Great video. I watched this a long time ago when I was first learning. But then just rewatched and oh my goodness -- yes! I forgot so much important info from this video!

[smitty]

I just started learning Pickleball. This is a great way to start.

9 out of 10 dinks for me are long. It is a very delicate balance between overshooting and hitting the net. Annoying as hell. You make it look sooo easy. Great video.

[mckinleyrm]

Very well explained and demonstrated 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

1. Continental grip
2. Consistent stroke (short swing path in front)
3. Use your legs
4. Net clearance (1 to 1.5 feet)
5. Hit into the kitchen

[drewevans]

Good video and great tips. However, it would have been better if you listed all those tips are the end.

[seancoffey]

Listen I see the ball but when do we use the pickles do we throw them at each other or the winner eats one?

[maryhurst]

Appreciate your style of instruction. I teach Beginners and Intermediates. I always have my newbies watch this video.

1) The Grip
Continental handshake
2) Swing Path
Low to High
consistent motion
take ball in front of body
short Back swing
short follow through
3) Use your legs
get low to the ball
move your feet
4) Net Clearance
significant margin over net
5) Hit it in the Kitchen
limits opponents offensive opportunity

Great info! Use 1.5 speed, most things are repeated, you won’t miss anything.

@ 6:25 the old lady on the background disappear.😂😆

[ThomasNemo]

What are your thoughts on trying to put a backspin on a dink to make it more difficult to return? Thanks

[TanmayBhide]

The small tennis like step at legs - doesn’t that waste energy, especially on a speed up you might be caught in between doing that step and standing on the balls of your feet

[pauliesspamhole]

The next tome ypu shake hands with someone, look down and notice your eastern forehand grip.

[chriscasner]

Please summarize the points at the end.

[ernestorincon]

Wait, you translated “Dink” as “drink” in Spanish JAJAJAJAJAJAJ

[andykornkven]

maybe reduce your use of the word 'guys'

If you can't stand the heat, GET YOUR ASS OUT THE KITCHEN.
