Connor, out of all the pros you seem to have one of the best attitudes on court. I rarely see you frustrated or demoralized. As a viewer, I would love to know more about your perspective on competition, and what allows you to stay positive and present while you play.

Chris Olsen from Pickleball Studio I’m sure would be willing to give you ideas on how to improve your videos. You have great content and advice but as mentioned in some of the other comments it would be awesome to have more camera angles for many reasons. I’m a fan and just wanting to see you succeed in all that you do.

if your opponent hits a topspin drive to your backhand, are you going to try to put topspin on it with your twoey or just kind of smack it? ive noticed when i try to reverse topspin i get less rpms probably just a skill issue lol

When someone hits topspin you get less rpms when you hit a topspin shot back but I don’t let their shot dictate if I’m hitting topspin back but it is something to be aware of for sure

Nice but how big is the top spin. The paddle is rated to more than 2000 RPM, why can’t it be realized in the drive shot?
@congarnett
4 ай бұрын
The drive shot if I am hitting through the court because it is a faster shot will naturally have a little less spin because the ball doesn’t stay on the paddle as long. It will still have spin though for sure and that is coming from the brush at the end (I.e. turning the wrist over right after content / brushing up the back of the ball) but some of the passing shots or slower drives you will see even more spin because you are going up the back of the ball even more. Hope that clarifies things

YOU ARE NOT HITTING WITH YOUR LEGS!!!!! Other pros and instructors have said to stay low in the follow-through, to not use legs, which is what you actually do in the video. I slowed your video down and can easily see that you are stable when you hit and follow through the ball. Yet you are telling us to use our legs, use them to drive into and through the ball. Actually, some of the backhands you hit are while jumping up and jumping back. This video is confusing. Down thumb.
@congarnett
4 ай бұрын
Using the legs means moving through the shot. The weight transfer through with the legs along with the hips and core is where the power comes from so yes to your point I am stable through the ball and I am not lifting which is what you are referring to

@@congarnett Just wanted to say you're really kind for responding gracefully to these crazy comments. Watching you play PPA at the Red Rock Open was one of the highlights of the event for me. Love your channel and great video as always. The swing path of 2 points of contact for aiming down the line is extremely helpful. Can't wait to watch your next pro event.

No disrespect but you need a better videographer and probably one or two more camera angles. It would be nice to see where the ball is going. At least cut to a wide angle. Great content, otherwise.

Majority of the videos about the drive shot (including pros) say you should hit it at 70% power but would you agree that there are times where pros like you just whack the ball super hard? Do you use eastern for FH drives at the baseline and switch to continental at the NVZ? What about your grip for drops? Not everyone has spacious courts, I wonder how do you pros return and deal with perfectly deep serves when you're playing on courts that's like separated by tennis nets our fence and you only have like at most 6ft of room form the baseline.
@congarnett
4 ай бұрын
70% is great unless it’s a super high sitter you can’t miss. I use a little bit to the right of a continental on fh for right hand and conti for bh and same at NVZ. Deep serves it’s all about shortening the swing and overdoing the legs. Hope that helps

5:05 love the “heel toe” tip. Haven’t heard that from anyone else and that thought helps me remember to keep my weight going forward, especially on backhand.
