Tanner is the best pickleball guru on youtube

I drill like it's a game, and try to play games like I'm drilling. This elevates my drilling so that I drill with intention. Then during games I try to bring the tension down to drilling level.

I figured most of this out myself. I'm always wanting to tell my partner to just hit the ball low and into the middle whenever we get off to a bad start by trying to do too much, but it's not a message which seems to get much traction.

Good luck🍀 I hope you can make pickle ball a full time career. You explain everything so well and so passionately. I’ve learned so much from you…thank you! 🙏🏻

[linsu]

Thank you so much Tanner for your informative videos ... no fluff, just helpful insights. I watch every single one of your videos, save and re-watch them. You've helped me become a better player. Good luck with your own pickleball journey too. You deserve to be successful.

So relatable. As a 3.0-3.5 player I get 3 good dinks in then I try aiming too much and hit the net. Gonna try this. Thanks Tanner!

[philc]

This is so helpful. I’ve struggled with this forever. Great content as always Tanner!

I think your suggestions of dink to the middle and drive at 70% to start matches are great. Thank you. Nerves are a big part of tournament play. Like to said, middle dinks don’t cross it front of anyone. Good luck with your professional pickleball goals Tanner. You have helped so many with your videos.

[DannyBPlays]

I like the sentiment of this but the impatient players are usually still good enough that their speedups will land in so it seems like it needs to be a combo of give a consistent dink and then prepare the paddle for defense. Ben Johns's defense/counters are such a marvel to watch, he basically lets them force it and then punishes them

[acarter]

Good lesson. The mental part is huge.

[dizaciousz]

The switch in my brain flips after two dinks 😂 Working on it though 😅

In tennis we always talked about drilling shots and situations. You’ll see well trained players come out ahead in tournaments because your training takes over.

I love your videos and learn so much more from you and your teaching style Thank you

[robertwray]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! All the best your way!!

[HardDriver]

Thank you. I've really struggled getting nervous in league play recently. Even though I am roughly the same level as the other players, I make so many mistakes. I don't recognize my own game and I leave feeling a bit sad, even if I won the match. Hearing you say this happens to you too makes me feel better and helps me realize and understand it's just nerves. I know I can fix it.

[jcprelg]

Looks like you're in the bracket at PPA ATL, right? Good for you, and best of luck! Thanks for all the great content.

[JournaloftheScotts]

Also really believe in not playing the same folks and ability to feel things out can really help. Agree 100% let them get behind trying to highlight reel.

[wadejensen]

Excellent advice. I get off my game really easy lately, it seems as if everyone i play wants to crush the ball at the kitchen like we're playing tennis. ANNOYING.

[nelmsbros.]

Hi Tanner! I've recently taken up pickleball after a life long passion for paintball. I recall you mentioning in one of your vids that you had played some high level paintball. It made me think back to an episode of PTG where i remember hearing Marcello mentioned a player he was coaching who had massive potential making a shift from paintball to pickle. Would that happen to be you?

[luc]

Just basic, but solid advice. Your passion for the game is apparent from your videos. Best of luck to you.
