  1. Using the Right Fourth Shot! 🎯 ⭐️ Ball below the net: Concede the net—don’t give away a free point! Stay in the rally and earn your way back to the kitchen. Hit this ball soft, crosscourt, and into the kitchen. ⭐️ Ball at net height: Roll it! Use topspin and aim at your opponent’s feet. Stay semi-aggressive by forcing them to hit one more reset. Don’t try to blast it—spin is more important than pace here. ⭐️ Ball above the net: Destroy it! Hit aggressively down through the ball. This is a put-away opportunity, so pace matters more than spin. Finish the point when you get the chance. ….. #pickleball #pickleballislife #pickleballtips #pickleballstrategy #pickleballcoach
    23k
  2. No more Chopping 🪵! ⭐️ When you hit slice dinks, get your paddle below the ball before you start your swing! ⭐️ We don’t want to hit it like a tennis slice where we swing high to low. That sends the ball too deep and makes it harder to control. ⭐️ Remember, the dink is a soft shot. Focus on pushing the ball and adding a little slice rather than trying to cut it hard. ….. #pickleballislife #pickleball #pickleballtips #pickleballcoaching #propickleball

  3. Become an expert dinker! 🥒 ⭐️ Slice to Slice: This is the foundation of great dinking. Slice dinks build control and consistency, helping you keep the ball in play. They won’t create as much pressure as a roll, but they’re the base every player needs. ⭐️ Roll to Slice: One player rolls every dink while the other only slices. The roller’s job is to create pressure, while the slicer learns to absorb that pressure and stay consistent. Switch roles after a few minutes. ⭐️ Reach or Short Hop: One player rolls dinks, and the other looks to take them out of the air whenever possible. If you can’t reach it, short hop the ball instead. This drill teaches you how to apply pressure without giving away unnecessary dink errors. ….. #pickleball #pickleballislife #pickleballtips #pickleballcoaching #propickleball

  2. The goal has been set. When you’re preparing for a tournament, you don’t just practice what you’re already good at-you target the gaps. @iamjamiefoxx and I identified his return as a major area of need, so we broke the process down from the ground up. We focused heavily on the mechanics of the return itself: loading the legs and intentionally pushing through the ball, rather than just slapping at it. From there, it’s about the transition—using that forward momentum to follow the flight of the ball straight to the kitchen line. To make the muscle memory stick, we wrapped up with a match-like sequence to finish the drill. Simulating that real-game pressure is what bridges the gap between practice and tournament day. The work is getting real. 📈 🎥: @chance.mitchelll

  1. I was glad to see Vinnie playing with Jeff Beck years back because the grooves on stage were just badass. @talmeastory just emerged on the music scene and was playing with masters and holding her own and then some. #drums #music #drummer #beats #vinniecolaiuta #groove #jeffbeck #talwilkenfeld Here they are playing Stratus, the classic Billy Cobham song.

  3. Vinnie is famous for a lot of reasons, but what I’ve heard other musicians say more than anything about him is his ability to sight-read charts and nail a first take.

  1. This serve wins points before the rally even starts. The screwball serve is all about deception, spin, and late movement, not power. It looks routine out of the hand. Then it breaks the opposite way at the last second. Why the screwball serve works: • Pulls receivers out of position • Forces weak returns or mishits • Disrupts timing and footwork • Sets up easy third shots • Works even without extra speed If you want to add variety to your pickleball serve, create free points, and keep returners guessing, the screwball belongs in your arsenal. #pickleball #pickleballserve #screwballserve #pickleballtips #pickleballtraining pickleballcoach pickleballstrategy pickleballdrills pickleballimprovement pickleballplayers pickleballcontent pickleballlife

  2. This is the new-age backhand flick in pickleball. It is not the traditional block. It is not a roll volley. It is a compact counter built for modern hands battles. This version uses a slightly western, frying-pan style grip to keep the paddle face open and accelerate the ball with almost no backswing. Why high-level players use it: • Generates pace with minimal motion • Works when you are late or jammed • Punishes body speed-ups • Adds deception in fast exchanges • Keeps opponents guessing at the kitchen This shot is niche for a reason. It requires control, timing, and discipline. Used correctly, it is a weapon. Used incorrectly, it pops up. If you want to upgrade your hands game, counter speed-ups with confidence, and add a modern option to your backhand, this is worth learning.

  3. This is one of the smartest ways to attack in pickleball. It is called attacking the triangle. When two opponents are at the kitchen, they naturally protect the lines. That creates a shared danger zone between them. That zone is the triangle. Instead of aiming wide, you attack: • The inside hip • The inside shoulder • The space between paddles • The feet where communication breaks down Why this works: • Both players hesitate • Responsibility becomes unclear • Blocks float instead of reset • Errors happen without extra speed This is not about hitting harder. It is about forcing indecision. The best attackers in pickleball do not look for winners. They look for confusion. If you want to win more hands battles, stop getting clean blocks back, and apply pressure with control, this concept matters.
