Another thing to note and observe in the videos is the pro(s) holding the shot a bit longer until they see which side their opponent is committed to cover or poach. Then, they hit at their target. Takes practice and definitely an advanced skill.

subscribed!!! great visuals and explanations! Kudos

Love your instruction.

Love the drills. Thanks😊

Thank you. Very concise and to the point.

Great job.

Excellent video! Would you happen to be making a video focusing on how to prep for kitchen battles/techniques to use to keep fast paced rallys in play?

Nice video!

Great video. Thank you. I Think your compact follow through will put you in a better position to respond if the ball comes back to you.

Impressive breakdown of the backhand speed-up! Mastering this shot can truly be a game-changer. Imagine the finesse and power you could achieve with an Oliver-Sport paddle. Deadly indeed!

Great camera angles and match play examples for blueprinting this valuable attack shot- thanks for the effort and please keep the superb content coming!

Thank you so much for your feedback! It means so much to have you apart of this community! Please let me know if you have any other video suggestions, would love to make content you guys are interested in!

Excellent, thanks. I slowed the vid down at points, and something else I noticed is where your eyes focus and go to ... first on the ball as it travels into the paddle, but then just as you are abou tto hit, your eyes shift to location down the court / your target.

I really like the clarity of your instructions!- You are easy to understand- both in content and how you speak. Just one feedback - I wish your name was on the title. I saw the name of your website, but I would like to know your name without having to work too hard to find it.

Your classes are amazing and so well detailed. Thank you for what you do. Love watching. 😊

@@Allthingspickleball You're welcome. Actually, there is a video I'd love to see that, as far as I know, no one has done before. I'd love to see an instructional video on how to do a powerful topspin serve, but done from multiple angles and in slow motion. I really need to see the angle and trajectory of the paddle as it hits the ball. That would be super awesome! Thanks in advance🙏🏾

Excellent instruction, thank you!

Fantastic video, Danea! Love the multiple angles and the breakdown of the form/positioning, and spots to aim! I come from a racquetball background, so I’m learning to use the two-handed backhand for my drives, dinks, and drops. I really appreciate the explanation of some different follow-through options as well. I’ve wondered that watching the pros do some different things.

Thank you so much for your comment & for watching! So cool you come from racquetball, there’s so many good pickleball players I know that have previously played racquetball. And yes, pickleball is crazy… so many ways to accomplish different shots! It can be kind of confusing! I’m glad this was helpful ☺️

@@AllthingspickleballI love the variety of shots in pickleball…racquetball is a much flatter, pretty-much-always-hard-shot type thing. I’ve been taking lessons with Glen for the last seven months or so, and a LOT of our work has been on topspin! I’m loving the process! Hope to see you around Orlando at some point!

I will have to try this out tomorrow, great video

Great video… it’s also worth noting the foot position of both highlighted players. They align the toes of both shoes to aim an invisible line toward where they’re going to hit. This allows the best mechanics for optimal delivery on offense. But on defense (if you’re fast enough to recognize this positioning) this can be used to predict their shot direction.

Awesome video! Is it possible to do the topspin backhand speed-up if you have a one-handed backhand?

@thuynh8421

Yes, It works well for me.

I come from a tennis background where I would try to hit every forehand possible. The switch to PB has shown me my 2H BH is better than my forehand (weird, right?). So when I first heard the intro of the video - I realized this after my first 4.5 league matches - no one likes their BH (haven't met one yet). Thanks for this Danea! Really need to add this to my game. Most peeps still go at my BH even tho it's my strong side. Just used your Selkirk code, thanks again for these lessons! I'm a new subscriber!

My one handed BH roll volley and flick are much better than my FH side. I come from tennis with a 2HBH but also played table tennis and racquetball.

Great video! I have one question. I’m a Squash (5.0) player and Just learned how to play PB, by the end of the night I was beating everyone at the courts, a lot of people were using two handed backhands like you showed but it seems really awkward to me. Is it something I’ll have to learn if I want to progress??

If you watch the pros, they are all leaning to hit with 2 hands if they don't already. It's good to have both shots for different situations, especially at the kitchen.

Great, helpful video. BTW, Lacey's last name is SchneeMAN.

Pickleball is America's fastest-growing sport and we like it #Pickleball

Good point on your dominate hand just being used to guide the paddle. I’ve come to the same conclusion and now just hit a forehand from the opposite side. Lots easier to just switch hands than putting two hands on the paddle and regripping. Also, allows me to stretch much farther to my offhand (backhand side).

Lethal? Well, I've never killed anyone with my backhand, but I'll keep trying. Thanks for the tips.

Hit the ball on the apex? Looks like you hit it just as the ball is descending

@douglasmurdoch7247

7 ай бұрын

The moment the ball hits its apex, it will start descending. That’s what apex means. It means the highest point. If something is reaching its highest point, it won’t be going any higher. And because of gravity, as soon as something is done going higher, it starts going lower. So the moment of the apex, and the moment that the ball begins descending are directly adjacent.

Apex or defending/decelerating- apex is best because it gives you the best angle to Attack!

Hit the ball at the highest point you can comfortably take it. Much easier to clear the net.
