    The brilliance of this is that "back foot first" is a general principle you can use everywhere, if controlled weight transfer is the end goal. No drilling, nothing much to remember. Just a general principle you can work on any time and all the time, until you feel ready to take on the whole technique.

      Great video, as always! How things are broken down into smaller components is really good, and makes it easier to follow along and to incorporate into our drills 👍🏻
      Question: for lefties (which includes me), the "back foot first" concept means planting the right foot first before the left foot (in order for the body to move in the same direction of the shot), correct?

    After watching dozens of videos before, I can say that Tanner is the best , my game drastically improved from 3.0 3.5 to 4.0 and above from following his advice. He is my only source of coaching.

    I’m extremely new been only playing for a month and your tutorials and coaching
    Really took me from novice beginner to mid in a month. I beat a 3.7 and that was from you. Best advice you gave was it doesn’t matter how hard you hit work on consistency over power. Doing hard returns and sprinkling in a drop had my opponent a bit confused. This was such an interesting move. Your backhand return was the biggest help to my game that and your serving video

    YES! Amazing quality content easy to understand and adaptable. Younger players have so much to offer to the game. The concept of stepping back from the NVZ would be a no no by most “Gen 1 Player” standards. Footwork is fundamental in most activities or sports so this makes total sense. Great Job!

    Thank you for your very clarifying tutorial. I like how you remind players that its not a Nike Swoosh type motion, and to not chop down on the ball. I actually think copying Ben Johns bh dink motion is detrimental to most rec players, because it looks like hes chopping down on the ball (when in reality he's not, he's just pronouncing the initial downward motion to gain racquet head speed)

    Great information. Thank you, Tanner. Would the back foot first then front foot footwork be effective with forehand dinks?

    Is there a reason why you put your other hand on your hip so much? Is it to move weight for balance or like to push on your leg to stabilize?

    • @tanner.pickleball
      @tanner.pickleball  4 місяці тому

      Not sure exactly, I find it more comfortable. For some reason when I don't do it.. my consistency really drops lol

  • @wulymammoth
    @wulymammoth 5 місяців тому +2

    Tanner, in your other drills, you almost always shuffle step and start with your inside foot and then move your outside foot. At the beginning of your video, you state that you always move your back foot first then your front foot such that your weight transfer is coming forward into the shot. Is it right to assume that you only do this when you're going after a ball that's dinked to you out wide?

    • @tanner.pickleball
      @tanner.pickleball  5 місяців тому +3

      Yes on a ball out wide, I may move my inside foot first… but I always go back to front if I have time.

  • @olgianpickleball

    Hey Tanner. Do you mean outside foot first? Little confused with "back ... front" terminology. Thanks for great teaching!

    • @tanner.pickleball
      @tanner.pickleball  5 місяців тому +1

      Hey that’s one way to think of it as well. I always set my back leg so I can step into my front leg.

    Why is this a backhand instead of a forehand shot?

  • @mattheween
    @mattheween 3 місяці тому +1

    you demonstrate “back to foot” in the first section but when you demonstrate in the “wrist position” section you didn’t apply the same footwork😢

    • @tanner.pickleball
      @tanner.pickleball  3 місяці тому

      That is the ideal form. If you are rushed, you may have to change footwork around! I will check that out to see why I did not do it, my apologies!

      In pretty much all your drills, if you have to move more than a half step, you’re setting your front foot first, still moving your weight through the ball though
