Excellent. Very good explanation. Thank you

Great video! Will definitely drill this!

You are the best Very clear What camera do you use

Thank you for this informative video!

Thanks Nicole.

Great content as always! I have noticed on many of your videos you don't show the point or shot in real time but go straight to the slow mo. For this video we never got to see the point in real time. It would be really helpful to see the point in real time first and then see the breakdown. Thanks for all your content!

What’s the purpose of constantly spinning the paddle around in between everything?

waiting, waiting on the Android version and then will get a new Pixel phone once it exists *sigh*

Great tips, Nicole. Thanks.

Is there a video that details the way we would drop it low or serve it without a high bounce? Is there a way to describe it or you need to just practice over and over and learn your energy and trajectory of swing and follow thru? It's hard for my brain to understand: hit it over, but don't bounce it high... It's a ball... it's gonna bounce... how can i figure that part out about the low bounce?

🙏great video ! ✨

Your the latest business rivals of tinnes badminton and pingpong😂😅

Great video Jordan

It would be helpful to preface the tutorial with the purpose of this slice return and in what situations you'd choose to use it. I'd also love to see a close-up slow video breakdown of how various grip changes are done. Thanks for all your very helpful and thorough tutorials!

Also worth noting- his paddle tip starts out pointing upwards at about the 2:00 position and he preps his backswing early. Does his slice spin cause the ball to spin more sideways or backwards?

When you give directions the way of continously speaking without stopping is hard for me to follow. .It will be better if you speak on short sentence at a time so your the listeners can understand cleearly before you go to next sentence, I really like your directions because they are very helpful. Thank you,

what if you have great groundies and volleys - can you just avoid transition all together - i know it says work your way in but.....?

there is no rule against standing at the kitchen if you are the servers partner...of course if you hit it before bounce a problem = but you can stand there

An excellent video on the basics and how to get started. 👏👏👏👏

Love this information. The evolution of pickleball moves forward. Soft game has its place but aggressive is the here and now. Thanks

Nic I LOVE this video so much! Great great insights as always. Nice looking club by the way. WhereEVER could it be? ;-)

Excellent points!

I’m trying to watch this vid like any normal ppl but things like “ping pong tennis on badminton court” and “pickles are for eating not playing” keep distracting me. (No hate just my mind messing up)

How many sets are typically played? And does the one server rule apply to each set or just the first set? What decides who starts serving in sets 2 and potentially 3?

Backhand too?

I developed this shot within the first year of playing PB. I win so many points with this grip, hitting the ball with as much power as my forehand. My problem is I sit on the eastern backhand grip and my continental backhand is weak. Even for long backhand shots, I'm in an eastern backhand grip but I use 2 hands. Again, my weakness is the continental backhand that I see many hit with power.

I'm sorry Jordan, but it really doesn't look like you know how to hit a textbook overhead.

hmmm often 4.0+ players will REACH so drops at the kitchen line is a death sentence. Nice video though

Nicole always has THE BEST tips! 👏👏👏👏👏

Nicole, Thanks so much for the great videos! Any plans to do a video on developing a 2 handed backhand? Judy Shrem

I do variations of this warm up before playing, and often get amused looks and remarks from other players. I will continue to warm up on court, but would it also work to do an extensive warm-up at home, drive 15 minutes to the courts, and then just do a minor warm-up there?

What a great and informative video. Love the breakdown in slow motion.

To prevent someone from lobbing can you just target the person, that keeps lobbing, off hand with dinks. Wouldn't that prevent him from lobbing?

I watched this video for the soundtrack But for real, good stuff

Thanks. Now can you do a show on the rare Bert shot?

Your editing and analysis are really fantastic, 👏👏

one difference i see in the 2 examples at min 7 (ish) in the low vs high TS volley is the difference in footwork. in the high TS volley, you move your feet to a better position to use your entire kinetic chain (from the ground up...from feet to hips to torso to arm). would love a video on this speciifc point: how to get insane power in a TS FH volley (high)...like the pros do. when i see 5.0+ vs 3.5-4.5s hit higher (yellow zone) balls at the NVL the 5.0+ players hit with so much more speed/power and spin. it looks like this insane power, even from smaller players, comes from a tight fast uncoiling of the kinetic chain even when at the NVL.

A lot of the drops are topspin. Do you feel that's a requirement for 4+ play? This is one of your first videos where you talk about making the shot when your position is awkward. I find at higher levels of play other than the serve and return, most shots end up being awkward because that's the goal of your (high level) opponents. When I was a good tennis player I won not because my stroke or footwork were so exceptional, but rather that I could make the shots on the run, falling back, being jammed, etc. I'm finding it hard to realistically drill these shots though so I've been playing more and drilling less. Lastly, I notice that some of the players are backing up from the kitchen line when it's obvious an attack is coming. I have mixed feelings about that. Yes, it gives you more time if you back up, but it also gives your opponent more angle to put it at your feet or to hit it wide around you. Thoughts?

May I ask if the wrist should be tightened/ fixed or loose when doing slice ? Or should I using the wrist to slice the ball? Thank you for your video and help🙏🏻

Great video--with the "be loose" tip I'm not sure what that translates to--what would the proper grip strength and wrist stiffness be for a reset vs a counterattack?

Good stuff, what's the best way to keep them back if they drive the ball on the 4th shot?

Awesome video. Thanks for breaking it down

Why did Miriam serve after Irene? Why wasn’t it Nicole to serve, since everyone else had already served once?

Great stuff but for step one (turning the shoulder), you need to make your grip change and set it while turning your shoulders. I see so many pickleball players fumble around with their grip change too late or not changing it at all. This is especially true if you just hit a forehand or your waiting grip for a return is other than your backhand grip.

Awesome

Scratch that meant to say does the body drill work for helping to block drives and bangers?

No

chill suit

Thanks for making these videos Jordan! I have been following you for the 2.5 years I have been playing and you are definitely the best content provider! question for you, the kitchen line drill you said is a set up shot; how should we expect the ball to come back so as part of the drill we are setting ourselves up properly?
