    Kenadi was a great asset to the video and the examples from you both matched perfectly. Your graphics and editing are top notch. Maybe best I've seen. Black and white PIP with a replay and explanation were *perfect* explainers. Hats off to whoever is doing that. Great examples and explanations.

    You are an awesome teacher, I finally understand the roll shot now. So many commentators refer to the shot while watching the pros, but now I understand how to implement myself! Thanks for the lesson , really appreciate it. I feel like I’m growing with each video I watch from you !

    Kenadi looks better in her outfit that you do in yours.😍 You should use her more. When she did the two different positions, I didn't see the difference right away, but when you were describing the correct position and moving her it seemed to have more impact. She's perfect for your style. She's pro when a pro is needed, and she can play beginner for you. Your explanations are still top notch.🥰

      @@mccgunter I need to say, I hope you can realize how much we appreciate you guys and your presentations. You try so hard to talk the topic, illustrate the topic, and execute the topic. Then, it all has to be put together in a great video that holds our attention. That is a lot of time and work. But you make us all better and inspired about Pickleball.

    Video idea, can you react/breakdown some pickleball plays from higher levels to explain some of the game strategies that they are trying to use? I am trying to understand a lot more of the logic and putting strategies together to get more of an advantage during certain plays.

  • @gabrielfrench8382
    @gabrielfrench8382 Рік тому

    Great video yet again. I do have to say, as much as I understand the vast majority of players use a continental grip, saying that it's key to good pickleball or good shots is a bit misleading and I hear it a lot from instructional channels. Several players in the PPA and MLP use non-continental grips and do very well. Obviously they are the exception, but if you can do shots in pickleball just fine with your grip, you shouldn't feel pressured to change. With that said, every other point in this video was great and well-explained, keep it up!

    Thanks so much for great instruction. Hitting clean crisp hard hit volleys against bangers is my challenge. However, your advice on keeping a firm wrist is so helpful. Yep! Wasn't doing that so mishit many shots. Not anymore! Bangers, beware! LOL BTW, Kenadi is an awesome addition. Let's see more of her. :)😄

  • @lindam2884
    @lindam2884 3 місяці тому

    Can you explain the drill a little more? Is the concept that the person at the kitchen (you) is volleying but also trying to keep the person back? And then the person at the baseline (Kennedy) is supposed to make her way back by drops or drives?
    Btw, I enjoy seeing your sister in the demonstration a lot!

    Connor, do you ever mix in a slice/undercut shot when your opponent is in transition? I find that if I hit a couple deep roll shots to keep them back and then slice one they almost always dump it into the net, like 95% of the time.
