    Regarding max speed of 65-70 mph, this worries me especially if the random modes deliver at these speeds. I would prefer a LOCK-OUT setting where the ball would NEVER be delivered faster than the MAX SET SPEED in the App no matter what drill you are using. I really would hope the apps have this safety feature.

    Nice video! I'm looking at both of these machines. Regarding the battery charge on Titan you should probably charge everyday od use. According to Titan as the battery charge decreases so does the accuracy. It might not loose accuracy until lower than half charge but I think if I had one I'd keep it fully charged as much as possible. It's great that the Titan battery is a standard 18V Power Drill battery you can get at a hardware store

    i wonder if you got the highest spin paddle on the market, and perfected this technique i wonder what the greatest combination of speed and height would be. physics would dictate it, it is calculable. I just want to know. I am gonna ask Chat GPT one second... it was pretty crazy, it made this whole python code and ran all these simulations - i don't think it is right though haha, this is what it came up with: *Optimal Serve Parameters:* Based on the simulation results, the optimal parameters for your pickleball serve are: *Initial Speed:* 10.7 m/s (approximately 23.94 mph) *Launch Angle:* 10 degrees *Initial Height:* 1 meter (waist height) *Top Spin:* 2141 RPM *Height at Highest Point:* 62 inches (so less than 2 nets) *Ball Speed when it hits the ground:* 22.48mph *Ball Spin when it hits the ground:* 2141 RPM These parameters should allow you to achieve a serve that is fast, high, and lands at the desired distance with maximum top spin. What do you think? does that sound right? to me it sounds like a very slow serve that doesn't even go that high above the net? dang - we need to get these Ai models out on the courts ASAP

  • @pickleballplaybook
    @pickleballplaybook2 күн бұрын

    That actually sounds right haha! Cause a net length above the net will get it deep enough. Not too sure on the speed though. I feel like you could aim lower and hit harder and get the same result. Pretty cool it can do that though!

    I love (receiving) this serve. I almost always win the point. Its really not a good serve against anyone that has reasonably good agility. Its so telegraphed as well... Does anyone NOT recognize it before it comes off the paddle?!? In almost all cases, it lands shorter and allows me a more aggressive return and an even shorter trip to the NVZ. On rare occasion, one can hit a deep one to the backhand from the AD side that can add pressure, but its simply not worth it overall. Use it once or twice per match at most and only if your opponent is really cheating on your normal serve and/or sleeping.

    12:35 you can also work to re-position your opponent by dinking to their forehand, then lob over their backhand. If they’re slow getting back into position, a lob over their backhand will be more effective, especially if you can take the ball out of the air, because their momentum will be going sideways as the ball is going over their head.

    5:37 I’ve heard you can bait people into hitting closer to the sideline by waiting a moment before sliding over to cover the line, like in a cross court dink. By waiting closer to the middle, your opponent subconsciously feels like the line is more open, but you’ll be ready to jump the kitchen for the Erne.

    I have some similar experiences with the Sketchers and Nike and that they are my favorite for comfort and keeping my feet feeling good. My Ascics hold up well for durability and I use as my Dailey grinders and keep my Nike's for tournaments. I do like the Nike's for singles as well, since they offer good lateral stability with their rubber design. My Adidas are good but Don't last very long, so I'm veering away from purchasing more of them in the future!

    Great serve he has! He reminds me of Tyson whereas some of their serves are really, really close to being illegal with the paddle being above the wrist at the point of impact. I'm sure players trying to imitate them will make some service faults, but no one will be able to prove it because it happens so fast and there are no highspeed video cameras at the courts.

    Bombing serves is the "easy part". As a tennis player, I use a closed stance, a large windup (backswing), put everthing I've got into the shot to hit 60 + MPH pickleball serves (radar gun). The ball whistles audibly through the air as it barely clears the net and lands just inside the baseline too. However, what PP doesn't mention is the "hard part" of achieving say 95+% consistency rate. Using a ball hopper, I've hit 1000s of practice serves. During game play, I've got to psychologically prep and concentrate to hit these type of serves IN. Overall though, a mixed approach is better for winning more points. Hit different placement, speed, trajectory, spin serves, then occasionally hit the fast ball for perhaps cheaply won points.
