  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.

  1. Knowledge bomb 💣 incoming: 90% of your pickleball shot happens before you touch the ball. That’s right, there are 3 simple things you can control without even touching a ball that impact the shot: 1.) Footwork 2.) Paddle Position and 3.) Posture I call this your proper pickleball hygiene. If you get those three things dialed in it’s pretty difficult to miss. Check out the full YouTube video and come see me in Newport Beach, Maui, Cabo & Grand Cayman next year —> FULL SCHEDULE IS UP NOW! Come see me in 2026!

  2. What’s the single easiest way to win a point in pickleball? Hit a dangerous serve. Notice how I didn’t say hit a “hard” serve. A hard mid-height serve is what your opponent wants. What they don’t want? The lob serve; the short serve. They don’t want to create their own pace. I tell all my students if you’re not missing one serve a game then I can promise that you’re also not winning any free points on your serve. It costs you nothing if you miss a serve and you could be gaining 3-4 totally free points per game with it. Having a dangerous serve takes no natural skill or talent— just you, a bucket of balls, and a court. Drop in the comments if you agree. 👇 For the past two months, I’ve been getting asked about the elongated FURY, and it’s finally on pre-sale. Thrivepb.com - Code JILLYB. Here’s how to hit this serve: - swing slower. This isn’t a fast swing. Feel your paddle on the ball for longer than normal. - if the ball is a clock, aim for 3:00 or 4:00 - slide to the outer edge of the court which will help create the angle Paddle and visor by @thrive.pb Code JILLYB Shoes by @mizunousa @hesacore_pickleball grips Code JILLYB Leg/knee sleeve @incrediwear Code JILLYB Energy by @drinkreignstorm #pickleball #pickleballtips #pickleballcoaching #serve #serves

  1. 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.

  2. Some anniversaries hit harder than others. 41 years since my mom died. These pictures made me smile, laugh, and cry. My brother Buddy called today and we both couldn’t believe so much time has gone by. Carrie Macuha was one special human being! She was the one that people turned to for advice. She was super funny and our cheerleader. She was generous and caring. Most of all, she wanted us to be happy. I wish my friends could have met her!

  3. Happy 30th Work Anniversary to Davey!!! We surprised him! Check video out! So funny! I think he was confused at first then got teary-eyed! Dave is well loved & respected not only by his Good Day TV family but by so many others that have come & gone. So many viewers love Dave because he cares deeply about people! Thank you to Fly Brave Foundation for hosting the surprise! Hope you had a wonderful morning Davey!!! Also, happy early birthday (10/1)!!! @gooddaygras

  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
