shot that is absolutely killing me. The two guys i play against are big, young and very fast. When my partner and i serve they drive the ball back hard, deep and low. Nothing seems to work from here. They are now both at the kitchen line and i can't drop it, drive it or lob it. My partner and i can hold our own if we can get to the kitchen but because of their strength, youth, speed, size and reach this is making it extremely difficult. Any advice would be much appreciated or a video on your technical skill for dealing with this situation would be great. Thanks again for all your efforts, well done! Rob

@gmont66g

Күн бұрын

My suggestion would be to stay off the court (maybe 2 to 3 feet) waiting for their return to give you time to either try a controlled 3rd shot drive that goes low and with top spin OR a 3rd shot drop. Maybe you can also try different serves, maybe a floater or to their backhand, I doubt they can hit wonderful returns deep and low off their backhand.

@johnclikeman5041

9 күн бұрын

In baseball, a meatball is a pitch that is easy to hit because it is right down the middle. So in this context, he's saying to not hit balls into the zone where the player at the net can swing the hardest, and instead make them drop into the kitchen.

Benefit of playing 7-11 as opposed to skinny singles??

You can do both. This is more reps since it’s removing serve and returns just faster of what I’m focusing on!

love the videos, hate to be that guy but @1.36 your leg was not behind the ball when you hit it, and one of your videos says that your leg need to be off the bounce. Good video though!

You are totally right! I rushed this shot (on purpose) so this clip would make sense in a quick fashion! Glad you pointed that out!

You also played tennis before playing pickleball didn’t you? It’s going to be very hard for a person who’s brand new to racket sports to get to a 5.0 in 3 months. Also, you didn’t include a cross court backhand dink drill?

@tanner.pickleball

You can add in cross court if needed. I played just in high school. Obviously the person has to be somewhat athletic to achieve this goal.

@@tanner.pickleball Coming from a tennis background, PB in single is very much the same like serve and volley in tennis but the returner is the one rushing to the net instead of the server in PB. Most former tennis players that play PB will hit topspin FH and BH passing shot and pass the PB net rusher easily. That's why you see guys like Jack Sock (former ATP player), or Chris Haworth (former D1 tennis player at OK state), are quickly well known on the PPA tour.
