This is such a great way to speed up the ball from a seemingly defensive position

Exactly!

This shot will be one of our drills this evening, thanks Tanner.

Love that!

Why do I feel like I am twisting myself into a pretzel to do this shot😂

Last night i watched a video of you explaining the diff between how a 4.0 player hits a forehand as opposed to a 5.0 player and tried to apply it today while playing with my friends and,guess what,it worked most of the time even though i'm not even a 3.0 player and took up pickleball about a year ago as part of my retirement enjoyment of what life has to offer...i just wish that i was young enough to face you one day and make you regret making these videos :)))...all kidding aside,thank you for your help and i'm looking forward to more of your excellent videos...btw,are you competing professionally ?

@@tanner.pickleball Great,i hope it's televized the next time you play,so far i'm following Ben Johns and Anna Leigh's matches,it would be a pleasure to see you compete,but even if i don't get a chance to see you perform in tournaments,i wish you goodluck.I had the pleasure of seeing Anna Leigh walk into the Diadem Pickleball Center at the Broward College in Coconut Creek Fl,and it struck me odd that such a young tiny person is one of the best,if not the best, in women's pickleball :)))

I hit backhand flicks that amaze my opponents...the problem is that i'm amazed myself when i do it because it's pure reflex,not something that i think about doing or practice...it could be because i'm a lefty and most of my opponents don't expect it :)))

Same. Some even say it’s my signature shot.

You said it,us lefties need to stick together :)))

You won't have time to change grip. You can roll your wrist and forearm if you want that angle.

Disagree, you cannot be offensive without changing grips.

60 seconds is too short. Show more examples hitting the shot. Then when to use and not use. You’re the best!
