Phil is a hidden gem and a excellent instructor . Videos with Simone and Phil are the best !
That positioning was good and makes sense. Thanks.
Always good to see coach Phil! 👍🏻
Simone said something very important. You don’t always use the forehand to the center player to defend the middle. I have this discussion with many players who have been playing longer then me and they refuse to believe it. Tactics can change over time with more knowledge learned from experience. I’ve had players yell at me for taking opponents balls coming from their right side to the middle with my backhand from the right side. Always forehand, always forehand! No, it’s who is in best position takes the middle when shading correctly.
you might want to rewatch the video; Simone is saying the exact opposite of what you've concluded. In fact, she's saying she'd never partner with someone who does what you're doing.
I have found that unless my partner on the right side of n v z has a kill shot that is coming from his directly opposite opponents attempt at a cross court shot or either opponents ball is coming from the middle and going to the middle , I should take my cross court opponents cross court shot. In essence, it depends upon where the ball is coming from unless a kill shot is there.
Would like to see a lefty & a right drill . How do you cover middle ?
Secret of the pros!
One of the best videos I’ve seen. Love it!
Hi Phil Metz, Tammy from MN here. I'm huge into pickleball too! So happy to see you!!!! I play in the Villages in Florida
As always terrific! Thank you!!
I saw Becky and Simone play an informal game few weeks ago. Two awesome ladies! Thanks guys for sharing these tips.
Awesome coaching and instruction thank you to all
Awesome!!(again!) I especially liked the first part about the shot being out if it is going to your outside. And, funny, that only a couple of weeks ago, I asked a forum question about whether I should be cheating my ready position to the forhand side when in the position Simone was in. That cross-court, speed-up shot is what I call the "I hate my partner shot" since if it is anticipated it is returned hard usually to your partner who ends up eating it before they knew what happened!
Thanks for this thoughtful lesson regarding such an important strategy. The multiple camera angles and overall video production is terrific! Thanks Simone.
You guys are just awesome teachers!!
Great video. Thank you 💗
Great video, you answer some questions I have had lately about balls flying diagonally thru middle untouched.
All kidding aside Phil is a great coach. Lessons with any of the Academy coaches are always beneficial but also FUN!
Very good video. Thanks for discussing this court management. Rarely put into such easy to understand terms.
Ohhh Boy! = Classic Phil
Nice nuance in this tip.
Great info
Hi Becky 💗💗💗
Hand Grenade and Horseshoes. Nice reference to Green Day, Simone.
I also noticed that Simone's body was slightly open, and facing more to Phil, making it easier for Simone to hit her forehand.
Olá amiga tenha uma ótima semana abençoada por Deus
Yes. "Buy a Backhand!!!" LOL! A weakness of MANY Players is that they are not proficient at Backhand (Crosscourt) Dinks! One Drill that I like to do is to play the "Dink Game," where Players can ONLY hit Backhand Crosscourt Dinks until the Point is Won. Let me know if you would like more information on how to play the "Dink Game."
As an example, NOTICE HOW PATIENT Ben Johns is in hitting Backhand Crosscourt Dinks during the 2021 US Open Pickleball Championships where he consistently hits a backspin Backhand to control the point and allow his dominant Forehand to put away shots, and then, to allow Simone Jardim to hit winners when they are presented to her. czcams.com/video/OJaWBSZfE6Q/video.html
I’m in the area for a month, how do I get a hold of Becky for coaching?
I think she teaches at Peak Performance Pickleball Academy. I think she shows up in the private lessons section.
@@bd3952 thanks I found it!
Good video, but one of the cameras is out of focus.
excellent. now i will be watching if my partner can use backhand or they use forehand to cover. watch the ball not the partner.
