Zane’s on Cameo!!

I'm starting to like ZaneN more and more. Such great information, shared at no cost to the masses. A big thank you to ZNP
Keeping it simple and a good reminder to get back to basics.
Best advice to take me to the next level....no one has ever made it so easy to understand..thank you
I've struggled with my paddle placement and have watched so many videos to try and feel comfortable with where my paddle should be. This tip is the best ever. I can see it in my head when I am on the court. Zane does such a great job breaking it down and keeping it simple. The first time I played after watching it, I felt my paddle placement and volleys improved 100%. Thank you Zane!!
Wonderful idea on vertical paddle position & practicing return to position in 3 modes of drill. Great instructional format!
Thank you for posting this very helpful video!!
So good, going to use this in my class.
Thanks Zane for that tip . This will help to improve my game . A huge thank you ! Good luck on your future in pickleball!
Thank you! I am a self-taught player and watch a lot of videos looking for great advice, this one is the one that gave me the real ah ha moment, thank you again!
New to the game. Very helpful! Thanks
"Ohhhh yes" is what I said at the 2:21 mark! That's great and going to be teaching that from now on! Thanks for yet again.... another great tip!
And now that I'm watching the rest of the video, I'll be using the 3:53 edge tip, too!
Great tip Zane, so simple Thanks
Love this video!!
Thank you!
This is brilliant
I will try this today.
thanks Zane
Thank you Zane. Your videos are always funny and instructive. Continue like this. 0:02 Could you make a video on split step? I always forget to get to it.
This really hit home abt the 4:21 mark. Excellent. Thank you ZN!!!
4:21 that's me all the time! Never knew why or how to stop it
This is a great training tool
Good idea.
Really clever way to train the brain. Gonna force my friends and my wife to do this tomorrow.
Great tip, thank you! 👌
good advice
good one
Good video
thanks for the tip, I will try it out tomorrow in our dupr session
does that work for one handers like tyson too?
Hi Zane, thank you for the tip. But if you watch your other videos and other pros at the game, they dont hold it with side showing. Is it because you or them have faster reaction times than us ?
Zane how many over grips do you use ?
Seen so many videos with nice thumbnails and no substance. This is a very concise video with great tips.
What paddle are you using Zane?
Shout out to the pickleball pigeon! He's awesome.
Good stuff. I had my paddle facing or pointing to my opponent, so I look forward to utilizing this.
i'm kind of curious, what is the standard grip for while being at the net in pickleball? in padel or tennis we mainly keep to continental grip but it kind of look like you are using some variation of a forehandgrip while you are at the net.
I used the ball tap at first and now just use my left hand sometimes instead of a ball to set up my ready position. You took most shots low and your ready position seemed quite high (almost out ball area). In most pro play, their paddles seem about waist (belly button) height. Would you please clarify?
I’m in a problem that has totally shifted my game of pickleball and looking for other opinions.
My hand battle stance is the opposite of everyone else’s and I’ve developed my game into a successful technique with it.
While everyone has their knuckles facing their opponents at the kitchen line, my are facing the opposite way but I’ve managed to turn this into a strength of mine that ppl say is good.
But I had a coach tell me it was entirely off….but now it’s throwing off my game trying to change my technique again. Should I bother trying the orthodox way of holding my paddle at the kitchen or continue my unorthodox method, which like I said has been very successful for me.
Awesome advice. Please visit me when your in the DMV area.
great tip, ty zane! what paddle is luke using? btw still waiting for the drilling video with benny 🤪
Looks like Joola Scorpeus. Anna bright or Collin Johns
yea thats what im thinking too@@Ecsye
Why does the ball not hit the same every time i hit the ball? Sometimes it bounces as it it bounced off mush instead of a hard paddle
How cool would it be to drill with a pro!?!
What ball machine do you recommend?
I’ve been using the Lobster for years. Most features and cost effective. Zane5 code saves you a bit of money!
JW Johnson needs to watch this video! But he is still one of the best players in the world!
Since over 75% of your shots are played with your backhand, why not have your paddle already in that ready backhand position?
Because a good opponent will pick out that you're ready backhand and lacking forehand. He/she will cash in on the other 25% that you're not prioritizing.
I have paid that price and good players are now targeting my forehand side and it causes me to have a nasty chicken wing. This is a great video!!
Lots of pros use a diff ready position. Some low. Some high. I think the key lesson here is... get to it, make it consistent.
Super video
hmmm for that person who said “genius” that’s the standard tennis ready position. Like in boxing, always have your guards up.
So is the spot your twelve o'clock position then??
Very hard to break bad habits!
So I literally had someone stop play to show me how high I should have my paddle while at the kitchen. Essentially what you are saying in your video. It was as annoying as hell (unsolicited unknown know it all player/coach wannabe) but I digress.
So I went home and watched the two best doubles players in the world for a few matches. Their ready position is no where near where you are saying along with most pros. In fact they are low around the belly button which is less movement to the lower dink and also straight in fire fights. And don't give the bologna of beginners vs pros. Tired of hearing how we shouldn't mimic the pros.
In addition I submit the video of your playing. Your ready position is not here (but slightly higher than the rest) along with the three other players: Matt Wright and Ben Johns vs Alshon and Navratil in the Semifinals! Collin is not in this video but he too has a lower ready position. Women pros tend to have a higher hold spot and my theory on this is they tend to be more coming from tennis where the double handed backhand is used more frequently and typically favor that hold position and possibly because they are typically shorter. Ben Johns will occasionally move to this higher two handed backhand position when he feels it will be needed. Wanna re-evaluate or explain your position (pun intended)?! :)
Don’t forget Zane’s height! He needs it a little higher!
@@mathewcoatney2409 lol
If you're not going to get hit in the face then sure bring your ready position lower. But don't you think it'll take a longer time getting to higher balls say shoulder height or higher? @clintroberts1
@@MRmrROro1 I'm not worried about getting hit in the face from direct on (off side of paddle or some other random way like from another court coming or from me not looking in that direction is more likely). Most balls are coming right over the net in a firefight or speed up and most dinking is down low. Doesnt make sense for me to be bringing the paddle up and down to my chin all the time while at the kitchen. Seems high and fast speed ups at shoulder level should be dodged anyway. I like to keep it in the middle of the lows and highs like I see the pros doing. I could be wrong but I'm just observing most all pro play here
The best in every sport do some things unorthodox because they can get away with it. Like great hand speed. Muhammad Ali held his gloves low and would lean back when opponents threw punches at him. Both are bad habits but his hand speed and reflexes( ability to process information) were so superior to average fighter he could make it work. Learn the best way and if you find some short cuts that work use them. Navratil is teaching the correct way for 98% of players out there.
