#1 Strategy To Dominate The Net

[@benavalos1648]

I always enjoy learning from your videos Jordan. I've been teaching pickleball for over 40 years, but always pick up great tips from your videos! No, you don't talk too much. You do a great job!

[@primetimepickleball]

Thanks Ben!

[@rickblaher3015]

This was really instructive. I particularly like the embedded text balloons. They give me good stopping points to pause and digest what I've heard so far. That makes what follows even more instructive and valuable. Thanks Jordon.

[@primetimepickleball]

Glad you found it helpful Rick!

[@michaelm4021]

Good instructional video. The main point is to hit not only deep dinks, but to move the ball around (never hitting a dink in the same place), hitting angled dinks, ones that make your opponent move or to hit while making adjustments.

[@primetimepickleball]

Yes, keep them pressed with your aggressive dinking

[@jerrywade5299]

Jordan You truly are the Pickleball Jesus!! Great video. We’ll done again.

Thanks Zak !

Hey Jordan, I'm a new player, and have learned a lot from your videos! Great tips, keep em coming. Thanks!

[@primetimepickleball]

Thanks Jeremy!

[@travisking919]

Hi Jordan, another fabulous video. Thank you for making these. I was curious what is your "go to" PB footwear?

[@primetimepickleball]

Hey Travis, right now I use the Wilson rush pro, and I love them!

[@dinkingwithD]

I like the content of your videos, its precise and helping me to improve. Thank you and appreciate it. Just a request if you can cover over head shots including paddle grip for both forehand and backhand overhead shots..

[@primetimepickleball]

Thank you! Overhead forehand is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZnCkpmcid2ZqK8. Don't have the backhand overhead video yet. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@randyidaho]

My general philosophy for NVZ play is to volley whenever I can (making a controlled shot). This takes that "decision-making" out of the immediate play of the ball. I find that if the ball will land within about 1 ft forward (unless it is a big stretch to reach on either side) of the NVZ and anything deeper, I will usually volley. I have not found that this interferes with making a "bounce" dink when appropriate, since I do my best to have the paddle back to my ready position immediately after every shot I hit.

[@primetimepickleball]

Sounds good!

[@donreinholz8121]

Thanks Jordan for all of your teaching videos. I am just learning to play pickleball. So it looks like you can step in the NVZ to hit a dink as long as you immediately step back? The rules can be confusing at times. Your wife Katrina is really good too.

[@primetimepickleball]

Yes, you can step in to hit it. It's ok to make contact with your feet in the kitchen if the ball has bounced. You should step back immediately after your shot to get out of the kitchen otherwise if they can hit it at you and force you to volley in the kitchen in which case you will lose the point.

[@rileyfisher1984]

Another great video. The custom paddle is pretty sweet too

Great video Jorden

[@kittywong5287]

Hey Jordan Your coaching is pretty useful. I improve my dinking skills a lot after watching your videos. Thanks v much again !

[@fastplane006900]

Appreciate your work!

[@MitchKingTrades]

Hey Jordan I was wondering if you can show your ground strokes and your serves in slow motion so we can emulate. Show them in a repeated cycle 3-4 times so we don’t have to keep rewinding to review. Love your game and techniques, excellent stuff.

[@primetimepickleball]

We'll consider doing more slow motion in the future. In the meantime, here are some videos we already have up that have slow motion in them: Pro Slow motion serves (very similar for forehand drive groundstroke technique) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5ilgYOlpLR1jLM Ben Johns forehand slice return slow motion kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHnKnYakYtWth8U Backhand slice (slow motion starts at 8:40) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmGrdqyedtiEnbM

[@jpixle]

@9:15 so true

[@primetimepickleball]

👏

[@squashdevicer]

Shallow short dinks are good against opponents with mobility problems or those that hang back.

[@primetimepickleball]

👍🏻

[@richardfield5176]

Where could I find the small plastic cones you use.....?

[@primetimepickleball]

You can find those many places. Dollar store, target, walmart and any sporting goods store.

[@chass5531]

Hi Jordan. I’ve been playing pickleball for 7 months and have learned many useful techniques and tips from your videos. Your verbal explanations and visual demonstrations are excellent and make your lessons easy to understand and learn. Many thanks!

[@primetimepickleball]

Great to hear! Thanks for the comment Chas.

[@evanhayes5891]

I can't even pretend to know how any real underspin is applied with that short dink motion. I just know that you somehow do it!

[@dustinwahrendorf7959]

Just a question...I'm a 4.5 player, amd I'm wondering why u don't talk about dinking to the weak side of a particular player.

[@primetimepickleball]

We do talk about that, we just didn't in this particular video. That is a good idea so if you're doing that then keep doing it.
