Thank you Rick. I always appreciate your kind comments.

Great analysis! Moving forward to meet the serve on return is so critical, and keeping balance through contact with the ball makes it tricky; balance is everything right? So lackadaisical coming in for the volley here, that's ok to be there on S&V but c'mon mate get closer to the net! Some solid lessons here to impart into everyone's game no matter their level. Cheers!

Cant wait to try this lesson out. I never had a strategy before (only a feeling which was often not making sense).

Great analysis Thanks for the strategies explanations you teach for many years !

You have a gift in explaining and teaching! Thank you! I see you have so many excellent videos and I have hard time finding them from the big pool of videos. Could you add them in playlists for easy search and view? For example, there are only 3 videos in the singles strategy playlist but there are so many more in your channel! I want to watch them all but I get lost sometimes. Thank you!

great video, learned alot keep up the good work

Thanks for that high quality content!!

This analysis is amazing for a beginner! How much I'll retain is another thing ;) But I figure if I watch these videos a couple of times and play more matches I'll gradually start putting into practise. Thanks so much, great videos!

Thank you for your short, simple and objective videos. It would also be interesting to make some videos on warm-up, stretching, physical preparation, injuries, rest and nutrition, since a player who does tournaments has to eat at different times of the day, depending on what time he plays.

REALLY GREAT ANALYSIS. OPENED MY EYES.

Is moving forward into a serve also helpful to compensate for using a shorter backswing on the return?

On returning deep in the middle I have found that not to work on serve-volley players. Then you have to return on their feet or like a passing shot.

hey Ryan thank you so much for this video!!! just a suggestion but if you like could you make a video on the wrist lag/snap if you do have a video on it can someone please send me the link. again thank you so much!!!

I hope Ryan answers you, but may I suggest something to you in the meantime? I'm shorter than you - I'm in a WHEELCHAIR - and the one thing I've learned after joining The Short Club (I used to be 6 ft.) is TOPSPIN. Learn how to spin your shots so they bend in, especially SERVES. (Wait, do you serve underhand in P-ball?) Honestly, I don't think being short(er) is such a handicap in Pickleball, but you should learn your spins anyway. You can spin a ball in any direction to make the ball curve and bounce differently. I would ask your question on a P-ball channel, however, because I think there are significant differences between our games. Good Luck, sir!

I was so nerd in tennis. But this channel just changed my gameplay. From serve to tactic shots. Thanks you so much sir 💓😊

Its wowwwwww🎉

USC player is Tracy Austin's son, right. Not sure what year this is but I watched the dual between USC and UCLA when he was playing

Hey Ryan, big fan of your work and advice keep it up ! I tried the birthday hat technique but i find myself hitting the ball with the frame, do you know what would cause that ? or I should send you a video ! Thanks again

You mean you're framing the ball at the point of contact (POC), yes? But where, at the tip, throat, one side consistently? Sounds to me like you're just misjudging the ball. How many times did you try it, it takes a while to get used to a new technique. May I (humbly) suggest you try shadow swings at a relaxed speed until it doesn't feel awkward and you don't have to think about it. Then *focus on the ball* more when you try real serves and *keep your focus at the POC* after the ball leaves until the service motion brings you down/forward into the court. That last thing (keep looking at the POC) made a *tremendous* difference to my game. You should try to do this on all strokes, groundies, serves, and volleys. When I'm able to do it, my contact is squeaky clean and the ball just JUMPS off my strings, with pace and spin like I've never known before. I _really_ recommend it - but be patient, it's quite difficult to master. Take heart, however, every time you DO do it, it will help. *A lot!* Best of luck to you, my friend.

@@JamesDavisakaRemguy Hey thanks for the answer, you're right, I was framing a the begining but afterwards I started to feel and comprehend how it works but it takes time. I think changing the technique at first and not looking at the POC was the main issue for me but now it's better. I'm still improving my serve but I know I can get there. Thanks again !!!

Moving up to the net, to the same side, giving the opponent equal possibilities of a passing shot down to the line or across, I would give away the controll of the game. It would be a more advanced tactic to open him the down line and close the cross side, before he hits the ball, and anticipate his stroke down the line. He may expect you to anticipate, and hit it across any way. Not expecting that you stay at the cross line, and finish easily. Just like soccer goalkeeper at the penalty, they open one side further, to tell the striker you better strike to the larger side, but then the striker thinks, oh, he will anticipate to the larger side, so I better kick to the shorter side, but the GK has a secondary strategy, and anticipates to the shorter side, because that is the side he will easier reach the ball in any case.

Ryan, I've heard lesser teachers than you (that's everyone, BTW) say this about staying in tight to the net, i.e. close to the net, but how close? I know it probably varies depending on the point, the opponent, one's feeble and faltering - in other words, AGING - reflexes & eyesight, but could you give us a range? It seems that you (and those lesser guys) want us really, REALLY close! I want to get into my opponent's HEAD, I don't want to be standing inside the guy's SHORTS! Well okay, Rafa's cute and all, I can always make an exception, but you know what I mean? How close is "close to the net"? Should we be able to TOUCH the net with our rackets? One step and touch the net? Give us a hint, as specific as you can make it. Thank you!!

The only thing I dont agree is the approach slice, it wasn’t good. It didn’t move the opponent and was just too high, the ball didnt stay low ( which is the reason you approach with slice). The guy in red could pass that ball 10 out of 10 times lol. The approach didn’t need depth, just to stay lower I think

Agreed. Red has time to step back and hit the ball at a comfortable height. I think that's the key takeaway - what your opponent looks like at contact is an indicator of how good your shot was. If the approach had been a lot faster red would have had to hit on the rise, or if it was lower like you say, red would have to hit up which is much harder.

Me too, I agree! The problem is we call everything 'slice' when they're really two distinct shots: the fast, attacking slice (that stays low) and the slow, floating defensive slice (that resets the point). The latter is what the UCLA guy came in on, when he should have used the former, as you say. Once you learn to anticipate the weird bounce, hitting a heavily-sliced floater is like hitting a base/softball off a tee. Still, it was a nice pass, it just would have made the highlight reel if he had been sprinting for the far corner and hit a banana shot from outside the net post... (Some people are hard to please, eh?)

Third!

9th :)

should have come to the net on the 3rd shot or even 5th shot of the rally when his opponent was off-balance,instead, he came in on the 7th ball off a slower floating ball, coming to the net is best when the opponent doesn't have time to prepare the passing shot...........
