    If Amrik can fix Chris Olson’s counters I’ll make him the head coach of all of my clinics, and I’ll be the assistant

      You’re going to have to define “fixed”. I’ll stop reviewing paddles for 6 months to make this happen. 😂

    Chris, look at the shape of his 'hand' at the finish after contact and compare that to yours. You have a twist, almost slice motion through contact vs. block and push. Because of that, you feel the need to make a swing, as it's the only way for you to come 'over' the ball to hit down. It would be interesting if you took a video of yourself going between a reset and a counter. See of the wrist movement is similar and if your 'finish' shape is optimal for accuracy and pace. Great job...thanks for sharing. Sent it to over 30 people already!

    I've also recently discovered that staying low isn't just useful at the kitchen. If you have trouble returning low hard hit serves, the simple act of lowering your viewpoint down closer to the level of the ball makes it sooo much easier to handle.

    • @user-oo9hr6xx9q
      @user-oo9hr6xx9q 14 днів тому +2

      Thirds are easier too if you get low

    • @johnp1
      @johnp1 13 днів тому

      Right on. This is why tennis pros lower their bobies when returning first serves.

    • @skrueger78
      @skrueger78 13 днів тому +2

      You need to stay low for every shot but overheads. Makes the game way easier

    As an older player with sore knees, to hear a pro tip that doesnt involve tons of footwork is heavenly! Nose over toes and don’t move your feet as much! I can do that.

    This is one of the best pb vids I've watched. Seems like 90% of instructional vids focus on the same things... Just different YT'ers saying the same stuff. This one presented very specific actions to take and the reason behind those actions as well what to look for to initiate the counter. 👍🏾

    Chris, your approach to improvement in this video is excellent. I especially like the counter drill where they feed you a slower ball to work on form and the idea of putting a water bottle behind your feet to help prevent movement. Thanks for sharing! It's given me some ideas for improving my own counters.

    @aznflamel3oy 14 днів тому +1

    When volleying / punching, in additional to the leaning forward and keeping your swing to a minimum, also notice his feet and leg position, they are much more bent than yours. Getting low and being able to spring upwards and forward (from the lean) is where all of his body mechanics works in sync of each other to generate the power, which is why he doesn't need to do a pull back big swing. You also need to add the mindset of being ready to pounce and counter each ball hit by your opponent. Any of his balls should be expected to be a speedup. Having your body in that bent and lower position will help you anticipate and react to a potentially speed up, but it can also give you the upper edge on attacking a back return. It works both ways.

    Thanks Chris and Amrik for a great video/teaching tool! I'm very new to Pickleball, and I know I make many of the same mistakes, as well as others. Now I understand the imortance of bending my knees and really getting low, leaning forward and being ready, and not leaning back. Can't wait to try the corrections on the court! Also, the explanation of Ben Johns movement taking dinks on court was very helpful. I'm in Cuenca, Ecuador and don't have all the resources available, that we're used to in the US. There are quite a few hard core picklers here, but we have to broom, sweep, and groom (blow leaves) our 3 courts every day.

    @afterthesmash 6 днів тому

    I'm super tall, and I have to use a deep knee bend all the time. Not usually on the 4th shot, but on other shots, it's a major factor in my play whether I expend a lot of time to go full "down elevator", which really anchors my feet to the ground (sometimes too much), or whether I opt for only a partial knee bend. Shoulder down to just above the net cord is almost a full 90 degree knee bend in my case. Burn those quads, as my coach used to say, applies double to a sky hook.
