Hi Jo, Glad you are watching so quickly and regularly. The captions are in process and coming soon. All of the other videos should have captions. Enjoy.
Once could also, instead of the tennis hopper that holds around 20 balls, buy The Pic35, which holds 35 balls, or the Pic65, that holds 65 balls. Both have a base that makes it a hopper as well. Plus, each picks up balls that are not hit directly to the teachers aid, which is most common in beginner players.
Hi Dave thanks for watching and sharing. Feel free to reply and let folks know where they can get more information. All the best.
Players can go to pickleballpic.com to view videos and devices we use to do drill work. One thing not shown: We attach a dole pin (1/2-3/4″) to each net post. We then run a “Crime Scene” yellow tape, twisted, the entire distance along the top of the net. The tape is attached to the poles with small bungee cords at enable us to raise and lower the height above the top of the net. A great teaching aid to help the player understand the importance of hitting the ball low over the net – as opposed to learning by “eating” shots the opponents hit because your return was too high.
