- This is my standard drill session that I like to do to improve my game overall at a competitive level. I drilled this routine a couple of times before I got 4th in 5.0 Men's Doubles at the APP Newport Beach Golden Ticket Qualifier. I practice every shot I will hit during a tournament match. I would like to hear you thoughts on the drill routine, my approach to it. I would also like to know what specific shots you guys incorporate into your drill routine!

Looking good bro 💪
Appreciate it!
Great video! How long have you been playing? Any tips for breaking from 4.0 range to 4.5 and beyond besides drilling and tournament play?
I’ve been playing for a little over 2 years now! It depends on your game. For example, I didn’t come from tennis and due to a shorter stature I don’t win by over powering my opponents and ripping drives. My game is to drop, reset from mid-court, and out dink my opponents for a speed up and rely on fast hands. Because of my game style, to reach a higher level (4.0-4.5) I need to improve my transitioning from the baseline to the kitchen. I want to be at the kitchen as much as possible because that is where I am able to play to my strengths! You can really learn a lot about your game and how to improve it by recording yourself. Down to specific details, for example, I noticed that although I transferred good footwork from soccer to pickleball I need to improve my positioning on the court when making contact with the ball to make it a higher percentage shot. Try recording some of your games and take notes on what to work on when you go into your drill sessions!
@@fabianjacobopickleball dude thank you so much for taking the time to answer my comment. I also don’t come from a tennis or racket background. I’m struggling with foot work at the moment and hence why I feel I’m stuck at 4.0. I’ve been playing for a year or so. How often do you drill to make sure you can come up to the kitchen as much as possible??
It is my pleasure, I always try to help where I can! I try to drill 3 times a week but sometimes that can prove to be difficult! It is way more important to drill than to play rec if your goal is to progress your game (especially the better you get as you start to plateau). on that note, I also believe that it is more important to drill correctly rather than just drilling to clock in hours. When I look back at my videos, I look for the mistakes. For example, one of my mistakes is I lean back when resetting the ball from mid-court and that causes a lot of errors. Now I know that when I am drilling mid-court, I focus on creating it a habit to lean forward and not back. Little nuances like this can really build a player, specifically in the competitive scene!
