You are on your way to the top. That match vs the John's was amazing, one of the best matches of the year. Keep working - won't be long till the BH is a weapon.
Love the passion in this video! You don’t often get to see the bad along with the good times and this is so raw! You’re literally knocking on the door! 🫶
I notice that people play with heavier paddles in singles and lighter paddles in doubles. Makes sense, given that response time is more critical for doubles, and ground strokes are essential to singles. Does that mean players who aspire to be strong in singles AND doubles have to compromise on their paddles? Or master two paddles? I mean, this is your wand we're talking about. Christian you are doing spectacularly well. Don't ever let the grind of being a professional impact on your love of the game. Your love of the game is what will take you to the top. You are on the brink right now and it's great fun to watch.
Thank you for your time and posting. Congrats. IMO, you've really improved in the last year, I think MLP with Newman really changed your game. Best of luck. We are all tired of losing. But you have to lose to be able to win. It's all about patience and time. Today is yesterday's future, tomorrow is today's future. It's just time and time never stops. The more you focus on losing, the more you will lose. The more you focus on winning, the more you will win. Davefusious says. :) This video concentrated on losing, not winning. Just sayin'. :)
I’m more of a calm, even keeled player, but I still have the struggles inside. I’m sure Ben is scared for his future in singles and has had this conversation with himself recently. Write down on paper your win/loss ratio and think, wow, it’s actually improved insanely fast and steadily increasing
12:20 : If Pablo Tellez made vlogs after this past weekend. I really feel for you pro players, man. The peaks and valleys of competing at such a high level. I hope you all get the rest and recovery you deserve.
I've known you were gonna be number 1 since you first became pro, keep your head up mate and stay on the grind. Ben johns and company are a big mountain to climb but don't lose focus and the results will come.
Man, McDonald’s,chipotle, and Jimmy johns in one day. What does your weekly diet look like? If it is like that everyday I guarantee you that you are limiting yourself. You have the talent and making that diet adjustment might just be the push you need. No top athlete eats like that.
Yes indeed, I agree. Nutrition is the top priority to make the body function properly. He needs to watch Djokovic, the no. 1 tennis player's diet. ua-cam.com/video/qZYkUOUxAwI/v-deo.htmlsi=d0-mn8fl7gu8RaRc
You did great and look at the partners you are getting, you are the real deal! In time you will get to the top! If you need a men's dub partner let me know! haha. Keep up the great work Christian!
You're not losing, you're learning. Instead of competing, be entertaining and you will continue to gain fans regardless win or lose. Like Roger Federer, he doesn't always win but he still remains a legend to this day.
I’m sure you get this a lot but try not to take this too hard. When humans hunt for food we dont sprint after it as fast as we can we are endurance hunters that chase at a moderate pace until whatever we are hunting can no longer run away. We are the monkeys that never get tired so take that same mindset into trying to win. Yea losing sucks but this isnt a sprint to the top but a long grindy effort that you win by being the last man putting in effort when everyone else has quit. You’ve come so far so dont miss the view for the hike. Dont be so focused on racing to the end the ultimate goal that you lose sight of how incredible it is what you’ve done
The pain is real, the progress is too. Remember, margins are small. In tennis, "from 1991-2016 the average percent of points won in a season for the No. 1 player in the world is just 55%. That advantage does not seem big enough, especially because players that end up No. 1 in the world win around 90% of their matches. But it is. Tennis is a game of small margins, played over great distances...." pickleball is the same. We focus too much on the shots we don't make and need to dwell on the shot patterns we set up to win points. We all will not win many points each game, like almost 40% of them. It's just the math of close matches. You got this.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt
Patience, Christian. Your trajectory is steadily upwards. Your hard work has shown results. The matches you are losing now are in semis and finals. You are winning more than you are losing. Confidence is the hallmark of all winners. Getting dejected does not lead to confidence.
Crhis, as I commented before, you will be a real challenger to Ben. In the past, I only said this about singles; now, the same for doubles and mixed. Keep going! You two can probably play since you use the same paddle brand as Ana Lee. I am tired of seeing Ben and ALW play together.
Every person you lost to got a gold medal. So FWIW, by transitive property, your performance on men's side prob was 2nd best overall. Just (un)luck of the draw you ran into Staks, BJ, and BJ + ALWs before finals.
@@TweenerKinghow are the new mizunos? Looking for a new pair and was considering them. What makes them your shoe of choice? Also congrats on the last tourney, you and Julian played amazing. Just keep it up brother, you are doing consistently better and better, playing more solid every tourney. Eventually you will win one, win another, until they just start coming one after another. Your head is in the right place, you have the skills, the drive, the dedication, nothing will deny you if you keep pushing. It’s very clear watching you play that you have something special.
It may suck now. But everyone can see the progression. You said you have to believe that you’re the best. This is true but it is really terrifying for opponents when you believe it and there’s true realistic substance behind your beliefs. You’re very close. It sucks for sure to lose but it’s clear you’re on the right track to obtain your goals.
Damn a couple months ago you were up and coming, not even top 10. I remember saying to myself, this guy has heart and dedication, he’ll be up there with the top pros. Fast forward to now and look at you. Sponsorship, competing at the top. Congrats and keep grinding.
"Why I Chose THIS Paddle?" Only answer here is - the Waters family.. LOL Congrats! Well deserved!
😂😂😂
Bro you're on the doorstep. Every vlog you're getting closer and closer, better and better. If you were a stock I'd buy a bunch of shares
1000% agree
Been watching you since the beginning of your videos, keep pushing!
You have a lot of people wanting you to get to the top! 👊🏼
You are on your way to the top. That match vs the John's was amazing, one of the best matches of the year.

Your passion that makes it so hard to lose is what is also going to help push you forward buddy.

Loving the vlogs, would love to hear how to work on mindset, its something I'm working on a lot at the moment.

Keep at it mate!!! keep believing!
Be patient kid. You’ll reign on their parade soon enough.
Passion is paramount 💎
Love the vlogs! Can we get a tweener tutorial?
quality is looking really nice on the vlogs, keep doing you and the results will follow , thanks

Train like your number one. Believe that you’re number one. You have the talent to be number one, so go for it. Let nothing get in your way.
When should we be able to see this paddle come out to the public?

What are the specs of the Paddletek TKO-C? Weight? Swing weight? Twist weight? any specs?
The handle looks like it's 7 inches long. 😅
12:20 : If Pablo Tellez made vlogs after this past weekend. I really feel for you pro players, man. The peaks and valleys of competing at such a high level. I hope you all get the rest and recovery you deserve.
So what’s the name of the paddle? And where can I buy it?!
I've known you were gonna be number 1 since you first became pro, keep your head up mate and stay on the grind. Ben johns and company are a big mountain to climb but don't lose focus and the results will come.
Can you talk them into putting an actual end cap on the bottom instead of the pipe cap? That was my only issue with the ALW-c paddle
Love your passion for the game keep grinding bro
would love to see more ppa vlogs where we get to see behind the scenes of what tournaments look like for pros
You're in luck! I'll be doing more of these
Keep it up Chris, you’ll get their
So is the TKO same widths as the ALW 12.7 and 14.3
Yes it is!
Man, McDonald’s,chipotle, and Jimmy johns in one day. What does your weekly diet look like? If it is like that everyday I guarantee you that you are limiting yourself. You have the talent and making that diet adjustment might just be the push you need. No top athlete eats like that.

Great choice!
When does your paddle come out? I wanna show support!
Bro, I'm tired of losing to ben johns, too. lol.
Anyone know the title of the music (or the name of the composer) starting around @3:53 ?
Coding - Infraction
@@benjaminbramblett8919 Awesome. Thanks!
When will this paddle release?
Try the ALW 12.7.....its punchy
You blame yourself for the losses, I blame the McDonalds lol

Christian - the most improved player in 2023 ... AND in 2024 🎉

You won’t be losing for long. You’ve got it. You’re in the league!! Love watching you play big big fan!
I appreciate that!
Calm down 😂. Losing is apart of the game,stop putting so much pressure for perfection and trust the work you've put in.

How come you played with Parenteau, was it because Sock didnt play in Phoenix
