The calling of faults requiring both to agree is odd. It’s rare for both players to actually be able to look for it, especially for things like the serve. I have called my own faults and partner faults, but when it’s the other team usually only one person sees it. I’m betting that rule gets undone pretty quickly.

@EnhancePickleball - Great video, but I think you were incorrect about one rule. You said that, if you see an opponent's foot fault (serve or NVZ):

"...you and your partner have to agree that they foot faulted. So the whole team has to agree that the opposing team foot faulted in order to get the replay."

I believe that the new rule says, that there can't be disagreement between the teammates on the potential fault call. Not being in disagreement is VERY different than requiring that both have seen the fault and be in agreement on the fault!

I would like to add that not all paddles that have the USAP stamp are approved "yet". A paddle has to be made with a stamp to get approval. So technically you can have a paddle that has the stamp and not be legal yet. Awesome video as usual.

Great video! Can anyone recommend a video source covering all rules? I need to take a rules test and I'm not good with reading and comprehending material, hearing it explained works much better for me. Thanks in advance for any help!

The game is changing. Less dinking and more power with spin is dominant in my circle

[tommykaira]

As a pickleballer myself, this game rule changes are getting more and more stupid. Umpires can't even make the decision to call out balls let alone enforcing these additional confusing rules.

[Branko]

The rule that needs changing since pickleball is supposed to be a gentleman’s or woman’s sport is the let serve rule. Pros play with a let rule on the serve and so should amateurs too to be consistent and fair! It seems dumb to have two different sets of rules.

Please clarify the fault rule. As I understood the rule Before, if I call a foot fault on my opponent, but they don't agree with my call, I had no recourse. Do I have that right?

Great video did not know a couple of these!

[eddieb]

Hey C., great job man...these rules are good to know. Especially the one about spectators and calling balls in or out. Much appreciated.

When you drop serve, is the ball required to bounce outside the court?

[voiceofreason]

What is the penalty for a fault serve? And in rec play, can the opponent call it?

[danielquinlan]

Under what foot faults would you replay the point?
7:44
opposing team footed in order to get the
7:47
replay this rule also adds that if any

[RCodyWanner]

that first one, "the hit the NVZ with your paddle and then hit the ball" i used to think that **was** legal, cuz it just made rational sense. Then I found out it was illegal - - so I am hyped that they changed it to what I would consider to be more logical

[Zaskar]

On foot faults, you mention if your partner disagrees. What if your partner didn’t see the fault because he was busy, you know, playing pickleball and was watching the ball?

I live in the UK and I have been playing for over 6 months now, it's great fun and I thank you for clearing up rules. Unfortunately I play on a Badminton court with the net lowered as there isn't any designated Pickleball courts near where I live.

foot fault rule: if the 2 teams disagree its still redo of the point correct?

[elvnprince]

Do you know if the usap is delisting any currently approved paddles to align with the new power cap? Thanks for this!

[hanxor]

Thanks for the update, big dawg - preciate you
