There are some pickleball tips and concepts that are just evergreen. You’ve probably heard them:
- Hit the ball at your opponents feet
- Always keep your paddle up in ready position when you’re at the kitchen
- Keep your eye on the ball
These are the classics. Instead for this video, I wanted to share some tips that could help you succeed immediately but also set you up for success over the long run.

Great video, some of those things i really didnt know. Can't wait to put them into practice with my Oliver-Sport paddle-hope it's going to make difference on the court. Thanks for sharing! 🏓💪
Adam,
Perfect lesson: Concise summary of points. Excellent videos to explain your points. Nice idea to fill in the blanks. Perfect season gift for all of us subscribers! Keep up the good work in the New
Year
Thanks Art! Have a great holiday season!
Excellent video! One thing that I wished I knew earlier, is to always keep at least a slight bend in your knees which you did consistently.
Thanks for watching and sharing! That’s a great reminder
I was never told how painful "pickleball elbow" could be if I used a death grip. Holding the paddle losely made all the difference not only with my elbow pain but with the higher accuracy of my shots.
Great point. I’ve seen and experienced pickleball elbow. I’ve also seen how one finger on the paddle can cause pain in the arm/elbow.
Oh absolutely, so I don’t want to go into detail with it if you already know what pickleball elbow is at its core physiologically. I learned from tennis elbow but it’s tendon inflammation. So giving a death grip will force the tendon to flex incredibly hard. Along with being super painful, it’ll have no zero chance to heal. It’ll only stay that painful, but possibly get worse.
I transitioned to pickleball from tennis about 5 weeks ago. I will say though pickleball is so much easier on the body. Way less impact on the joints. Pickleball elbow might be less painful. While I don’t want to find out, I’d be interested to know if I could still play if I’m ever in that situation. Tennis elbow is almost unbearable and only gets better with rest.
@@joshc.6706 There are ways you can intervene if you currently have tennis/golf elbow. A combination of rest, ice, compression, and elevation is usually the first step, but then if you see a physical therapist, they can give you some exercises to strengthen/align the necessary areas. Lastly, you could even try paddles like ProKennex that specialize in absorbing the shock of shots. These steps helped me. By the way, tennis elbow is on the outside (lateral) of your elbow and golfers elbow is on the inside (medial).
@@HighFivePickleball what do you mean with one finger on the paddle?
Relax your body relax your paddle. thank for such a great instructional video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the video! Thanks for the reminders.
You’re welcome - thank you!
Thank You … Great Video and Tips !!
Great video. The only other tip I would add is court positioning. When I was first introduced to pickleball, I would liked anyone to convince me to take a lesson on the basic fundamentals. I wouldn't have had to spend over a year breaking the bad habits I developed in the beginning.
Exactly, I still see this in advanced players. They don't want to move with you or cover a wide dink goes outside the court.
3 things I think about is court positioning, shot selection and not being afraid or to say caught off guard with a speed-up. I wish I'd had training early on those things
That’s a great point! Players can shorten the learning curve drastically if you do that. Thanks for the comment!
Love it! Thanks for the comment!
Como simpre muy buenos consejos. Los veo varias veces con traducción para asimilarlos bien y practicar luego. Gracias
Gracias!
Awesome 👏 tutorial. You really did a great job explaining. This will really help me
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent!
Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
I really like the way slo-mo is used here. Let's you really focus on the paddle movement.
Love it! That’s why I do it
Well done. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Great points.
Thank you!
It took a while to learn how important it is to get to the Kitchen Line. I learned by playing with better players.
Yep that’s one way to learn!
Staying back after serving and not running to the kitchen
Love it!
Squatting down and leaning forward with an under hand stroke on a return. I feel that’s the most effective way to return the ball.
That’s one way to do it!
@@HighFivePickleball Absolutely for sure🏁🏆🥳🎉
Coming from a tennis background, I wish I had known how hard it was initially to stay back after serving. I still tend to step in after my serve and get caught at times trying to hit a 3rd shot either at my feet or behind me.
It’s tough to unlearn some things but you’ll get it
Respect the X
Fore hand covers the middle? Is this true all the time?
It seems a lot of the times. However, it could be the player. :)
Your improved mechanics is exactly what I need to focus on:feet set before hitting (seems more accurate than a tennis split step), balance ( which needs an awareness including the arm), hit at apex, with ball in front, etc. I noticed some higher level players calling points and tracking the each other with the ball. It does make the game smoother. Thank you!!! Now, to put it into play. :))
It depends on the situation
Thank you so much!
I wish they would not have told me to hit the ball as hard as I wanted. This has led to a lot of unlearning.
It happens! Hang in there!
