Also,in open play it’s very common. I feel the stronger players do it to end the game quicker. I’m usually the target- but since I’ve been improving some of the stronger players are getting a little surprised 😂

Yes it happens sometimes in rec play where I play

Is the toss serve legal?

The Sport of the Living Dead.

Gotta know your opponents tendancies. Ive been beat down tye line covering middle many time. So pick your poison. Id rather help cover middle and give up a little bit of line hopefully your opponent isn't a good shot and hits it wide. If your range is good you can cover both line and middle

She didn’t mention tossing the ball upwards. I always thought that was illegal

I am new to pickleball and did a few searches to understand the scoring vs position of the players. I have looked at a few videos and it wasn't totally clear how it works after having seeing them. Your video is perfect to teach us that. Thanks!

I have to agree with the other commenters. The video clips do not illustrate the points you are trying to teach, although they do illustrate other worthwhile things. The first clip does not show the non-hitter moving forward looking for opportunity. What is does show is Tony respecting the X, moving aggressively to attack a short return, hitting it at the moving player, and being alert for the opportunity to keep the pressure on, finally putting the 5th shot away. Tony's partner moved forward with him and then toward the right side as he moved left, and might have been in position to handle a 6th shot to the side Tony just vacated. The returner's partner seemed to be overwhelmed by the speed at which the play developed. As her partner hit the 4th shot she turned her attention to the spot that Tony just left. When the 5th shot came, it was from a place she wasn't expecting and she turned back just a bit too late. It all starts with the return of serve.

An I throw the ball UP on a VOLLEY serve before I hit it? Assuming I still hit it below the waist and upward motion and all that. Like, can I toss it up to my head level as long as I smack it upward below my waist?

The start was confusing. I thought that both servers had the chance to serve.

How is your back after the game?

I'm confused. Your video example (at 2:30) did not reflect your explanation. Additionally if the player who hit the 4th was skilled, she would have put that 4th in the open court to her left

What did I miss. Your pro example showed the player that hit the third beat their partner to the net and finish the point. You said the partner that didn’t take the third was supposed be first to the net. It wasn’t exactly a “pro” second shot either. He barely made it half way up before the third was hit.

Not sure I agree. If you’re a pro and they hit the perfect drop they will play a defensive shot. If it’s not perfect and you move forward they will roll volley it between the gap

taking a dink out of the air. mistakes could be overstretching, could be hitting with deadspots on the paddle, or even could be popping the ball up.

Good tip

New to the game. Is there a limit on how many points in a row a certain server can get? Like what if you keep winning your serve?

I will to watch this video twice. pickleball scoring may be "easy" ... but it CERTAINLY is not as easy to understand as ping pong or tennis. It's VERY complex compared to either of those two.

This is gold. Pickleball is crazy with unsolicited advice. I considering switching back to tennis to get away from these people. :-)

Awesome instructions

Excellent tip. So hard to keep a light grip when you tense up during an extended rally.

Great advice! Thanks

Excellent advice thanks

Find a ladder league to play in. You will much more likely get equal players. As the stronger player, I avoid a lot of rec games unless I am feeling saintly patient that day.

I liked your format on this video! Great bonus tip about "letting ball go". My tip on bangers: when your at the kitchen line for their 3rd shot, and you know the drive is coming, widen your base and get real low in ready position, and you can judge the drive much better, and get out of the way when necessary or block it back onto their court.

What are your thoughts about backing up off the nvz when you see your opponent in front of you getting ready to attack/speed up a ball that is several inches above net level? I sometimes see pros backing off in these scenarios yet people at my club are telling people to never back up

One common mistake at the NVZ is a speed up to the opponent opposite your partner. If the opponent gets a paddle on your speed up, your partner is likely getting a hot ball hit at them.

I have found with better players if I am the player who is up and favoring the middle they will hit it to the gap I have created on the side which causes me to struggle to reach it.

Targeting always occurs in rec games ...always. People always claim they are playing for fun, but they actually want to win so they always go hard at the lower level player. That is the sheer reality of pickleball. If anyone tells you different they are lying.

I see targeting of the weaker player quite a lot. More so with lower level players. I guess winning is more important than getting hetter

One thing I have a problem with is not being able to tell or anticipate where the volley is heading until it's too late to get it. I'm about 6' 2" and it's hard for me to get way down to get under low hit shots.

Good and clear explanation! Scoring has made me frustrated:( but I learned a lot through this video. Thanks 😊

Thanks for this tip.

I love it when I get advice from the partner, usually male, sorry, who gives advice when he's missing easy shots. I had one to say, "Take it easy on her. She's still learning." Thanks dude who couldn't keep the ball in the court. We lost.

Best explanation I've heard !

Did you guys switch from 1st to 2nd server? If so, Why? 😳 It has to be practicle & I need to understand why before I can grasp something.

C'est faux ! Au début c'est 0 0 2

Great advice for life as well

No

Footwork drills make great warm ups@

Yes, there is targeting in rec play where I play. It is usually me who gets targeted when I play with my partner and/or partners who are better than me. My partner and I have an agreement that it is fine to get big like Tony did as a means to fight back. Thanks for the informative video.

Targeting definitely happens in rec play. Some people can't handle losing 😂

For sure it happens but as mentioned in rec play you have to ask your partner if it is OK to come over and "pouch" to keep in the game. If not, you are going to take a loss and you have to live with it. Either that or look for more competitive games where the levels are are bit more even. I have agreements with several friends that if we get a significantly weaker partner the stronger player won't be frozen out of game play. Those games are closer. Even when in a losing situation we appreciate that the opposition took the higher ground and made sure that there was a reason for the stronger player to be out there.
