- In this video, I present the Triangle Rule of Speedups. A theory for predicting where your opponent's counter will go depending on your speedup. This will help you hit better speedups, better counters, and win more hand battles in your pickleball games.

I can’t believe I actually thought of this (after watching your video) today when playing. It really helped me anticipate the angle of my opponent’s next shot! Thanks for the insight.
understanding the triangle changed my game completely 6 months ago. I'll add that there are strong triangles, and weak triangles. if your partner is too far apart or too close you have a weak triangle. but knowing the probable direction of a return while in a good triangle, has created an unbelievable amount of points for me. I am far better situated in almost every exchange now. thank you for confirming what I felt like was self-discovery after 2 years of playing.
Great stuff. It would help if you showed some of the example hand battles in slo-mo.
He did.
I interesting but not sure it’s right…it depends…depends on if your across from a lefty or righty …if it’s righty you will try and attack right shoulder right hip…if lefty the opposite….but also it depends on what that particular player favors …if a righty favors backhand you will attack chicken wing or right hip….so you may have to hit a couple of attacks to figure out your opponents tendency’s…l( favor backhand counters or sits on their forehand ( cali smith definitely protects her chicken wing so sits on her forehand) but interesting will have to think about it. Good stuff. Like it
Solid video and great insight. Love the Prince of Tennis profile picture. Great show. ☝
Definitely subbing after watching this. Really informative!
Game Changing
they won't know what hit them
So insightful! Thanks!
Nice stuff. You earned a Sub from me on your beg to 5.0 in 5 months vid. Your play is true 5.0 stuff, keep the videos rolling out and moving up the ranks with your cerebral play young man.
high quality bro
thank you!
super awesome tip re: speedups / counters / angles. More of that please! haha
Great video 🎉
Great theory and application ! Love the triangle and going to apply!
This is really good!!
Great breakdown and information!
Great content! Random tip i discovered. Ive started drilling speed ups with a suprr heavy wood or heavily head heavy weighted normal paddle. Since the paddle is too slow to purely react to my opponents counters, its forced me to really anticipate where i think the ball is coming back as i strike it based on the quality of my speedup and where i think its going on my opponents side. Its really helped me to focus on patterns of attack instead of speeding up and purely relying on my hand speed to respond to the counter
On one-handed opponent facing you (speedup is usually against opponent facing you for minimal distance)
1) speed up to the paddle side shoulder (forehand side, aka the chicken wing spot), the counter ball will go to your left, or to your left side of the body. That is because your opponent is late in his striking zone.
2) speed up to the non-paddle side shoulder (to opponent's backhand side), the counter ball will go to your right side of the body, or even at your chicken wing spot.
So it is better to speed up at the opponent's chicken wing spot. And if you go for the backhand side of your opponent, you might expect the ball coming to your chicken wing spot if the opponent can get to the ball "not too late".
On two-handled opponent facing you,
Speedup will always result in the counter ball returning across. That is, if the ball goes to the opponent's forehand side, the counter ball will always returning cross, back to your forehand side. That is because no matter how late the opponent reaches the speedup ball, the arm at the same side of the ball will always have enough power and room to "push" the ball across the body.
That is why many people like two-handed grip for defense response at the kitchen line because you could reach the ball even if it is late.
Not sure I understand this on the forehand side chicken wing area of a two-handed opponent, shouldn’t the ball be coming straight since he is jammed instead of cross court as you mentioned
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such good content. Thank you!
The Phil Jackson is Pickleball!
I agree with some of the other comments, great theory but needs to be explained slower and show more slow examples
I'm having trouble following. At 2:21 you said a two handed back hand counter will go to the right of their body. At 4:21 Ben SHOULD have countered this ball to his right (or down the middle), but he hits the ball to his left, down the line. It didn't form a triangle.
It has been mentioned there are 30% of exceptions
Ok, I was just making sure that I was understanding the rule correctly. @@ehlai1676
I actually have tried this and it seems to be a HUGE help.
Hey! How does the theory tend to hold up if you code pro matches? Do you feel like it "holds" better for amateur (who don't speed up as well, but also don't counter as well) or pros (who do well at both)? In other words: what really determines the triangle, quality of speedup or quality of counter?
quality of speedup i'd say! i'm not sure whether it'd hold worse for amateurs, would be curious for other peoples' experience
I do believe the pros know how to 'set you up', for a prepared kill shot after you return. How? Because he knows there is only a narrow angle or possible direction the ball will return at. Even better if he 'directs you off centre's and attack your gaps. It's very much like a chess masterclass play., eg. sacrificing an easy pop-up but already knows where to direct your ball. Anticipating your opponent shots makes you the monkey master, not the monkey.
Is it best to speed up away from their body or at the hip and shoulder?
it's really situational (opponent's tendencies and how you match up against them) and at higher levels it's about having a lot of options, both targets and speed
Incredible video. Seems like pickleball effect copied a dumbed down version.
Assuming everyone is right handed… nothing about left hand to left hand, etc but it’s understood.
Just reverse everything?
He never says anything about right handed or left...he talks about hitting to forehand or backhand. The rules are the same for left or right because the rules involve backhand and forehand
lol no I get that but lefty playing righty and vice versa. it definitely gets a bit more complicated. but yeah I'll figure it out.@@robbyd1140
@@robbyd1140 Exactly! Most lefties have "grown up" reversing everything we've been shown visually how to do. So we already know how to turn it around to apply to ourselves.
Dude says he didn't learn what a speedup was until he reached 4.5. How does that work?
You didn’t develop this theory. You aren’t him.
huh?
