Pickleball! Be Aware of Exactly Where Your Opponents are Positioned on the Court!

In this video, examples in which players are not aware that one of their opponents is poorly positioned on the court. Instead of easily winning a point by hitting the ball to the player improperly positioned, they hit it to the player that is perfectly positioned. Check it out!

I appreciate your analysis of this game. I see myself making some of the same errors, and your analysis showcases why the third shot drop is worth the time to drill, drill, and more drills.

It's true. When I drill, I first start off by hitting 300 third shot drops. Thanks for watching.

Nice analysis. About the only point I would differ on is when one opponent is back and one up I will keep the player back until I get one in the kill zone and my put away shot will be at the player that is up because they don't have as much time to react. These ladies all had some skills but very little power. I would feel comfortable lobbing to them all day long especially if I could just knock them back one step. Most of what you call put away shots were only kills when they used riskier angles. They all did a nice job digging smashes and a pretty good job with the dinking game. A few too many unforced errors, as you said.

Thanks for watching and thanks for your comments. I do understand what you're saying about smashing it at the player who is up instead of keeping the player back. Sometimes that is good strategy if the ball is hit high. Thanks again. Tell a friend.

1st shot analysis is wrong because the woman is pinching middle drive the ball down the line. You told her to hit it to the lady in the back and that is what she attempted. If you follow the balls trajectory it would have ended up between the back persons legs except for the poach.

Maybe so. I'm not right all the time. Thank you for watching.
