Hello and thanks for tuning in to my YouTube channel pickle ball pick aart my name is Rory I take pickle ball games off of YouTube and I pick apart to play on the court watching my videos will help make you a better pickle ball player in this video a 5.0 gold medal men’s doubles match the teams take a little bit of a different approach to.

Getting to the nonv Zone after hitting a third shot one team relies more on a third shot drop than they do a third shot drive while the other team hits more or third shot drives which team comes out on top watch and find out but first a big thank you to the YouTube channel Landon Wilson for posting this video let’s go here’s the first.

serve let’s go back and take a look at what happened here first of all a very nice third shot drop look at that right into the kitchen this guy is going to hit a cross Court dink followed by another crosscourt Dink and that ball was just hit too high you can see he was able to take that ball out of the air he.

Did not have to let it bounce and he speeds it up and hits the guy with the backwards cap on uh right to the middle of his chest which is a very good place to aim okay if you saw what happened there he hits this serve with s Spin and it ends I’m getting him in trouble because he hits it into the net watch.

Here Sid spin right into the net I know it’s early maybe they nerves get to them a little bit you’ve got to be ready at the very beginning of a batch let’s see if he continues to do that that is a totally different serve no side slice spin that was just excellent hands Watch What Happens here he’s going to hit a.

Third shot Drive and you think he can finish it off here with the shake and bake by driving the fifth shot but the opponent is able to get that back that’s just an excellent get oh he just kind of slips right there glad he’s not hurt that’s one way to pull a muscle that looked like a repeat of the very.

First shot the guy serving is very very good at this third shot here look at this that’s exactly where he put it on the very first serve of the game he is going crosscourt here once again only this time he hits it out of the court again look where they’re aiming for they’re aiming for the left side of the kitchen that’s the third time they.

Have hit a third shot there he is having to hit this ball uh standing straight up let’s see if he’s going to try to speed this ball up no he doesn’t that was the speed up and that got it done as you can see they are stacking here and he does it again that’s the third time he has hit a perfect third.

Shot drop to the corner of the Court speed UPS nice quick Hands by both players I’m just loving the way this guy right here is hitting those third shots trying to reset it did it that ball was in the court so these points are kind of looking similar third shot drops followed by some dinks then sped up and.

The team with the fastest hands wins the point can’t handle it there was a lot going on in this point let’s watch what happens here here’s that third shot again and it’s a drop they’re aiming for the guy in white every time sped it up right there got lucky that it hit the top of the tape sped up again and if you notice what the player.

In white in the far Court did he aimed for the player in Blue’s midsection and it just worked out perfectly let’s see what these guys do with the thir shot that’s a very shallow return he’s able to drive it and put it down the line at the 5.0 level a very shallow return like that usually does not turn out.

Well that’s much much deeper backhand third shot and he did not get up to the kitchen quick enough and get established let’s go back and take a look watch right here very nice return that’s a good third shot but he was still moving forward and could not get to that bom hit right at his feet with Top Spin excellent job sometimes it’s about.

Footwork and his footwork was just not very good during that point perfect some really good shots here let’s start off with the return this return is much deeper than his previous one was great third shot when and got it just hit a little bit too high he’s able to put that ball away I’m kind of surprised these points.

Are ending so quickly I thought that some of them would last longer let’s let’s see if that actually does happen there you go again they’re aiming for that same part of the Court every third shot it did not work out for them that time changed it up reset it okay so look right here watch what he.

Tries to do look where he’s trying to speed that ball up did you see that right here if you’ll notice the ball is at his knees right here he tries to speed this ball up and it’s just impossible to do the ball was just not high enough for him to attempt a speed up on that shot if you try that it’s either going to go into the net or out.

Of the Court nice reset oh my goodness that was just incredible the only mistake that I can see is one player hit a ball that was going out but this is just high level play excellent hand eye coordination I think that’s the one that was going out of the Court the team in the back.

Court wins the point anyway exceptional third shot Drive nice defense that third shot Drive did allow the team in the far Court to move forward I mean that ball was driven extremely hard here we go again can’t handle that one so these teams are taking different approaches to the third.

Shot there we go again the team in the back court is driving the third shot the team in the near court is dropping the third shot there you go again he can’t handle it second time hit it to his midsection tried to hit it with his backand and was not successful that ball is out of the Court.

Nice job not hitting it so again two different strategies let’s see if the power game wins or the soft game wins a quick timeout to tell you about my online pickleball store pickleball printables tocom where you will find the coolest pickle ball swag on the planet t-shirts coffee mugs tumblers totes caps and kiss.

So the team in the back court is changing things up sometimes they drive it sometimes they drop it they are very good doing either that’s out of the Court sometimes that drive will get you in trouble if you don’t put enough Top Spin on it but as an opponent when uh they drive the ball you have to know what going.

Out oh that’s the first third shot they’ve missed uh when trying to drop it okay let’s see drive or drop nice try with the drop the reason he did that is he was falling back right here see that he just could not drive it he tried the third shot drop it because he was falling back he wasn’t able to.

Get it over the net a very nice return it was very deep let’s go back and take a look again another nice deep return the player in white was in the transition zone and the player in blue just hit it at his feet so very nice job by the player in blue in the near Court perfect.

Out of the Court oh he missed another one I think they were not sure who was going to re turn that third shot let’s see if that’s what happened here yeah they both kind of went to get it I think their paddles actually clicked I would think that is the player with the forehand I think that is their.

Shot yep just popped it up too high the guys in the back court are just really good with their hands there’s a drive shake and bake pretty much put the fifth shot away as you can see on the third shot drives they are hitting they are targeting the player in blue.

Hit it into the net oh it’s out of the court that was interesting CU I really thought the player in blue could have taken one of these out of the air let’s see which one it was right there I think he could have reached in taken that ball out of the.

Air he decides to hit it on the bounce and he wins the point so good job think he could have gone either way on that nice job resetting wow got up to the net and the player in white just hit it out of the Court good defense trying to speed it up there I think is what happened let’s take a look yeah.

Tried to speed it up and just hit it right into his putaway Zone sometimes at this level just keep thinkinking be a little bit more patient there’s the drive oh he got that oh man that’s worth going take a look at again there were some great gets here here comes the serve watch this get right here right.

There guy in blue missed it guy in white got it he gets this one good hands there’s the drive and he hit it out of the Court he had the opportunity just barely missed it keep him back there if you can now that’s a great reset to get to the non Valley Zone sped it up get it out of the Court 8 to five now the team in the far.

Court is ahead let’s see if the team in the near Court can get some points here they’re serving no goodbye he tried he he again he tried to do that little sneak attack lob did not work watch the reset Here There It Is watch the speed up goes right into the net it’s the second speed up that they.

Hit into the net the ball ball has to be just a little bit higher oh he drove it that time the guy in blue was waiting for it the player in white of course could not move up and he could not get the next shot over the net that’s one drive they tried and it has not worked Drive no that’s third shot drop attempt F shot reset attempt.

Couldn’t get either one of them and they end up paying for it drive he got it that time oh out of the Court wow a lot of players are going to stick their paddle up and hit this right here oh he lets it go perfect a lot of times if a player takes a full swing in the transition zone it’s going out of the.

Court there’s that perfect third shot drop oh easy put away this game’s getting very interesting 8 to seven now the team in the far court has the lead that was out of the Court have a tie game now again in pickle ball no matter how far you are behind don’t give.

Up a lot of times it’s a game of scoring runs this guy is just great at hitting that third shot drop into the left side of the opponent’s Court couldn’t quite get that backhand reset who wants it more stuck at the back making his way up nice job.

perfect absolutely perfect shot did it again that’s twice in a row the balls just hit a little bit too high and it was put away by hitting it into the middle of the Court very nice Court awareness by the players in the back Court Drive coming up here it’s out of.

The Court that’s the third Drive they have hit out of the court on the third shot oh he tried it again and it cost him the game at least the last point in the game as the team in the far Court wins the first game 11 to8 this is a best two out of three I’ve fast forwarded to the end of the second game the score here is.

1012 oh he did it again he has like a patent on that shot right down the middle now the team in the near court has control of the ball two more points and they win the game and they also win the match oh he missed it that time watch what he does here here comes the third shot he’s already at the nonb Zone not.

Knowing if his partner’s third shot was good enough to move forward he tried to take it out of the air uh but was not able to do so oh my did you see that I don’t know this is the first time I have seen this watch his back swing look at this wow did you see that look at this back swing this is a windmill back swing I don’t see a lot of pickle ball players.

Swing like this maybe he’s a tennis player but that is not a pickle ball forehand not when a player takes a wind up like that that was kind of like a windmill I mean I don’t know if he did that throughout the game but I did not notice it no uh-uh I don’t know what he was thinking but wow just don’t see that very often here’s the chance for the.

Team in the back court to take this game and even up the match oh put it away now look real close here I think perhaps when he hits this Ernie his foot is on the line let’s see let’s see here uh it was it definitely was but there is a line judge and he did not call it I think that was a mistake yeah that was a mistake his foot.

Was on the line let me know if you disagree this is gain Point here nope can’t get it done here’s their second opportunity third shot Drive Goodbye Oh no he was able to get that what watch how quick his hands are I thought it was put away right.

There nope and the game continues fast fast hands popped out of the Court nice very nice he did a little scorpion there look right here watch right here there it is not really a scorpion but almost a scorpion.

Wow he got that on around the post and that wins the second game for them oh perfect I don’t know if that’s surprised him or what but now the match is tied one game a piece here’s the end of the third game with James and Evan ahead 10 to four now 10 to5 James and Evan are the team in the near.

Court can’t get it over the net oh my look at this backhand flick on the third shot drive here we go man just perfect that is side out now James and Evan have a chance to take home the gold medal right here nice third shot backhand drop and that’s the match James and Evan.

Take home the gold a very tightly uh contested match and went to a third game and uh really enjoyed watching it I hope you did as well so there you have it a 5.0 gold medal match that went the distance four excellent players who put out full effort in going for the gold congratulations to the team that won that’s it from pick aall pick aart I.
