[@johnnyandthebrownnotes4951]

Great advice on watching your partner field the serve! I did it for the first time today and it made all the difference. It allowed me to gauge the difficulty of the serve and the strength or weakness of my partner’s return. Before I would always crowd the net and get destroyed when my partner had a weak return. Now I can adjust and position myself for a smarter play.

[@BrionesPickleball]

Awesome!

Love this analysis. Question: could Craig have gone for an ATP at 10:20?

[@BrionesPickleball]

Maybe, but I think it would have been tough

[@scotttesar7156]

I was wondering the same thing and why Craig didn't wait a second longer and go ATP, given Pesa's being a lefty... Too risky for a topspin backhand ask if second later???

[@yiwang8273]

Really like this! Thanks 🙏

[@BrionesPickleball]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@jaggyg8122]

Lots of great stuff here. I'm not fully convinced about the idea that it's always best to watch your partner for as long as it's done in the first point of this video. There are some solid reasons given for watching your partner's return given here, yet there are some important offensive advantages for not watching your partner or for watching your partner to a certain point. The important thing to realize is that when done purposefully, both approaches can give distinct advantages. I still lean a bit in the direction that only watching your partner to the point that it's known where the serve is going is plenty. I want to turn my attention to the opponent's position and response to the return as soon as possible. For me, watching my partner's return go by me is unnecessary and it sacrifices the benefits of purposefully watching my opponents respond to my partner's return off of his paddle. Again, fantastic content here! Thanks for the wonderfully helpful videos.

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks for the comment. All pros watch the return. Remember, your opponents have to let the ball bounce, so there’s no reason to keep your eyes on your opponents until they hit the ball.

[@ronj5655]

Thanks! Great tips.

[@BrionesPickleball]

[@billsanders3310]

Great instructional video. Haven't come across anyone doing this kind of slo-mo analysis. It was VERY helpful. Kind of like magicians showing us how the tricks were done. Please keep making these videos. Also appreciate getting the emails that include the videos.

Awesome, thank you!

[@paulmay6249]

Loved the "magicians and how the tricks were done"

[@brianporter2806]

great video, love the slow-mo breakdowns. It would be cool to do a video where you show 6 or 7 different serves and returns in a row just to break down how different serves setup a better return, etc... Just to analyze that one aspect of the game. Thanks!

[@BrionesPickleball]

Great suggestion!

[@BrionesPickleball]

😎

[@EJR898989]

great video. especially liked the emphasis on the players moving together on both sides. @12:05 in, do you think kyle may have been a step or two deep? Seems like he’s having to reach and had he been closer to the NVZ line could have made a more aggressive shot to attack the line. Was his “back from line” position a consideration in hitting to him? thx!

[@BrionesPickleball]

Caden is very offensive at the net, so any lifted dink, will be attacked right at Kyle. In this scenario, Kyle gives himself some extra reaction time, just in case Craig pops it up.

[@m.malouf6830]

[@BrionesPickleball]

[@miatafunrun3078]

Love the break down! At 9:05 since the white shirt player on our right just executed a good drop why doesn't his partner just run straight to the Kitchen line instead of a split stop in the transition zone?

[@BrionesPickleball]

Because this is what high level players do. Most players that sprint up to the line without stopping can easily get caught by higher level player’s attacks. Also, when you are balanced, you can explode to attack when necessary.

[@ktthao5224]

Can you please do a future video about shot placement and percentages? Thankyou!!!

[@marionsigurdson1392]

Love the point analysis and breakdown. More of this pretty please and thank you. 👍

[@BrionesPickleball]

More to come!

[@MikeMcGuire1]

great! Do you think what got the player on the left was the off speed "attack" by the lefty? He was looking for more pace and didnt get it which is why he had to jump a little ?

[@BrionesPickleball]

It could have been, but if you look at it real time, it wasn’t that slow of an attack. Knowing Pesa, he was just trying to shove it to an uncomfortable position to find a pop up, which he did.

[@michaelhopwood1179]

nice job - thx

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks!

[@Loveiam-UR2]

I think you should do a break down at least once a week. Super valuable content. Well done.

Love the Caden gameplay

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks!

[@ZS_7722]

Great video! Please keep doing more of these. I did have a question regarding Caden’s dink he gave down the line to Kyle - wouldn’t that have been a potential Erne for Kyle? I feel like in my level of play (around 3.5) a down the line dink is tough to deliver right?

[@BrionesPickleball]

It’s always a riskier shot. In this case, it was executed well.

[@stacysmeader6228]

Jordan, why does the receiving team switch when receiving the Serve?

[@BrionesPickleball]

High level strategy, so that they can have their strong forehands in the middle of the court.

[@stacysmeader6228]

@@BrionesPickleballI thought it could be to create confusion for the serving team who are trying to drop to the open side, and if you switch, they are now facing someone standing there instead of a person running up.

Hi. This is a great breakdown. I have a question. In response to the 3rd shot drop, why did Caden choose to cross court to Craig rather than to Kyle’s feet (who had taken a few steps into No Man’s Land)? Thanks.

[@BrionesPickleball]

It’s always a lot harder to slice down the line and is more risky. The easier shot (most of the time) is cross court.

[@SamHopkins-j6h]

Great breakdown!! Possibly move through it more quickly so you can get to another point breakdown.

You knock it out the park with this one I've recommended your videos to others who love them as well. The only thing that would make them better is to have your beautiful wife in them.

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks for that!

[@davidcardoza9409]

Bro, what kind of weird request. 😅

[@jeshuakongsinwon9108]

to be fair, the one returning with a slice chose the wrong return shot when pesa was advancing to the front. instead of slicing that return to the middle he should have gone for a hard topspin to scorhers' right side of court which would have been also a shot down the sideline, and the position was actually advantageous to do it. somehow the slice was chosen and the initiative was lost even a hard return to pesa's side would have been a good shot because he was moving and returning when he was running would have been harder? my opinion anyway and please educate me thanks

[@BrionesPickleball]

At higher levels sometimes it’s tactical and using your strengths over going for “a shot”. Craig doesn’t typically drive the ball on his BH side, and he has a very reliable drop to get him to the NVZ. This is a smart shot choice. Depending on what shots are in your arsenal, you must make good decisions on the fly. An amateur here may choose to drive it down the line, and make an error to the net or hit it wide.

[@Mr.T-q4d]

Notice you guys are at the net after the serve. Know there is a 2-bounce rule, would this give you opponent an opportunity to drive the ball at you or lob?

[@BrionesPickleball]

Watch it again, it’s after the return

[@brianw3656]

For beginners, returning the serve on the run is not ideal. I see too many beginners with bad service returns if their feet are not set. Try to have both feet firmly grounded whenever possible.

[@BrionesPickleball]

You don’t want to be running on any shot, unless you have to.

[@davidcardoza9409]

IMHO I would enjoy your videos more if you were to pick 10 exchanges within a game and break them as offensive plays, defensive, and what is important to consider.

I tried to watch this. I really wanted to like it. While I can appreciate the intention to slow things down and get into the details, this is--for me, anyway--way to slow. I don't think we need to see the same backhand dink 25 times--really, I counted! So please keep making videos, but please restrain yourselves from going into such excruciating and needless detail.
