An Epic Drone Angle to Learn THIS One Skill

May 02, 2024

Hey!

Before we keep going, welcome back to another edition of the blog. If you’re new to the blog and want to go back and check out past editions, go here!

Today’s edition has three parts:

1. Details of The Game (Video) – The String Concept.

2. A Helpful Tip – See the Game like the Pros.

3. Update on My Journey Playing Pro – My 1st tournament back.

Details of The Game (Video):

Plane and simple. Filming with a drone is awesome. You can film from different angles you wouldn’t typically view the game from. 

Which is exactly what you’ll see in today’s breakdown. 

We’re going directly overhead to watch how you can (better) know when to lean in at the kitchen and attack a ball at your opponents. 

Enjoy👇

A Helpful Tip:

My new youtube video was released on Tuesday, and it has had great feedback so far! 

___________

  • "Not only is this the best instructional pickleball video but also one of the best instructional videos ever." - Juan 
  • "Really good video Kyle. I especially loved the stuff at the end about recognition and flipping defense into offense." - Steve 

___________

In case you missed it, the video covers how pros see the game on these 4 specific topics. 

  1. Spin strategy
  2. Serve strategy 
  3. 3rd shot drop strategy 
  4. Defense to offense strategy

Update on My Journey Playing Pro: 

The last couple weeks have been awesome! I’ve been on court twice a day (almost every day) training.

Lots of gratitude.

Lots of frustration &

Lots of soreness. 😂

Gratitude because I love to play this game and injury reminds you of that.

Frustration because I’ve been beat up by my buddies who have raised their game since we last played.  

And soreness as I’ve been doing extra practicing singles, in addition to mixed doubles and mens doubles. I'll play all three events in Cincinatti.

Singles is tough… 

Especially for a guy like me who didn’t grow up with an extensive tennis background. BUT, the main reason I’m doing it is because... 

  1. Serves & returns are everything in singles, and it's a great way to get more reps at those two things to improve my doubles game. 
  2. Fitness - Over the last year I’ve lifted weights 2-3x a week, but my cardiovascular fitness has just been so-so. So this is helping me get back in great shape.

In closing, I have no clue how I'll perform in Cincinnati next week, but as some smart person somewhere once said...

The journey continues!

Talk next week,

Kyle
