  1. Coaching break down 👇 ❌ this is an example of a forehand swing becoming too big. Pros like @tysonmcguffin have mastered the compact forehand technique. ✅ The technique of keeping the paddle on the wall will enable you to maintain a compact swing. In the video, you can see my hip becoming more active while my paddle is in contact with the wall. #pickleball #pickleballislife #pickleballtips #pickleballplayers #pickleballers #pickleballdrills #pickleballhighlights #pickleballtraining #pickleballplayer

  2. Instantly improve your dink doing this👇 Keep your wrist locked throughout the dink. Too many Pickleball players break their wrists when dinking, causing the ball to pop up. Due to its weight, the bean bag is a great way to force your wrist to remain locked. If you copy the same motion as throwing the bag, your technique should very quickly improve. #pickleball #pickleballislife #pickleballtips #pickleballplayers #pickleballers #pickleballdrills #pickleballhighlights #pickleballtraining #pickleballplayer

  3. Cross-court dink coaching break down👇 If you want to improve your cross-court dink consistency, you need to give this technique. 1) Focus on keeping your wrist bent forward while dinking. 2) Imagine you're scooping the ball cross-court, not hitting. 3) Follow the ball with your paddle after the ball is hit. If you apply these three factors, your cross-court dink should become a real weapon. Special sponsorship shout out to @kswissperformance for sending your shoes out for me to try. #pickleball #pickleballislife #pickleballtips #pickleballplayers #pickleballers #pickleballdrills #pickleballhighlights #pickleballtraining #pickleballplayer

  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.

  2. Here’s Vinnie telling the late great @global2dom how he won the Zappa gig. I went to a couple of cattle call auditions back in the 90s and it was very intimidating. #drums #music #frankzappa #zappa #vinniecolaiuta #audition

  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. Here he is kicking ass and taking names with J. Kimo Williams #drums #music #drummer #vinniecolaiuta #groove #studiomusician #musician

  2. Take The Ball OUT OF THE AIR 🏓⁠ ⁠ “Don’t just come here and chill.” Says Travis. We need to take away time from the opponent and put them on their heels because they have to respect the speed up.⁠ ⁠ Look to 1) take the ball out of the air or if you can’t then 2) take a step back and hit the ball at it’s highest point off of the bounce. ⁠ ⁠ #pickleballislife #pickleballinstruction #pickleballrocks #pickleballaddiction #pickleballers

  3. Want to be clear Joola has done nothing wrong, they made a great paddle. In fact one that is too good 😊. I commend the PPA Tour and Pro Pickle Labs for trying to get this right and protect the game. Showing up to Dallas however I heard the same sound from Joola players as they were playing with the pre-painted “Alpha”. I believe the technology is the same as that hollow sound and crazy spin were still obvious. As our testers know, RPM and exit velocity are the only things that matter and at the moment are almost impossible to test remotely. They are doing their best, but I think this is going to be a long term struggle between technology and what is good for the game. #pickleball #paddles #testing #fair #technology #evolution #safety #velocity #science
