You're about to get 4 years of my most valuable pickleball lessons in a 15 minute video. If someone had explained these concepts to me when I first started playing, I would have progressed so much faster. So I'm extremely excited to be sharing them with you!

I give away 1 FREE paddle, 1 advanced tip, 1 related drill, and answer 1 question every week in my 'Road to Pro' newsletter🎁

as a former table tennis player, i can relate to most of your instructions. i believe you have an excellent foundation. i just started a few months ago and i need to have the stamina to play against these younger and faster players.

I've played tennis for over 40 years and took up pickleball last year. Within a short time I was assessed as a 4.5 and within a year I was assessed as a 5.5. It wasn't just my years as a tennis player, but my fitness and agility that got me there so quickly.

One thing I don't hear from coaches is that to be a good pickleball player, you need to be fit and agile. Pickleball requires both aerobic and anaerobic fitness. You also need to be flexible and quick on your feet.

It's shocking to see people of all ages playing pickleball for only 15-20 minutes, and they start to get bombed out.

If you want to be a good pickleball player, especially if you want to bump up to a 5.0 or beyond, spend time off the court working on your fitness, mobility and flexibility.

The chess analogy helped

@VivatChristusRex_33

A chess reference in my pickleball video?! Love it!

@sliceofpay

This is one of the best video on YouTube

@terenceliu6370

What does being 3.0 or 5.0 or whatever means?

@rb4551

This was very helpful

@nicolehernandez11

PADDLE!!

@anthonylopez6135

Shea, I really appreciate how there are no wasted words in this video. It was scripted out, organized, the video camera angles were well chosen, and you can go back over and over within a segment and learn something new each time you listen. This is the best presented information on Pickleball that I’ve seen on YouTube and have looked at hundreds of videos. Congratulations Thank you.

@DUPRPB

Why drill when you can get a new paddle which we all know makes u pro instantly … ? While you debate which paddle, might I suggest TF by CRBN — “10off”

@Jaydell929

@Robert-mc9os

If I looked like this guy I’d have to be a pickleball master too

@BurtRhombus

@leopardlhm

Body stepping is a hop left or right not cross legs. Know that from 30 year badminton lesson from a tv show.

@hereg3043

Blah blah blah

@brianrowley4537

Is this Tfue? lol great video, was able to see a lot of things I was doing wrong when I play.

@joepzenz

Loved it sir. I am going to practice each of these in my drills

@gooddude9211

What was your first DUPR score when you started? Started last year without any racquet sports. Close to 4.0 now. Journey from 3.5 to 4 is hard. Its easier now beat 4.0s

@Shakpickleball

Yep downloaded this video and watching over and over

@reys7510

Goof stuff

@FICTORIA

Great video

@hammycrackers8521

Subbed. Great cliff notes

@stevonanzaldua628

0:30 - L1. target your serve outside of their left foot
2:30 - L2. shot peaking - the ball on your dink should peak on your side of the court and should fall when crossing the net
3:20 - L3. spin continuation.
5:40 - L4. aim your drive. don't think of drive as a winner. aim to forehand close to their hip.
6:30 - L5. aim your drops. 3rd shot aim towards the middle of the kitchen.
8:00 - L6. don't do lift dink after opponents lift dink, but rather push. Respond with lift dink to a push.
8:50 - L7. target worst dinker. target primary dink location until there is an open space on another side
10:50 - L8. ready position guessing. don't commit to a shot your guess will happen.
11:30 - L9. it's ok to backup. allow the ball to hit the court, so it loses energy and you can hit a better shot.
13:20 - L10. attack the side which is most inconvenient for the opponent to defend

@prostokrasavchik8837

Absolutely fantastic video! I learned so much. Thank you, Shea!

@MichaelMeltzer-x5c

This video is so good, I’m gonna watch it again, and take notes. Very helpful stuff!

@rjsophia3712

Great videos! Thank you for sharing your expertise.

@OfficialNPL

All these teachers talk about where one should target the ball but they never talk about how to control the ball and the process of aiming the ball with accuracy. Like you tell a beginner to accurately place the ball somewhere and watching that ball go somewhere else. That is my challenge when I am teaching my kids to play.
