The best drill for singles to start off with is developing a solid serve you can consistently hit. Set up targets, and either go by the number of minutes or balls and see how much you can progress from there.

Thanks D! Had fun with our singles game this morning ;)

Actually. Dude clearly could not move well or hit hard enough balls.

In his defense, he was signed up for the lower division and then got combined in the high division. He didn’t even want to compete but the director asked him heavily

@@Mr.Miyagi_PPR crazy

A good shot will always be a good shot and that deserves respect, in my opinion

Check the date of this tournament

@@Mr.Miyagi_PPR Makes more sense now haha my B

Me too, Marshall is a great guy and you should see how he showed up in the final game we play

That's the Tennis line, zoom in and look at the fainted gray painted line. It was messing me up too.

Fair point

Thank you! Of course, anytime. It’s always a pleasure to work with you.

Thank you, glad I could help. And the guy probably wasn't doing it on purpose, we were both super exhausted by the end of it. It's more of it's someone is right by you and they still toss it by your feet, that's something that gets me going a little bit.

What can you do except keep positive and prove you can be better than someone with a “illegal” serve

100% Gold Medal matches need Refs that enforce the rules!

Should be a easy game than ayee

3.5 can barely hit the ball over the net 4.0 is a transitioning level with getting shots more consistent. These people are hitting hard and consistently stop being a troll

Literally everyone looks worse on camera than in person. If everyone saw how they played on camera, they'd be disgusted lol

@@BarbaricYT what you mean stop being a troll i actually play the sport and would beat both of these guys in singles and doubles

@@bradysylvester6259 doesn't mean this isn't a 4.0 tournament

@@bradysylvester6259 let’s play for $100

for real lmfao

That dude's serves are obnoxious... every single one of em.

Thank you, I always was a big fan of Rafa and Andy growing up. Definitely trying to embody the nadal spirit

I am going to do a match break down of the third set, hopefully will be ready within the next week or so. Thank you for your patience.

Wait for the third video to come out, ima do a slow motion break down to see if it is illegal and then let the internet weigh in as well.

@@Mr.Miyagi_PPR it immediately stuck out to me. Looks illegal to me but maybe my eyes are deceiving me.

Multiple people brought it up to him during the tournament but the director didn't do anything about it. I think were people went wrong is that they were trying to get him for having a serve higher than the belly button but when I am watching it in slow mo, the "low to high" motion is more of a straight back and straight through with a upward motion. He has been getting called out in other tournaments so that should be a sign as well to maybe start looking at changing the serve.

@@Mr.Miyagi_PPR makes sense to me. If multiple people see an issue with it, might be time to make adjustments on his end.

@@evanc1275 Would be nice to have a formal rule or way of enforcing it.

Thank you Skye! Legs feeling great

Good question.

Grit seems to be fine but I have seen those videos

@@Mr.Miyagi_PPR I demoed a Colin and Anns G3 and the Anna was significantly different on both sides. the Colin was the same on both sides.

@@86309 must be inconsistency within each paddle I feel like it. Watch out for defects to come up , would love to hear more from people in the field using them.

@@Mr.Miyagi_PPR I have been using my the last several days... I got it because i normally use a self-designed paddle from a manufacturer that makes some things for major brands (I'm in China alot). At a recent PPA (4.0 - 4.5) event at Pictona (Daytona Beach FL) , paddles were checked and mine was fine for round robin, In championship bracket, it was checked and approved first round, second round it was not checked... however, when we got to the bronze medal match finals it was said it looks fine but (we did not pay the $1500 fee and send 6 paddles for approval) it was not on the list... so I had to borrow a paddle from someone else. Luckily we won the first 2 of 3 matches... but i wanted a paddle that would match the control of what I was used to. Then, in a tournament, i would not need to worry. Well, now I'm in a dilemma with a paddle i did not pay to get approved (Manufacturer says it will be no problem, just send the money), or my new Ben Johns paddle which ... who knows what will happen... my next tournament, mid June, cortland, NY. I guess I should be paddle shopping again.

100% have the back up paddles ready. It really is unfortunate because I myself spent a month plus just really dialing in the new gen 3 paddles power just to have that info come out just throws a lot of wasted time away.

But what if you like that backhand more than the forehand? Kinda like a Conner Garnett but with a roger federer backhand finesess.

@@Mr.Miyagi_PPR Let's calm down with the comparisons 😂 jk, but im sure even Garnett would run around that for a forehand overhead.

@@ChanGardeningToolPark you right lol it’s hard to resist that juicy sitter sometime

what rule does it violate?

2.E.6. Prohibited Surface Features and Mechanical Features. 2.E.6.a. Anti-skid paint or any paint textured with sand, rubber particles, or any material that causes additional spin. 2.E.6.b. Rubber and synthetic rubber. 2.E.6.c. Sandpaper characteristics. 2.E.6.d. Moving parts that can increase head momentum. 2.E.7. Model Designation. The paddle must have a manufacturer-provided and clearly marked brand and model name or model number on the paddle. The brand and model information may be shown on the paddle by a manufacturer affixed decal.

@@LifestyleRoutinesDaily From the Equipment standards: 2.E.6.f Springs or spring-like material, flexible membranes or any compressible material that creates a trampoline effect Joola is literally advertising that trampoline effect

@@imass90 ah thats insane, thanks

​@imass90 they removed that rule, it is no longer listed in the 2024 official rulebook under equipment standards

100% I agree with you

Was a battle till the end.

14mm surprisingly I liked better.

I will make sure to include that in the next one, I did the same version with some different people.

FINISHED HIM!

Thank you! Still gotta practice the down the line backhand and forehand.

Yes!

- No they do not give you the answer. - I believe you could re-take test as many times as you want but i'm leaning like 98% on that one. - Yes, once you take the whole test, you can go back and see what you got wrong but it wont show you any correct answers. - The questions are the same but different order and different answer order. - It took me about 1 hour, but it's essentially open book so you got this! Let me know how it goes or if you need any more help.

Thank you Sky! I was feeling frisky on Canva

100% he was tryna keep it deep but with no pace

Watch round 3! I got a great lob serve in it. Thanks for subscribing!

Next round it happens to me against a 5.7 ish player. It was hard getting adjusted to those balls.

Thank you for the feedback!

Que?

Thanks for the feedback! I currently use the third shot drop, completely customizable.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Josh is such a great guy to play with all around.

Happens to the best of us.

Thank you, it’s one of my favorite lifting songs. I usually try to plan the beat drop with the climax of the point!

Unforced errors and not putting away easy balls the way we should. What did you see in the last 5 minutes? Anything we could have done better or change?

@@Mr.Miyagi_PPR its all black screen

Thank you for that catch, should be all fixed now!
