This channel is dedicated to all the gold seeking Pickleballers out there who dink responsibly and stay out of the kitchen. We have all levels come through the channel, but we concentrate on the 4.0s, 4.5s and up to 5.5s.
I started this channel quite by accident, I was recording my games to do film study and get better. I did not have time or money for lessons from pro pickleball coach, so I started watching all my screwups. People that I was playing with started to ask if they could watch too and I said sure. That helped all of us a lot to improve our game, strategy, mental toughness, and techniques. Now we have new pickleball videos published several times a week. We occasionally have pro pickleball players on the channel. Mostly its non pro pickleball players on their quest to 5.0 pickleball. We have all levels come through the channel: 4.0 pickleball, 4.5 pickleball and up to 5.5 pickleball with the pros.

forget to have a good day what does
keith mean when he says well he's
running in a dink battle with me
backhand
that's where we want to get i just
haven't been able to get
a short enough shot
to get us up in there this is exactly
what he means by this next point
yep he's having trouble getting to the
kitchen because martin napotovich is
keeping him back with that fourth shot
by being super aggressive that's exactly
what he's saying andrew left his third
shot a little too high and it put keith
in a tough position and mark who does
not want to think much gets exactly what
he wants take a look at this next point
now this is what keith wants
a beautiful third shot drop it gets him
into the dinkin war and mark who's in
the near left-hand corner does not want
to dink he wants to speed it up because
he wants to win the point by not
thinking much at all he has made his
game around attacking by keeping people
deep by being aggressive and that's what
this video today i'm doing is about how
do you win a tournament by dinkin the
bad essential magnapotovich like i said
play senior pro really freaking good and
he's not the best stinker he isn't i'm
sorry more you're not
there's a couple steps you can use to
dink very little and win
you have a really
deep return i prefer slice slice returns
really bite they change direction and
they're tougher for your opponents to
drop or drive trust me
take a look at mark's return it's sliced
it stays very low it makes andrew's
third shot drop very tough and they took
advantage he couldn't hit that more
perfect that's right keith he couldn't
have hit it anymore perfect there's a
really good video i made on slicing the
return check it out it's in the top
right hand corner here's a look one more
time martin a part of it slice that
return nice and deep andrew actually hit
a decent third shot drop mark johnson
hits a beautiful two-handed backhand i
would have liked to see keith be a
little
take the fourth shot out of the air with
spin and power i like to get under it
really brush up on it keep them deep hit
it at their feet mix in a four shot drop
shot once again sporadically keep your
opponents back that's what mark johnston
who's playing the us open at 5.0 does
keeps them back even when keith tries to
get up he approaches a little too fast
and they see that so if the opponent is
approaching a little faster go at his
feet if you can but he went actually in
the middle and that works and mark
napotovich is ready to put it away and
they keep him back they don't have to
dink that's what this video is about now
mark johnson could have conceded the
dinkin war right here he's a good dinker
but he kind of pushed the issue so
that's a fine line sometimes i get in
trouble doing that three drive your
third shot this provides opportunities
for the shaking okay you can also drop
with a lot of spin sometimes this is
actually more effective in doing the
chicken date it really is
now they do not do the shake and bake
this point but take a look top right
hand corner i've done a video on shake
and bake in the past but right here
marking the part of it just has a
beautiful drop with spin keep it out of
the air
and why did he take it out of the air no
and then that one i missed keith no
yelling i'm trying to commentate so mark
hits it with a lot of spin and keith
does not let that bounce why because
that spin really stays low keith does
the right thing takes it out of the air
but mark gets to the kitchen he
approaches slowly but he's constantly
looking to attack and that's exactly
what he does one more time mark slices
under that he's not going too fast it's
a constant motion if you accelerate too
fast you can get a lot of things that
can go wrong
and he really approaches and that's
strategically he's not shaking bacon but
that's a good video and he attacks four
whenever you get a dead dink speed it up
strategically go at the right elbow for
a right-handed player look to win on the
continuation but speed it up when you
get a dead thing that's all i'm saying
mo napotovic is constantly looking to
attack he's in the top right hand corner
and take a look at this point it looks
like keith and andrew are gonna get to
the kitchen pretty easily
and they somewhat do keith probably just
slow that down but mark recognizes it
and we're gonna go in slow motion i know
it's confusing people so it hits the net
mark pretty much plays it as a dead dink
attacks keith most people would have
just hit a dink there and got into the
dinkin war but mark wants to speed it up
he knows exactly what he's doing he's
looking to put away the next ball not
the put away and that's very smart take
a look at it one more time he hits
keith's right elbow keith falls back and
then they get control of the point you
don't have to hit a winner off that
first speed up you know and he puts it
away it makes it that much sweeter five
i like to call this the wild card if you
have a really good push thing push tanks
really stay lower they bite through the
court people might stop going to you in
a tournament and they'll go to your
partner this happens to me in a
tournament a lot my partner gets
targeted because i have some good push
tanks i set it up a good speed ups and
they get afraid to go to me then they go
to my partner which is a better drinker
i try to get good dinking partners it's
my secret i just give away all my
secrets on these tutorials because i
love pickleball pickleball has given so
much to me and i get back mark johnson
is in their near left-hand corner he's
playing the us open and a lot of events
and we're gonna go in slow motion but
what happened this point mark johnson
has a beautiful push tank and keeps
keith on the defensive
one more i believe he hits one more push
think right here it's so good and keith
decides to change direction because he
does not want to get in the dinkin war
with mark johnston who is one of the
most vicious senior dinkers of the tight
and here it is one more time basically
mark johnson is getting keith to change
directions because keith does not want
to get into a crazy dinking war with
mark johnston
now keith changes direction and market
tax so this is actually a really good
team they both play senior pro i don't
know if they've ever played together
yeah
pickleball lovers do you agree with me
some people could dink a lot less and
win tournaments
