So in my endeavor to become the best pickleball player I can possibly be,

I realized that it's actually super helpful to have an extra set of eyes

and get constructive feedback from players who are better than me.

Dude, yours sounds so different.

This is my friend

Nick, and Nick started playing pickleball in February of 2023, and he's honestly probably the fastest learner that I know.

Nick played competitive tennis in college and he quickly climbed up the pickleball ladder in just a few months, even making qualifiers against Ben Johns.

In this video, I asked

Nick to give me some pointers on what I can improve in.

So three things that

Nick really helped me in this session are return of serves, drops, and drives.

This session was super helpful for me and I hope it can help you too.

Special thanks to HESACOR for sponsoring this channel and making this video possible.

so we don't want this part to be very rushed we actually want it to be nice

and controlled here yeah so we're gonna load this could be nice

and controlled and then we're gonna come up and get ready for

that next volley there and what you'll see is

that your next shot will be a lot easier

because you've got a deeper more penetrating return rather than one

that pops up and sits up a little bit more yeah that's on my back i'm already on my back foot

like when you're hitting the return i asked him

if like you're running while returning because that's what it looks like on tv

when i see pros it there it looks like this um

but you were telling me earlier

that it's actually more of like a lunge into it

so it's like here and then you say you load on the outside leg

and then you kind of lunge into it yeah versus more of a

kind of that because you could be a lot more uncontrolled

if you're just you know running through and hitting it yeah

but if you can slow it down at

that moment of impact it's way better and you're more controlled with your swing

and then you're just going to transition your weight forwards even easier as well like

that happens so often where i'm like i think it's i need to hit hard

because your serves are fast and you just got to time it a little bit better

and that's shallow yeah that's getting driven at me

or my partner yeah so i mean that's a very attackable ball uh but now

if you show me the one where you're transitioning forward

now i'm going to use nick's tip okay i mean look at that he's landed it

that felt so much better ridiculous i mean look at

that he's landed it another tip as well if we're talking about pace

and we're looking at numbers so let's think of the number 10

so if i'm giving ed uh eight serve he needs give me a two back

and use my power you know

if i give him a three then he's got to give me a seven back

so you've got to kind of match the pace uh with the server

so that it'll kind of get up to

that round number there good oh i like

that yeah yeah it feels better it should feel a little bit more controlled

and natural yeah okay i miss hit down my paddle

but i felt my body weight flowing better

and you can notice as well

that they're not popping up anymore like although there's sometimes a

bit short yeah the ball flight is way more low

and they're kind of penetrating through more um so you don't get ones

that pop up and sit up for a drive as much yeah

so first i'll show the one uh that is wrong here

and i see a lot of players do it's just going to pop up a little bit more

so next to that baseline yeah now i'm now i'm driving

that ball yeah he's able to attack me very well there

and you can see i'm i'm too close to the baseline

i haven't got enough time to react actual move forwards yeah

so it's just creating a very attackable ball

because i haven't got much reaction time and i'm not moving forwards and so now i'll show you the other one

yeah that's on my back i'm already on my back foot yeah on

that one and i didn't hit

that very hard at all i'm just using my body weight transfer

and i'm rebounding ed's power back to him cool

so the next thing that nick taught me earlier in the drill um our drill session was drops yep

and my drops some days they're really good i'm like i can't miss a drop i'm

so on fire right now

and some days i'm like i forgot how to hit draw

i don't know i'm quitting pick up all nick just showed me something

that i thought i've never heard anyone talk about before

but um it was hitting drops in front of you inside here mm -hmm

and I was reviewing my footage in my last video the survival drill where

i'm practicing surviving at the baseline

and i noticed how awkward i was hitting my drops i'm always hitting it to the side of me

and i'm always like kind of dipping here and i look like this

when i'm hitting my drops like this in front of him

and he didn't look awkward at all it's just buttery smooth

so we're gonna hit a few drops i'm gonna kind of show

that tip that nick yeah me uh the main thing there as well is

that ed was kind of doing a drop more like a drive

so he was taking it from the outside and there's just too much

that can go wrong out here

and he was taking too big a backswing we don't want any backswing there

because we're already getting a lot of pace from our opponent right

so keep everything out in front we kind of shadow the ball make sure it's in the right position

and then we just literally just hinging from our shoulder locking our wrist

and just pushing through the ball there yeah

and you can still generate top spin as well just by coming up the back

and the side of the ball a little bit as well

so it's almost like a granny shot like this that one just feels so much better already

right there

and it's almost like kind of like a beanbag almost yeah

i mean that's a great drop there yeah these feel

so much wow they feel so much easier to do

and i never heard anyone talk about this inside inside yeah brilliant so i'm like moving my feet really good

wow so one kind of key thing with the top spin is you know we are starting from

100

that flat position there but this is just a starting point um

101

so if we want to generate

102

that top spin all we have to do is just come around the outside of the ball a little bit

103

and then come over at the end um

104

and the reason why is just

105

because we can shape it more um rather than just it be you know a flat one

106

and you can differentiate between the two you know you can have your flat one here

107

and then if you want to hit

108

that top spin you just come around from the inside

109

and just come over it a little bit as well

110

so that's how you get that top spin there can you show

111

that one more time yeah sure so just from the inside and just coming around it a little bit more

112

rather than that flatter one there which is what i was doing yeah

113

so that flat one that you were doing there

114

which is kind of like that yeah and if you want

115

that top spin that's going to be more aggressive you know you can just shape it a little bit more

116

and kind of go around that way a little bit

117

so it's a very similar shot but there's just a subtle difference okay in

118

that we're just kind of shaping it a little bit um

119

and although it is top spin you know

120

we're not actually kind of doing a top spin drive yeah yeah we're actually carving it more from the inside

121

and coming round over the top of it so let me know

122

if i got it right before i was doing kind of like this yeah

123

so that's your flat drop

124

which is great flat drops yeah i thought i was doing top spin

125

because i was like yeah so that's yeah you don't want to break

126

that wrist you want to keep the wrist the same

127

but all we're going to do is kind of just turn it

128

and come from the inside like this yes

129

so we're just going to come round just a little bit not over no not over

130

so here yep to here yep so we're just going to come around

131

and then finish with it just a little bit over

132

so it's here i'm just lifting it just like

133

that got my large follow through oh my bad

134

that's a good ball there it goes i'm just pushing it pushing that ball there we go

135

so that's kind of what the flat drop will look like

136

and now i'll start kind of brushing up

137

and around the ball a little bit

138

so this one is your top spin yeah

139

this one will be the top spin drop now oh yeah those ones are deadly yeah these ones are dipping and

140

if you look at it the spin as well some of

141

them are actually getting a little bit of side spin um

142

which is great because it has a very similar effect um

143

but yeah it's just penetrating through a little bit more yeah

144

that one has side spin yeah beautiful yeah

145

and these these drops in a game i know nick could come forward on any of these drops 100

146

because that spin that you do it makes it dip faster yeah

147

so i'm like i'm my head's pointing down yeah i'm not going to be able to attack you yeah

148

and the difference as well is with the flat drop it's going to kind of float a bit more yeah

149

so you're easily able to attack it but when i hit

150

that topspin drop it's going to bite

151

and it's just going to dip way faster

152

and it's going to be a lot harder to attack it and

153

so one big thing with the drive as well is what

154

i see a lot of players do is they're just too rigid

155

and stiff with it you know it's not really loose

156

and it just looks very stiff with it we actually really want to utilize our body and create a coil motion.

157

where we're kind of ripping up on the ball and we feel like we're very loose as well

158

so just feed me one real quick yeah and i'll show you what the rigid one looks like

159

there goes the airplane

160

so it's just very stiff that first one

161

and you can see i'm not i'm not really doing anything with my body

162

or my arm or anything like that

163

and i'm actually hitting a lot of them face on

164

but this next one i'll show you what it should be doing

165

so i'm gonna be turning sideways i'm gonna be getting down creating

166

that coil and ripping up the ball

167

and kind of whipping over the ball to create that top spin

168

and that wrist lag as well

169

and also as well you really got to utilize this left hand as well to create

170

that engaging kind of motion and allow yourself to use your body weight

171

and kind of engage and rip through the ball whoa that's so fast

172

yeah that's as much as i could do right my nipple

173

all right so now i'll kind of show you what they look like in sequence with a different drop

174

and the drive as well okay that was a beauty

175

so good the main thing there as well is kind of have the same kind of setup from here

176

and then once i've got my arms ready i then either transition into

177

that drop here here or i turn my body

178

and i go into that drive

179

so same setup at the start get my arms ready

180

and then i switch between here and here like when you're hitting these nick you don't really uh

181

you're not really thinking about anymore

182

because it's kind of like just yeah in your kind of like riding a bike for you yeah

183

so it's almost kind of weird trying to dissect how to ride a bike

184

because you're like wait yeah i guess i do push my right foot down then my left foot down

185

but for us like kind of learning how to ride

186

this metaphorical bike we're kind of like okay here here yeah

187

but i think as we keep practicing that maybe yeah

188

that kind of becomes more intuitive and the technique builds on it yeah

189

and it's similar to the return you know you're loading on

190

that back leg

191

and then you're shifting all your body weight through onto the other leg straight ahead yeah

192

so it's just getting used to that pattern

193

and things will get a lot more comfortable yeah that's a ripper right there good yeah really good yeah yeah

194

so you can just feel it as you're coming through

195

and all that body weight is adding to the power of the shot

196

so rather than you know swinging harder with your arm yeah

197

you're just allowing your body to do some work

198

now yeah exactly wow thanks nick that's i'm a 5 -0 hey

199

if you guys appreciate those tips go follow my guy nick on instagram

200

and youtube thanks for watching we'll see you guys in the next Let's go.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
