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.

What I'm about to tell you will get panned by every single certified instructor in the nation, but I'm telling you, I've had good results in 5.0 tournaments, and I'm not the best dinker. You know, David. Now I will tell you that it is a fourth shot "cheat code", and it works. It works, it's the fourth shot "cheat code", and I'm really struggling at dinks. I just put that point up just to show you. I'm hitting dead dinks, I'm losing the game. I tell Cliff to switch meaning to poach, and this is when the opportunity presented itself at least in the clips I've seen. Mark hits a decent drop I stepped back and hit a hard forehand right at his sternum. The new paddles the top spin you can generate is insane. That ball was going way in. Mark had to hit it. Here's another example me and Ankush are playing Kyle Yates. We switch and this opportunity just presented itself again. This is Kyle Yates. This is not some bum on the street. Now it's best if disguised as a dink. I did not disguise it as a dink. I swung too hard. Kyle Yates usually wouldn't hit this, and look did I get lucky that point! Yeah but here's another point from the same game: me and Ankush switch, I do the same exact thing to Hercilio, who's a very good player, and I disguise this a little better as a dink. But look I need to perfect this shot, and is this an anomaly? I don't think so! I've done this in many matches against many 5.0s. You don't have to switch for this opportunity to present itself. That just happened. I hit a drop, and it wasn't a bad drop. David backed up. He plays with the Electrum E, puts a lot of spin. This is how pickleball is changing. So we have to adapt to be better players. This is just a great shot that's Cliff Pickleball (he is playing in the Pro in Orlando PPA Cup). He's a very good player! Let me summarize: use the "cheat code" if you're losing dinking wars. It's a great switch up if you have a paddle like an Electrum or an [Engage] Pursuit that puts a lot of spin. It's a highly effective shot. The shot is best if used on a switch or poach from the returning team. However we did see David now uses it effectively without switching. Thank you so much for watching! Have a good day and try the "cheat code". You know, if you're not the best dinker!
