This channel is dedicated to all the gold seeking Pickleballers out there who dink responsibly and stay out of the kitchen. We have all levels come through the channel, but we concentrate on the 4.0s, 4.5s and up to 5.5s.
I started this channel quite by accident, I was recording my games to do film study and get better. I did not have time or money for lessons from pro pickleball coach, so I started watching all my screwups. People that I was playing with started to ask if they could watch too and I said sure. That helped all of us a lot to improve our game, strategy, mental toughness, and techniques. Now we have new pickleball videos published several times a week. We occasionally have pro pickleball players on the channel. Mostly its non pro pickleball players on their quest to 5.0 pickleball. We have all levels come through the channel: 4.0 pickleball, 4.5 pickleball and up to 5.5 pickleball with the pros.

The birds are chirping. It is a beautiful Sunday. I hope you got to play some pickleball today. And if you hear a woodpecker pecking at the tree, you might think of a banger that you don't like. What are three tips to neutralize the banger in your life? Block with the paddle out in front of you. Look at Christina Bolton, she is a true 5.0 if not better. But she has a paddle behind her. It's almost at her stomach area. She does not have it out in front. If you look at her reaction, it's priceless! She knows exactly what she did. She's saying I need to have it out in front. Have the pedal out in front of you. This is what exactly what she does in this example: she hits it out in front, hits a winner and everything's good. She and Rich Lively celebrate. Probably go out to drinks after. Take a look at this next example of hitting the ball out in front of you. This is Rich Lively and Christina returns. He hits the ball out in front. Mark tries to bang, he hits a drive, but Rich puts it away. These are such effective tips to neutralize the banger in your life.
Tip number two to neutralize the banger in your life. This is me, I'm in the black shirt. Look how relaxed I am. I know you shouldn't be this relaxed. I'm being lazy. Bryan drives the third shot, I pretty much hit the fourth shot into the kitchen. The banger wants to bang the fifth shot. That's what he wants to do. And we win the point. Third thing you can do to neutralize the banger is to hit slice returns. Lofty returns with slice. That's exactly what Mark Napartovich is doing. He's in the red shirt. He's playing Ben Johns and Simone. He's hitting it deep with slice. It stays low, very tough to drive, and tough to drop too. They actually win this point. Maybe not the whole game. Look at Ben Johns’ slice. This whoever has played Ben Johns knows how tough it is to drive that third shot off that massive slice. It's a massive slice has so much spin. It's tough to drop that slice too. I'm telling you: this is so effective! To summarize: neutralize the banger block out in front of you. Have the paddle out in front of you. Don't have it at your waist. We saw that with Rich Lively and Christina Bolton. Thank you so much Rich Lively! The checks in the mail. Number two: relax your hands, drop the fourth shot into the kitchen. The banger's going to want to drive that fifth shot. I'm a banger, and I want to do it. You're gonna win points by dropping that fourth shot and letting that fifth shot go. The third thing is slice that return. It's going to be very tough for the banger to drive. Guys and ladies, I truly enjoy doing this. It gives me meaning in my life. Please subscribe, leave your comments. It really does mean a lot. I joke a lot but thank you so much! Have a great Sunday evening and a good Labor Day!
