Topspin Pro’s all-standing pickleball leg-strength session keeps the paddle in hand: side-step curls, star-jump lateral steps, shadow FH dink → BH volley (and reverse), single-leg taps front/side/back, plus core-balance holds.
tanner.pickleball’s three tips he wishes he’d learned earlier:
Selkirk TV opens PT Landon Newts’ “strong and mobile after 55” course with a living-room baseline — not a pass/fail test.
Universal Rackets flips the “always cover middle” mantra: the #1 reason you get passed down the line is overshading for the forehand and abandoning the line.
Selkirk TV’s PT lesson targets the most common pickleball complaint: knee pain (arthritis, meniscus irritation, patellofemoral pain, stiffness).
Richard Pickleball fixes the left-side chicken wing when the ball sits in the middle.
Universal Rackets breaks down getting to wide balls: hop, then shift — light feet with heels never parked on the ground. Pair that with an early paddle read and the down-the-line pass stops being free.
John Cincola’s beginner-friendly accuracy game: play half-court dinks like a normal game to 11, but each side has three cones with balls on them.
Troy Akin pushes back on “third-shot drops are dead.” Driving every third isn’t the answer — you still have to arrive at the kitchen. Start with a drop, move your feet, get behind the ball, and close so you’re up by the fifth shot.
Jilly B coaches her wife Kristin’s two-handed backhand counter from a “reachy stabby” 3.5 into a trustworthy high-level shot.
