5 Benefits of Online Pickleball Coaching (And Why You Should Try Paddlespeed)
Pickleball's meteoric rise has taken the sports world by storm.
What started as a backyard pastime has quickly evolved into one of the fastest-growing sports globally.
But as more people pick up paddles, the need for smarter, more efficient ways to improve has emerged.
That's where Paddlespeed comes in - with an approach centered on "revelation over repetition."
Write your awesome label here.
Unlike traditional coaching that relies on countless repetitions to build muscle memory, Paddlespeed's science-backed program helps you understand the physics and biomechanics behind creating paddle speed.
When you know the science behind what you’re doing, you’ll improve faster and more efficiently.
And for less than the cost of one in-person pickleball lesson, you’ll have lifetime access to hours of unique video instruction and over 118 pickleball drills to practice.
1. Your Pickleball Instructor is Carlos Rodriguez, a Top Ranked Senior Pro
With Paddlespeed, you're learning from me, Carlos Rodriguez, a senior pro ranked #8 worldwide in singles competition.
A former Division 1 tennis player at the University of Virginia, I have multiple gold medal wins on the PPA Senior Pro Tour, including victories over the #1 ranked senior pro in the world.
But what truly sets my pickleball instruction apart is my scientific approach to creating more paddle speed.
By breaking down the core mechanics of the body into four essential steps - the coil, the speed up, the transfer, and the contact - we reveal the physics behind generating power and spin.
These aren't just tips and tricks; they're proven biomechanical principles that apply to every shot in pickleball.
2. You’ll Understand the Science Behind Great Pickleball Play
Rather than teaching each shot as a separate skill, Paddlespeed teaches you the science that applies to every pickleball shot, broken down into four steps:
The Coil: Learn to store energy by coiling your body like a spring, starting from the top and finishing at your back foot.
The Speed Up: Understand how to initiate the uncoiling process to generate power efficiently.
The Transfer: Master the transfer of energy from larger to smaller body parts for maximum acceleration.
The Contact: Perfect your paddle face and contact position for optimal control and spin.
Once you understand these four steps, you'll apply them to all 14 pickleball shots, from serves and returns to dinks and firefight volleys.
The program includes 118 video drills specifically designed to help you master these techniques.
3. You’ll Discover How to Hit the Ball Harder and Generate More Spin
The four step system works across all shot types, and you’ll see how to generate more power and spin with every hit:
For Volleys: Learn three techniques - arm-only volleys for balls in your "wheelhouse," body-arm volleys for reaching shots, and the rarely-taught core-shifting technique for handling firefights.
For Groundstrokes: Discover how your body creates a natural 1-to-12 speed multiplier, proper coiling technique, and how energy transfers like a whip through your body.
For Serves: Master the "rubber arms" relaxation technique, the "paddle butt" positioning method, and spin generation systems that create unpredictable ball movement.
Each technique includes video analysis from top pros and practical drills to accelerate your learning curve.
4. You’ll Get Pickleball Training at Your Own Pace with Lifetime Access

Take your phone or tablet to the court and practice the techniques immediately, or study the videos at home before your next match.
5. You’ll Learn Through Illustration, Not Just Explanation
What truly makes Paddlespeed different is its teaching approach:
Revelation over Repetition: Rather than mindlessly repeating movements thousands of times, you'll learn a process that accelerates how you improve your game.
Science over Opinion: Learn the physics behind paddle speed through principles like the speed multiplier effect and the law of action and reaction.
Illustration over Explanation: I use everyday examples like helicopter toys, mouse traps, and a spinning globe to help you understand the science in simple terms.
The program shows you how to hit the pickleball using multiple camera angles, overhead views, and slow-motion analysis to show you exactly what's happening when using the body to generate momentum.
You'll see the techniques, not just hear about them.
