Which mistakes are you making?

[@ValueRobot]

I would get into them but KZbin comments have a character limit of only 10,000 characters

[@UniqueisUnity]

Not Drilling. Gonna get to it, next time I'm out. Thanks for the content, boyos.

[@nuclearmusic77]

I feel like I'm not opening up enough to my girlfriend. She tells me I'm too quiet and sometimes I think I take it for granted that she cares for me.

[@JohnJeffrey-oz9tw]

Never noticed the "you guys" until the comments here. In our neck of the woods it's pretty common. I suppose if I thought that I was the same calibar player as "those guys" I might find it condescending, but my guess is that most of us are not ( that's why we're watching). So you guys just keep being yourselfs and disregard commments about delivery. Your content has been a great help to me and others.

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks John !

[@vitoberlingeri1879]

Hey Caden, and Jordan, nice video and very informative. Nice to see Caden again and always nice to see you Jordan. Keep up the good videos!

Skinny singles! Skinny singles! Skinny singles! I avoided it like the plague when I started but for past 2 months it’s my weekly go-to practice priority. It’s a game changer because it forces me to practice transition resets and disciplined shot selection. Keep up the great work and teaching 👊

[@marshm535]

Good info!

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks !

[@tagman12]

Great video! I can feel all the items listed and probably the biggest one is lack of drilling. Most things intermediate and below believe the rec games will do it - they won’t. Drilling and practicing should be cornerstone - as “you guys” (lol) said, repetition is key! Again, awesome content!

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks !! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@bryanyee7]

For the resets and drops in the transition zone that Jordan was doing, I noticed that you were using a short, slow, slice blocking motion on both the forehands and backhands. Is that easier to control for a drop reset shot than the regular up and through motion, especially when under pressure or dealing with shots with pace? Also, for the shading when you are in the transition zone, how should you shade (towards the side the ball is going to or away from)?

[@BrionesPickleball]

I may shade a tad, but the most important thing is to get in a wide low stance. It may look like I’m slicing the ball, but I’m more just lifting the ball up slightly. It may have a little bit of slice, but not much

[@benjaminleavitt3666]

Hey which Selkirk paddle are you playing with in this video Jordan?

[@BrionesPickleball]

Project 003

[@twobehappy67]

Hi Guys!! When would shuffle your feet side to side instead of doing a cross over ?

[@BrionesPickleball]

I try to shuffle as much as I can so that I can stay in front of the ball. I will cross step at times to get into position to hit a good slice.

[@debragomer8477]

Outstanding! Thanks guys😊

Hopefully more people will get Caden's Message at the end. you can practice. You can't simply just play. You have to practice drilling. This is life advice not just pickleball

[@snipsnop2]

Good list of mistakes to avoid, thanks! For #4 (don't always be stepping back from the kitchen line), you didn't point out one key aspect of how Jordan handled the situation in which he decided to step back: his next shot, the one he hit after stepping back from the line, was a soft, controlled dink, designed to land near his opponent's feet and to give him *time* to step back up to the kitchen line.

[@BrionesPickleball]

👍🏻

[@pickleballtara]

Great video 💕

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks !

[@NathanBrantley]

Great video guys. I wonder if the ranking is regional, cause if these tips are for 4.0 mistake makers, then... I'm a 4.25. But in reality I'm 3.5ish. I don't see how someone could be better than me and make the mistakes you listed. Or did you purposely title it this to buff the algorithm interaction 😏

[@BrionesPickleball]

Lots of players “think”, they are doing all these things until they record themselves. Lol

[@natehendricksen3338]

Excellent video.

[@BrionesPickleball]

Glad you liked it!

[@bretwallach9863]

For the skinny singles drill, we usually start by serving cross court and then the server moves to the receivers side (almost as if the server was stacking). This makes the server and receiving the serve more realistic (at least it seems that way to me). Is there any reason not to start a skinny singles point that way?

[@BrionesPickleball]

No, you can do it that way too.

[@riod43]

You guys

[@BrionesPickleball]

😎

[@kento1957]

At the pro level, how many hours per week on average do they drill?

[@BrionesPickleball]

It varies by the pro, I would say average 10 hours

[@Eazy015]

Did Caden switch to a power air? I thought he was playing Halo. Edit: it actually looks like both of you switched to more power oriented paddles?

[@BrionesPickleball]

He did, I did not 😊

Caden's demeanor is so different when he's teaching versus when he's on the podcast.

[@BrionesPickleball]

Being natural on camera takes time to master. His podcast personality is how he is in real life lol

[@jimkazmarek5302]

One dimensional players! Exactly! They never, ever more up to the next level. Very frustrating to coach them.

[@BrionesPickleball]

😊

[@youngsuit]

would you recommend practicing skinny singles in a cross court pattern?

[@BrionesPickleball]

Yes!

[@El_Guap]

So, always attack at the body!

[@BrionesPickleball]

At higher levels, you want to attack the wings

[@brendancooper2159]

I would argue that turning your feet at the kitchen line is not a good thing, it’s easy for your opponent to hit it at your backside causing you to be turned around in a worse position to hit the ball

[@BrionesPickleball]

Depends what you mean by turning your feet.

[@lzumberge]

Great tips, great skills,... but who are "you guys"? You guys, you guys, you guys!

Jordan and Caden - please know that a lot of people don’t agree with this comment. Here in Ohio, and all over the Midwest, we ALL say “you guys” ALL THE TIME!!! Raised in Virginia, and living all over the mid-Atlantic and the south, (AF brat turned Army wife) I used to say “y’all” all the time. As an educated, upper middle class person, I feel like we are PB friends when you refer to to me and all of your other subscribers as “you guys.” 👍🏼🎉 It's most definitely not condescending! Condescending would be calling us “idiots” for not wanting to drill or practice. Cuz that's what I think you are if you never drill. 😜 (DUPR 4.23, age 56)
