Don’t get stuck at the same level! What are your thoughts?
Very helpful. For me the biggest challenge is footwork for balance and stability in TZ before executing the shot. Split step before opponent hits is the key to practice. I would only add that low contact point from opponent's shot is common and topspin roll volley is fundamental as well.
👍🏻👍🏻
Not at 3.5 yet but all your tips are right at the point and easy to follow. Thanks
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
soo good! Thx Jordan for this guide & these reminders!
Np Maria !

Jordan, these 10 tips will definitely help me to move up my levels, excellent video I ever watched. Thanks again !
👍🏻😊
Jordan, nice tips. You are an excellent instructor.
I appreciate that!
Good 10 tips!!! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great drills, thanks! I used the drop drill moving from kitchen line to baseline and back. Saw a definite improvement of my drops after drilling!
Nice work!
I played yesterday and I never know what to focus on but your video gives me a lot to think about when I'm playing in every step of the game. Thanks for the video!
Np !
Excellent! Thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
I feel so called out... 😂😂😂
🤣
This video would’ve been so good if he was wearing a 3.5 at best shirt
Well you shoulda burned it down... with him in it 😂 Love all you guys and really appreciate all the work you do to keep the pickleball flame 🔥burning here in the frozen North🥶❄️
I was going to make the same joke. Great interview with Jordan, and great content here
Great video as per usual!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Best Pickleball learning video to date!
Glad it was helpful!
JB- I agree 💯. Great vid and pointers.
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much for discussing how to get lobs. I have such a hard time with this 😊
Happy to help!
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Off to practice with the ball machine with some new things to work on. Terrific content.
Thanks Wes!
You put out great content.
Thanks Kari! 😊
Occasionally, I get lucky and get a 3rd shot drive drop. I'm amazed when that happens. Another great video with helpful tips. I like the split step and recognizing high/low balls. Thank you 👍
😎👍🏻👍🏻
I also really like the tip about recognizing high/low balls and where to position yourself on the court for the next shot. I believe this skill goes hand in hand with recognizing the importance of developing the third shot drop. Thanks for the great tips and videos in general!
Excellent teaching. Do you have a video on return of serve? Thank you
ruclips.net/video/r83odTB48xQ/видео.html
great tips! The best one for me is your tip on gauging the height of your return on whther to come in or stay back when they are at the kitchen line. That hit home!
Great !
ohoh I got ALOT more work to do, 😅...thanks for great game plan tips for us to work on👍
You got this!
Thanks Jordan
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Jordan. I would add the note that Doing focused drills regularly on each skill with people at your level (or better !) is much MUCH more useful for moving up in level than playing games 100% of the time.
Great tip!
good stuff amigo.
🤙🏼
Thank you master pick...from INDONESIA...
👍🏻
Great videos. On my way up to 4.0 level
Sweet!!
Jordan, I wanted to add something to my suggestion on the overhead below. It should involve everything you mention along with lining up as if to catch the ball slightly in front of your lead leg.
👍🏻
ruclips.net/video/q-XaNjRPcnI/видео.html
Excellent video. I’m wondering about fast exchanges at the net. In tennis we’re taught in dubs to not look back at the ball going to partner at baseline (assuming I’m at net). But rather to watch the eyes of opposing net player. Is this the same in Pickleball?
I’m watching the direction of the ball on every shot
Good, helpful stuff tho confused about your #7. Ball up or low meant as I receive?
This means you have to get good at recognizing the height of the ball on your opponent’s side of the net. As you get better at this, your court positioning will improve, which will improve your overall game.
Do you do a review on different paddles and what to buy? Thank you : )
Coming soon!
FANTASTIC video, many thanks. I wish you would come to Horizon park to play, it's really fun group of people there..Just an idea 😅
Maybe some day!
Excellent as usual. Maybe when you do more than one or two ideas per video you could show the breaks on the screen, so we can go back to review and find the ones we like easier, than doing a scroll thru.
Great idea!
The key to improvement in pickleball is reaching out for help and advice. If you are watching this channel, you’re doing it.
Thanks Paul !
Nice last point against Arnold and Cassidy!
😊
I’m curious how you weight your 003 if it all. I’m struggling to make it work as a paddle so I’m curious.
I’ll have to make a video on this soon!
Jordan, In your overhead instruction I thought it might be good to mention lining up with your free hand as if your going to catch the ball. This would place you in the proper position to go ahead and strike the ball?? What do you think? This was a tip from my tennis instructor way back.
ruclips.net/video/q-XaNjRPcnI/видео.html
What are your thoughts on a 3rd shot lob towards a corner of the court? What type of counterplay can be utilized?
I think lobs can be very effective if hit at the right time. To counter lobs, you have to force tough low shots and work on your overheads.
@thepickleballstudio 😁 this one is for you!
🤣 he already called himself out lol
@@BrionesPickleball yea i saw and i just had to remind him again 🤣
Hahaaa
Don’t worry the 4.0 at best video is coming next for you Will 😎
What grip do you use for forehand drives? Do most 5.0+ players use a semi western
No, eastern.
Thanks again for a great video. However, I'm a bit confused. One of your videos focused on not hitting from the "Red Zone". In this video, whenever you back up, you back up into the Red Zone to hit your next shot before continuing through the transition zone. What am I missing?
If you watch the “red zone” video, it’s particularly referring to standing in the last 4 feet (or so) from the baseline after you hit your 3rd shot drop . Ideally, You want to get in a better position, closer to the NVZ, so that you can reset the ball easier. When drilling, you need to practice your resets from all positions. As for defending in transition, if the ball is high, you can give yourself time by taking a quick step back. Each scenario is different. Hopefully that makes sense.
@@BrionesPickleball Thanks for clarifying!
The lob is highly under rated. I use it on on aggressive kitchen players.
👍🏻
Thanks for the tips! I was hoping I could ask your thoughts on something. There's a Vice paddle only tournament in Florida, max players 20, open to all skill levels. Sounds interesting but... I have only done one small tournament before and even though they say 'open to all skill levels', I am wondering if there is some unwritten expectation for people entering a tournament like this to be a certain skill level? Do you think people would be mad if a lower level player (stuck at 3.5) entered an "open skill level" tournament like this? What are your thoughts? Thanks!
They may not let you in depending on the draws. I would say don’t enter something more than 1.0 point over your level. If you’re a 3.5 entering a 5.0 tournament, that’s not going to be fun for you, or your opponents.
@@BrionesPickleball thanks for the advice!!!
subscribed ... focus next time! lol awesome videos!
👍🏻👍🏻😎
I don't have a lot of people to play with..can you include wall skills that will help me improve my game?
ruclips.net/video/zW8HVsmzdX8/видео.html
Do you change your grip to more forehand for the drive?
I use an eastern grip for the forehand
And do you change to a continental when you get up to the kitchen line?
Great video! However, what you are calling closed stance in tennis is actually a neutral stance in tennis. Does this hold true in pickleball?
This may depend on who you talk to
How’s the pressure on your grip?
Depends on the shot, but usually 3-5 out of 10
What paddle are you 2 using
Selkirk 003
What brand of racquet do you use?
SLK halo
Selkirk.com/briones
@@BrionesPickleball thank you
Drop shots are "Dinks from Distance"...
It really helps to use that thiught process..
👍🏻
Are you in AZ?
Ya!
@@BrionesPickleball I live in Phoenix, do you give lessons?
What about a backhand?
You need that too!!!
#11: Have a consistent and deep return of serve and then get up to the net after the return of serve.
Yes!
Your volley serve appears to violate rule 4.A.7.b. The highest point of the paddle head must
not be above the highest part of the wrist
(where the wrist joint bends) when the
paddle strikes the ball. I know some pros do this all the time. Is this rule extinct like the dodo bird?
My paddle is below my wrist. Ask any high certified ref.
@@BrionesPickleball I guess that rule is not followed. I will use this interpretation.
@@BrionesPickleball A few months ago, someone said my serve was sidearm and illegal. I went back to my drop serve to avoid the controversy.
99% of the time, most serves that people think are ILLEGAL, are legal. There is the 1 percent though.
How about hitting lobs? I get at least 3 points with that. Opponents cannot handle them, I am 3.0 so need some trickery. Lol
Lobs are great, but MUCH harder to pull off at higher levels.
Hey man, is it me or is your side camera constantly focusing and refocusing?
Yea, sorry lol
How much do you love that Selkirk paddle?
Currently I use the SLK Halo max 16mm
That was a drive?
Yep
How about watching the ball. Wow
👍🏻
the swing? tennis… Split step? tennis… Basically if you’re a good tennis player, you have an edge to pickleball…
Typically yes
Why does everyone call them a ‘third shot’ drop or drive. They are simply a drop shot or a drive, they can be played at any time...
Or course. It’s a common phrase that everyone knows.
Classic click-bait, but also probably true. Good video.
Did you watch it? Lol
* third shot drop
* third shot drive
* reset
* strong serve
* dink
* split-step in transition
* ball height recognition
* solid volleys
* overhead smash
* have a game plan
Maybe my new game plan on RUclips is not to watch videos with incomplete show notes. We're trying so hard to be effective on the court. Are we trying half as hard to be effective with our video consumption? That would also limit your playing ceiling-wouldn't it?-if you are constantly reviewing the things you already know because you can't find out from the show notes that you already know it.
? Sorry that was confusing lol
Your split steps are too early
Lol
I guess all the pros are too early too
False. Learn how to split step in real sports. You should be landing your split step at or just after your opponent’s ball-paddle contact. You’re landing early and losing the opportunity to convert the elastic potential energy through the fast stretch-shortening cycle action. But who cares about kinesiology. I guess it’s just pickleball, right? Apparently you’re a ‘pro’ that knows better than sports scientists. Or maybe you could learn something before you teach it
"You'll be stuck at 3.5 forever unless you have a strong serve". Tell that to Tyler Loong, Lindsey Newman, Rylie Newman, Matt Wright, Collin Johns, etc etc, lol. Guess they will always be 3.5
They actually ALL have strong serves. I just played with Riley the other day. Also, if you watch Matt and Tyler play, they are hitting their serves harder and harder. Lindsey may be the one that hits her serve the slowest, but speaking of technicality, she has a strong technical serve.
So yes, you will be stuck at 3.5 if you have a weak serve.
Diinks is for loser thinking, you hit drop shot..... lol
?
Good thing you weren’t an English teacher because that doesn’t make any sense at all lol
