  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

  3. The “controlled volley drill” is so much harder than it looks! When you try this for the first time you’ll see how quickly you devolve into fast hands and short rallies. Which is not the goal! Can you do this 10 balls in a row? Twenty? Congrats, that means you’re finally FEELING the ball stay on your paddle longer and you’re CONTROLLING exactly where and at what speed you want it to go. I’ll never forget the day my coach @coachcrandall.pb told me I needed to go out and hit 100 ultra controlled volley dinks to different spots in the kitchen. It made no sense to me. Until I did it. I realized he was totally right: controlling your volleys is game changing - it means that you can now control your speed-ups (what separates the volley and the speed-up is essentially just a few more MPH—they are almost the same shot). Which means you can decide at the last minute whether to volley dink OR speed up OR lob, etc. Your whole world opens up suddenly. Bonus: this drill also improves your fast hands in addition to your dinking, ball control and speed-ups. @thrive.pb FURY out now. Code JILLYB #pickleball #pickleballpro #pickleballdrills

  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!

  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

  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.
