Pickleball: No Lets & the New Drop Serve

While words may explain the new rules, not all the nuances are easily understood. With the new (and somewhat controversial) drop serve rule, I think the two videos below will clarify what IS an what IS NOT acceptable.

 

 

The video below is a conversation that explains the rules. It will furter help to explain and clarify some of the information presented by Jordan Briones in the tutorial above.

The Power of A Waterfall Torrent – Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 269

Vernal Falls water torrente

Vernal Fall creates a torrent

With the previous posts, we showed water from Vernal Fall rolling down the mountain toward the valley. The photographs showed only one example, but water may also be coming from other such depressions leading from the beginning of the fall’s dropoff.

As the waters roll down the mountain, they come together as they reach the Merced River and create the torrent shown above. I can attest that this water was flowing quickly and was very forceful.

The rushing water becomes so fierce at times that they have a very jarring warning sign placed near this spot which you can read about in a previous post by clicking HERE.

A Better view of the Vernal Fall water source

Perhaps yesterday’s photograph didn’t show the water from Vernal Falls as well as the photograph above which was zoomed in a bit more. You can more clearly see the white water trail finding its way between the trees and the rocky mountain.

To be continued with the next post showing a bit more of the power of waterfalls…

The Power of Waterfalls – Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 267

Vernal Falls water source

Vernal Falls water source

To appreciate the power of water and more particularly, the strength of cascading water emanating from a waterfall, one needs only to examine the cascading water’s route and the final rush as it enters the lower stream or river.

The phot0graph above shows part of the water flowing from Vernal Fall as it begins to find its way to Yosemite Valley. It may be a hard to make out, but the red arrows point to the white water coming off the mountain.

To be continued in the next post…

Strengthening the Pickleball Backhand

As the video points out, many players do not set up properly to get the most power from their backhand. They have their body facing the net squarely which leaves primarily an arm motion to generate the power.

Watch Mark Renneson, founder of Third Shot Pickleball, explain a much better way to create power using a backhand stroke.
