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.

I taped my whole sunroom off to make it one side of the pickleball court. Here is the kitchen line, here is forehand middle. This is what you call a bad case of the Mondays. Your obvious next question “why did I do this?”. I did this because me and my father has gotten a huge argument being why I didn't have a video out yesterday? What were we arguing about this? So I'm thinking they bring me out to backhand out wide. The question is do I keep getting back to the middle? Do I get back to the middle, or do I stay out wide and let my partner have backhand middle? What I told Mark was I'd much rather have my partner have back here middle so I don't get as tired going back and forth all the time. What do the pros do? The pros get back. They get back because that footwork is so good. My footwork isn't great. This just happened Friday, and this was a super intense match. We put it out that morning. This is an illustration of what not to do, and this is what so many tennis players do! I go out wide, I'm in the near left-hand corner in the blue tank. Third time out wide, fourth time out wide. I'm literally getting exhausted dinking I should be staying out wide on that box taking the ball out of the air, and I'm not! I'm literally going crazy watching this film today, and I'm happy. I'm huffing and puffing, look at me. I'm not in bad shape, NOT the best. To help you spend less time going out wide is to put a cone on the left hand side of the service box. And if you're drilling outside try to take that ball before the cone. So say the cones up, you want to take it out of the air as much as you can, and obviously you're going to go cross court with that, and really focus on cutting the ball off. So you don't constantly run out wide. Obviously, I should have cut the ball off, I should have cut it off, I wouldn't have had to run as much, but the point I'm trying to make is a lot of 4.0s, 4.5s, 5s don't do that. Basically, I'm saying stay out wide if you're not cutting the ball off, let your partner have backhand middle. Do you agree with Mark or me? I don't know what's the best grammar. Guys and ladies, thank you so much for watching! Let me know what you think. It was a heated argument. Have a good day!
