  1. I am convinced this is 8.0 level pickleball. Every shot here is perfect and the ones that aren’t are followed up with a perfect reset or counter. The pace and spin combined with the placement and depth of each shot is ridiculous. People like to say “pickleball is easy” and to the untrained eye dinks, resets, and 3rd’s might seem that way. We hear “why are they hitting the ball so soft?” from those who are clearly ignorant. Pickleball level is at an all-time high. As paddles get faster and balls get harder the ability to execute shots at the level these four ladies are in this video is insanely difficult. 📈 follow @thekitchenpickleball for more pickleball!

  3. 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

  2. A pic of Ashley, me, Big Al & Julian. If you haven’t heard, Big Al passed away. He was such a teddy bear- always smiling and happy in every room he walked in. He brought that feel good energy to his Good Day segments. He loved meeting people and getting to know viewers. I know he loved being on TV and radio. In my mind, I can picture Big Al grinning from ear to ear, walking his walk into a beautiful heaven, his favorite R&B music playing, turning to God and saying “Stop playin!” Rest in peace Al. You’ll be missed. Visit @bigalsams for more pics.

  1. Pickleball Kitchen Rules📋 Legal ✅ ✅ Hitting the ball from inside the kitchen after it bounces ✅ Hitting the ball in the air while standing outside the kitchen line ✅ Hitting the ball in the air after jumping over the kitchen (Erne) ✅ Hitting the ball in the air after reestablishing both feet outside of the kitchen Illegal ❌ ❌ Hitting the ball in the air while standing inside or on the kitchen line. ❌ Touching the kitchen (or your paddle touching it) after hitting the ball in the air. Can’t let your momentum pull you in the kitchen. ❌ Not reestablishing both feet outside the kitchen before hitting the ball in the air. #pickleball #propickleball #pickleballtips #pickleballcoaching #pickleballhighlights

  2. Wall Drills for Faster Hands, Touch + Control🔥 1️⃣ Alternate FH and BH volleys: start slow and gradually pick up the pace as you get more consistent. 2️⃣ Alternate speed ups and resets (consistency > speed) #pickleball #propickleball #pickleballtips #pickleballcoaching #pickleballhighlights

  3. Want a bigger serve?💥 1️⃣ Bend your knees and load with a wide, athletic stance 2️⃣Toss the ball out in front 3️⃣ Lag your wrist with a low-to-high swing for that “whip” effect 4️⃣ Transfer your weight forward with strong hip and core rotation #pickleball #propickleball #pickleballtips #pickleballcoaching #pickleballhighlights

  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.
