Hola. Hello. Konichiwa. After 40 years playing tennis, I am now a full-time pickleball player and professional. As a 5.0 rated Senior Pro Pickleball Player and an IPTPA-certified Master Teaching Professional, my focus is on helping players like you learn to play their best pickleball. In 2016, shortly after starting to play pickleball, my friend Tom and I jumped into the highest division at the first US Open in Naples, Florida. That morning it became clear just how much there is to learn in this seemingly simple sport – a lifetime of learning if you so choose. Since 2018, I have been on a mission to share my knowledge of pickleball so other players can enjoy the game at a higher level and attain their pickleball objectives. When not studying or playing pickleball, I like to travel with my other half, Jill.

At time 4:55 Colin dinked to the middle. I seems he could have hit a shot down the line (passing shot) on his side of the court. His opponent (across the net from him) was shifted more to the middle of the court.
Keep those game breakdowns coming.
Happy New Year to you Tony and CJ.
Hi Steve, sure he may have missed an opening, it happens to everyone.
