Ok, now we need a forehand lesson with this guy.
This is the BEST kind of PB instruction video I’ve ever encountered. PLEASE keep content like this coming 🙏
Agreed!
OK boys … I have watched a ton of videos … but this one is by far the best PB video I have ever seen … detailed, short, quick conversations, followed by examples, followed by quick corrections while hitting. Moving along to the next steps in the sequence, that makes sense. And then the transcript is money. I’ve been piecing together how to effectively hit a “tui”, this is the blueprint. Fantastic job you two. !!
This is why I trust your reviews. You’re actually a good player, with good form, and more importantly, you’re always striving to become a better player. Honestly, with other paddle reviewers, when I see them play and their hacky form, it makes me trust their opinion less. Good shit, man!
Really solid content here Chris. More of this would be dope. Thanks!
Chris, hands down, this is the best 2 handed backhand instructional videos. I have watched many because I can see that an effective "tuey" can elevate one's game. I do not have a tennis background (played a lot of raquetball in the 70's & 80's but 2 hand backhand is not a thing) so it has been a struggle to incorporate the "tuey." This is a "must study" video. Thanks.
This was super helpful. Even though his instruction was for you specifically, it is applicable to many of us. Thank you!!
26:06 Excellent point about not swinging thru and up and over your shoulder, but to make more compact. Rafa Hewitt is excellent at this. Aanik. Nice work and thorough explanation of your awesome backhand. Chris, good learning and listening. I gotta do what you guys are doing to always improve
He says to be compact on the follow through, but if you watch his slo mo backhand @7:19 you see that he brings it all the thru over the shoulder.
Great content. love the detailed step by step instruction. More video's like this please.
Chris! Let’s do an updated lesson with Aanik, and see how backhands doing?!?!?
The slow motion of A at the end with chariots of fire music score was moving, truly. The human form in perfect alignment and action is stunning. Muchas Gracias from Madrid. I'm ready to go out and add the twoie
I concur with everyone who found this helpful and instructive…fyi, this type of content is likely in high demand! Thank you Chris!
This is probably the best online vid I've seen so far and I've reviewed LOTS. Thank you so much.
Another instructional video with a Pro that's awesome. Hope this channel has more of this type of content. Awesome job!
Aanik's backhand is so clean 🧼🧼🧼 5 billion backhands and a Aanik Lesson- Chris is getting signed to MLPPPAAPPUSPA merger league soon 👀
With that many backhands, I think AARP is the name of the league 😮
What a great video! Aanik is funny as heck and offers incredible coaching. Perfect combo!
Entertaining and helpful video, thanks!
Conner!! Thanks for the backhand tip. As a Racquetball player using two hands is unheard of. My backhand is pretty good however hard to control getting OVER a net.
Thanks again.
oh WOW, I really needed this. Can't wait to hit the courts. Thank you great lesson
The pickleball studio buff is real, lohani in the finals!!
Thanks for posting this.
this was a great video it'd be awesome to see more each video focusing on a different shot super work much appreciated btw your backhand did look better!
all in the footwork 🔥
This was excellent Chris and Aanik! Thank you for the quality and very helpful content! I have a question about the follow through. Aanik said the follow through didn’t need to be full, all the way back up to head level but on his slow mo’s at the end they seemed be full follow throughs? Maybe I missed it- I’ll watch again later. Thanks again!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Wow this is solid! Def the video I was looking for
Thank you for sharing this! I just got another valuable lesson!
Very thorough. Thanks guys.
Love this lesson! Informative, entertaining and very helpful!
Great coaching tips. Thank you
I would like to see the ball speed difference between the one-hander, the two-hander and the two-hander with the extra lag/whip....great video Chris
Watched this video yesterday, played so much better at the rec today. Thank you bro.
Lots of great insight! Very special because you present ideas I haven't seen in most other 2 handed instruction. One question. What grip do you recommend for each hand and what is the reason?
Excellent video, as usual. Thank you for this one especially. Very helpful!
Great content and even better production quality. Love the two cameras action and the different perspective. Next time just get the white balance the same ; ) Taking things to the new level. Well done.
Great video! Hope to see more of you training with pros on different techniques!
You should review the official Whataburger paddle!
@ 3:53 does he say to make contact with a closed paddle face? If your paddle face is closed, and you are hitting from the backcourt, you are 100% going to hit that ball in the net
an @7:19 when he makes contact, his paddle face is not closed, it is square
Great video!! Thanks
Yay!! Thanks for posting!
Two-ee? Well that’s my new favorite term
this was great. thanks
Great video, thanks!
Chris you really must have helped Aanik. He went from 3.5 to a finals against Ben great job Chris. Wait who was 3.5?
I can't seem to generate power. Does the power comes from twisting of the body or from the arms/hands? Thanks for the video though. Good job!
10:33 My question is: if the ball is really that high that you'd need to take a few steps back before hitting it, is waiting for that to occur so you can hit a proper 2 handed backhand really the right shot to be taking in the first place? In singles, I know a large part of the strategy is hitting the ball as early as possible to take away time from your opponent to get positioned at the kitchen. So maybe ripping a 1 handed backhand might be the better shot in certain circumstances. Doubles is probably a different story. Thoughts?
@McPickle I think I t’s a matter of how effective/ confident you are with either shot. I used to (in tennis) almost exclusively hit 2-handers because I knew I could rip em where I wanted to. I only sliced w 1 hand. 25 years later in pickleball I find I’m more comfortable with a one handed backhand drive than I ever was in tennis, so I go there more often than 2 (this is likely due to my old man thighs and knees being out of prime.) Muscle memory serves me well, though, so I have both shots at my disposal in PB, but I think it’s a bit like my golf game where I just feel more confident hitting a particular club when the pressure’s on.
@@nugster9559 I'm asking about the ideal case (i.e. the professional level) where the player has the ability to hit any kind of shot proficiently.
What App/Software are you using to edit your awesome VIDS?
I’m wondering if the two handed backhand is more natural for someone who bats (baseball) or shoots (hockey) left handed.
Tldr: Rip, Whip, and Dip.
I’ll preface this with I played college tennis…that said, prior to the pickleball surge, people who never played a racket sport would look like absolute trash on a court. Now, even with just a year of good, hard/competitive pickleball play, it’s almost hard to tell who has played tennis for years and who hasn’t…. Honestly, if I had a young kid right now who may end up getting into tennis, I would without a doubt have them start playing pickleball first. I guarantee the transition into tennis will be much easier…. Other than the serve and return (arguably the hardest thing about tennis 😂) pickleball provides a great foundation….
Great video! From an equipment standpoint, what size paddle handle do you think is adequate to effectively use the two hand backhand? I'm used to a 5.5, and was thinking about even going bigger. But a new panel that got me excited as 5.3 in. Do you just overlap your hands more with a shorter handle?
You can overlap your hands with a shorter paddle.
Great video. I am currently a single backhand player (tennis and pickleball). Should I convert to double backhand? Would the learning curve be too steep? What is the advantage of double handed backhand? thanks
well done,... Leg day lol!
Cool video lesson. I'm working on my two hander also. What are your thoughts on those balls that are hit deep and instead of backing up and waiting for the ball to drop into your hitting zone but moving up to the ball and hitting on the half volley shortening the time you are giving for your opponent to get into position.
I just asked the same question haha. Great minds!
If that’s a problem that happens frequently, it’s likely your court positioning is the root cause of the issue. A two handed backhand stroke should only be used at the base line or as a counter at the kitchen. If you’re in the transition zone, it’s all about resetting the ball and getting back to neutral at the kitchen
@@CryptoxLawyer_eth did you read my post and take the time to think about it?
@@CryptoxLawyer_eth Uhh...no. What if the ball is attackable and in the transition zone, but on your backhand side? You're telling me you should reset that ball just because you're in the transition zone? Or you must hit the backhand one handed? That is rigid thinking. Do I need to find you countless clips of pros hitting two handed backhands from the transition zone to make this clear?
@@AllHijinksNoHighDinks There are a lot of variables to take into consideration. I guess I'd argue that the smarter or higher percentage play would be to reset the ball to get neutral at the kitchen so you can begin to construct your point in a manner that aligns with your given strategy for the match. Sure, you can rip a two hander from the transition zone, but what happens when your opponent counters? If you're taking that ball out of the air for a two hander, there's very little time for you and/or your partner to recover or prepare for the next ball. Slowing the game down and resetting the ball in transition zone gives you the best chance to get neutral and win the point IMO. End of the day, it's whatever you're most conferrable with!
What are Aanik's shoes? They look noice
Looks like Wilson’s Rush Pro.
Which joola paddle is aanik using?
Anyone have any actual data whether this whip action adds speed? I've seen a lot of "pros" (not being negative, but I don't really know how good their shots are) talk about not having whip but instead keeping the face pointing in the same direction. I have great foot speed, but I need some pop on my shots!
Noticed that you are using a Volair paddle, did you switch from you Six Zero or are you just testing it out? I don't think I seen a review from you for that paddle or did I miss it? Peace!
I was just testing it out :)
Every time he says "two-ee" take a shot.
Where are you located and do you offer lessons.
Oh my god I took a video of myself and I'm barely bending my knees at all.
What paddle is the pro using?
Got it
"I took a lesson with a pro, but I'm still a 3.5"
Knowledge is not power,
Applied knowledge is power
dude has 3 right feet. omg. i dont think ive seen someone that un coordiated hitting a two h backhand. upper body is fine but boy the legs on this dude made me laugh
Lower! Get lower!
Wonder y double hand such a light racket… never saw pingpong player play double handed backhand… LOL
If you want to be good at pickleball, take TENNIS lessons.
Source: I've been playing pickleball one time per week for two months, and I'm already in the 5.0 level. Played tennis in college.
It is very unlikely you'll develop a perfect pickleball tecnique playing just pickeball because unline tennis, "pickleball" is very forgiving. You could hit using very inefficient motions and your shot would still be OK
Dumb comment
Lohani beat Patraquin 3 and 2. Vegas PPA.
Stop interrupting the teacher. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Should of done that before hitting a gazillon backhands..lol
He said this was done as part of that video in the first 1 minute of this video
Should have, not should of.
That Selkirk net is sagging in the center! You’re cheat’n! 😜 Someone stole your center wheel!
I don't think that anyone looking to learn a 2 handed backhand from ground zero will find what they are looking for here. Chris already had the fundamentals down pat and was just refining his technique. I'm not sure how many thousand 2 handed backhands Chris had hit before this lesson!
you said "Got it" a zillion times.........got it?
Too much talk no demo by the pro
Congrats, you are now a 3.6 at best.
Two hands on a pickleball paddle is embarrassing. It’s the mullet of sports.
