Watch normal amateur non pro pickleball players on their quest to 5.0 pickleball 2020-2021. Improve your game! Pickleball games for all skill levels. This channel is dedicated to all the gold seeking Pickleballers out there who dink responsibly and stay out of the kitchen. 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, but we concentrate on the 4.0 pickleball, 4.5 pickleball and up to 5.5 pickleball with the pros. Pickleball games for all skill levels.
what's up youtube this is keith
valentine the pickleball pirate and i've
got
a great show for you today we're at
saturday morning doing some advanced
play you've got me
keith valentine the pickleball pirate
we've got
joey the gun show gumiere we got mr
rob pass waters we haven't come up with
a good nickname for him yet
and we've got mark naportovich the
russian assassin
enjoy the games folks
all right everyone welcome to saturday
morning advanced play
today you've got me and joey the gun
show on the other side we are going to
be playing
mark the russian assassin who's serving
and mr
rob pass waters who's playing with mark
and we got started off with a little bit
of a fast flick action there
bang bang boom point was over here we go
i'm serving 0-0
good deep return by mark
yep i wasn't able to get up under that
one now that was one that joey should
have probably reset
you know we were in the middle of the
line he wasn't putting any pressure on
them from there
so when you're stuck in no man's land
you got to do something with the shot
get up to the net or you know get into a
a heated battle just to get up to the
net
got a good drop shot joey came across
and just took that
away that's called a bert a burt is when
you come
all the way across from the other side
to go around
the post or on the outside of it
it was almost a bird a little dink
battle here
oh and i want to have that one back i
had rob everywhere i wanted him to be
and i just did not finish the shot there
i am practicing in the air because
yeah i'm a little upset by that one
remember folks you want to keep them
back as best you can
now good dink battle here between me and
rob he hit the net twice in a row on
that
and i have no clue why joey was trying
to lob there lobs are not
typically a good shot in pickleball
unless you put them very deep
and very high to give yourselves time to
get established
to potentially play defense there
thank you and once again see rob was
giving me the line
i did not notice it i hit to the middle
you know you really have to pay
attention to where your
opponent is standing and take advantage
of the open areas
rob wants that one back missed the dink
two one here we go
good deep return trying to keep him back
rob now see rob didn't set his feet you
know folks when you when you're trying
to hit a shot
it's best to set your feet before you
hit it set your feet then hit your shot
then move up to the net and above all
don't miss your serves
joey tends to do that a lot he tries to
rip the cover off the ball
you know take a little bit of something
off of it make sure it's in so you don't
cost yourself a chance to earn points
all right once again we're in a dink
battle i'm very comfortable in this
position
i um put a lot of pressure on people in
the dink
that's one of my specialties i am the
dink master of winter garden
see once again joey sped that up um
really had no purpose on that shot
really want to have a purpose with it
um he kind of half hit it he didn't
really
have a lot of energy on that shot i
think he was really cramping really bad
his calves were really hurting him
so i'm gonna give him grace with that
because the guy was in pain
he loves this new electrum paddle he's
playing with he can put tons of spin on
it so what you're going to see a lot
from him today is just a little bit of
raphael nadal
shots here he's going to just be putting
some pressure
on everyone by putting spin
all kinds of spin on the ball
now rob put that one up in my backhand i
was able to get a hand on it
and uh put the ball away
remember folks you want to get up to the
net you want to hit nice soft shots get
up to the net
or at least have a purpose with your
shot but the goal is to get up there
so you can defend the line
i want that one back
i think that was it i think they cheated
there i'm just saying
before
see joey's not moving good you can tell
he's really in pain there
he barely was able to move for that ball
but he's toughing it out
he's manning up and playing
here we go good deep return
once again joey put a lot of pressure
with that top spin shot
rob couldn't get it down low enough i
was able to put it away
yeah joey tends to move his feet a lot
when he hits um you know just
just for those of you learning it you
know that's not necessarily a good
tactic is you want to set your feet and
establish your weight
and then hit the shot and especially you
know
you want to try and be moving your
weight towards the net when you do hit
should we put that one up a little too
high mark was able to
get it by me
four four one two five two
he wants that one back you better watch
that
5'4
it's a good drive by rob you know you
know drives to the middle are not a bad
shot
especially when you can keep them low
like that you want them to be
right at net level with some power
uh puts a lot of pressure on your
opponents and just the same thing with
there i dinked right in the middle and
then they got confused on who was going
to hit the shot
so middle shots are always always
hit to the middle solve the riddle
yeah it's fun when mark does a little
bit of twitch there so every time you
see him look like he's having an
apoplectic
seizure he's um he doesn't know if the
ball is going over and he's trying to
use some body language to get it over
you know a lot of golfers will do that
bowlers you know
for some reason mentally we just think
if we lean our body or move our body
it's going to affect the ball that's
already left us but nope
not the case
yeah that was what we call with the net
a little bit of
body action on rob with the use of the
net
five to five
see i got that drive way too high i was
not
getting my feet set and i'm catching the
ball
too far um
behind me and so i'm lifting the ball up
instead of catching it in the nice
contact point
and keeping the ball low sometimes you
get caught with a bad grip
all right now we're getting into it once
again
you know they're they're kind of leaving
it hanging up there and i got a pretty
decent backhand when i can slap it
i don't have a good backhand roll that's
one of the shots i'm working on it's a
great shot to have in pickleball as a
backhand roll
been working on that
see once again i'm getting caught with
my weight going backwards
uh and that's why that drive is is
staying
up high so i'm falling backwards on my
back
right foot and my weight is not moving
towards the net
and we we served out of order there i
served twice in a row
so um we lost that's a fault you've got
to serve an order
why do i do that
mark's talking to himself there because
he didn't hit a good third shot joey was
able to put some lumber on it and do
something with it
yeah peter what i'm saying you're
standing here your partner's standing
here and once again they call that out
i questioned the judges on that one that
would that would have been a lion call
on the judge there i've been like hey
i don't know how he saw behind his head
as i lifted it over him
once again see i'm putting a lot of
pressure on mark moving him all over the
place
and he can't handle it
so you know when you're digging with
people never dink in the same place more
than a couple times and you know i
apologize here for the camera somebody
on the other side
hit the camera so we're gonna have a
little bit of weird action here
maybe give it a little perspective like
we're
you know doing some good cinematography
here
um i'll get it fixed here before the
next game
only a couple minutes we have to deal
with this game's about to be over anyway
[Music]
once again you got to have a purpose
there folks
you know you don't want to just try and
get the ball over you want to get the
ball
somewhere to make the the opponent move
you want to take control of the point by
taking control of the point
you just are making them react to you
versus you reacting to them so move them
around
hit with a purpose pick a spot on the
court a lot of times i'll pick a spot on
the court i'll do four corners
and try to hit all four corners in a
dink battle you know things like that
to make it where you're doing something
rather than just getting the ball over
you see joey's moving all over the place
and once again
backhand roll if i had that backhand
roll shot i would have ended that point
right there
um working on it working on it please
forgive me
nice job here dinking um
but once again he's trying to put too
much spin on it you know it's really
hard to put
spin on dinks it just you have to put so
much motion into the ball
and it's really short distance it has to
travel
so you're not going to get as much spin
as you would think you would
and so you know just learn not to do it
that's just my advice
rob played good defense there i put it
back to the middle rob was waiting on it
was able to block it back
you know one of the things about
starting off the ball hard if your
partner's not ready for it
you know you're putting him in a bad
position i put joey in a really bad
position there because i didn't
do a whole lot with that shot and that's
the game folks
i'm not going to let you hear me ramble
for the next one i'll be fixing the
camera here in a second
um so enjoy the games thanks for
