One of the very best videos I’ve watched. So packed fill of detailed yet clear and executable instructions. Thank you

Wow, thank you! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for subbing ❤️

You have quickly become one of my favorite and go-to channels for PB instruction. It's the "just right" amount of information. Clearly communicated and you don't treat the viewer like we're morons. Well done....

Outstanding! Best video I have seen on this topic by far. If only everyone could teach like this! Could you comment on the grip pressure for a one handed attacking backhand volley?

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the sub. Keep it as loose as possible without it flying out of your hand. It’s the same with a reset 👍

The two grips and the bubble make so much sense -- something finally clicked for me. I need to rewatch this before my next class!

Great video! Really insightful that tension gets brought up. Tension is what I call the silent killer of energy. You lose so much energy so fast because the body needs to compensate to withstand the muscle tension. Part of my background is mma/boxing, so tension or lack there of is engrained into our habits. You don’t ever hear too many people in pickleball talk about tension relating to ready position and fatigue. Great video, but thought the tension point was gold.

Yeah that’s a great point. You’re quicker when you’re relaxed. You lose power when you’re tense!

@@pickleballplaybook yeah sustained tension is all around a bad idea. Cool to see someone touched on it because a lot of people know tension is bad because it can cause certain shots to pop up. People don’t realize what sustained tension overall is doing to the body.

I think I could have eliminated about 1000 KZread pickeball videos that I watched with this ONE . Great presentation on critical PB topics. I have never seen or read any reference to the position of the trigger finger with an eastern grip. Thanks.

Great video. Austin knows how to explain PB technique really well. I know you’re busy, but could you do a video on how to line up players about to drive the ball? Is it watching their paddle, watching shoulder rotation, is it positioning defense on angles? I’m confused and discouraged beyond belief because I’m such a sucker on D !

New player here. Very nice video for sure. I keep learning more every day and slowly improving. All I can hope for. Well, hoping for that and these old bones to stop aching because I'm running around the court like a wildman still at my age, hahaha.

Can you still do two handed with a continental grip?

@pickleballplaybook

Ай бұрын

Definitely!

Great details! Like the reference to the pros and how they hit and their ready position. Are you saying you hold an Eastern forehand grip for your two-handed backhand ? Just want to make sure, because there is an Eastern Backhand grip too, and you just say “Eastern grip” not Eastern Forehand grip”

@pickleballplaybook

I use eastern forehand full time. For both forehand, one handed backhand and two handed backhand!

Thanks Much! I would have never thought to try that, such great videos! Keep them coming!

I'm also Eastern grip with two-handed backhand. Do you stay Eastern for overhead smash or switch to Continental?

@pickleballplaybook

Ай бұрын

I actually switch to continental for overheads so I can pronate through and get the ball down more effectively! Does that make sense?

@miatafunrun3078

Ай бұрын

Yes makes sense and that is what I was thinking (switching to Continental) when watching your overhead video the other day.

@pickleballplaybook

Ай бұрын

It’ll help! But do what’s most consistent and comfortable for you!

I would still use continental grip with a 2 hander

@pickleballplaybook

Ай бұрын

The forehand suffers with continental. The backhand suffers with eastern. (unless you have a two hander) You can definitely hold continental with a two hander, your forehand just won’t be that strong cause if the angle of the paddle 👍

You should have the bubble pop and have smoke come out.

Well hell.....looks like I've been holding my paddle wrong for 6 months, guess I need to re-learn how to hold it now.
