Jordan, you always produce outstanding videos and this video on stacking is another winner. I find that the biggest barrier preventing people from stacking isn’t the movement technique but the confusion over how to keep track of who is the correct server and receiver. There are no videos on this anywhere that I have found. It would be great if you could do a follow up video on how to be in the correct position when stacking.

[@BrionesPickleball]

I will! Thanks!

[@geoffreyback2971]

Agreed

[@AlexKoo93]

Has this video been created?

[@deanjohnston7176]

Agree. It can be confusing and tricky to keep track of who’s 1st server. The score (odd or even) indicates where the 1st server should be standing.

[@jkeiffer]

I still haven't seen this missing video either. Your comment is exactly what I came here to say after watching this.

[@nerdygeekdaddy1624]

Best training on stacking I've ever seen, very thorough and clear. Thanks!

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks!

[@psucsi4145]

Great video as usual. Now, have to figure out how to get folks to remember where they should be on the reset for the next point. Some folks for some reason struggle with if have "odd number" points, and I served first in this game for our team, I should be on this side of the court... 😄

[@BrionesPickleball]

I have to make another video!

[@MagicPickleball]

Another nice video Jordan and Katrina!

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks!!

[@lowgascostsorangeman2688]

Jordan, I've learned so much from you because you simplify the complex. Thank you so much for being on KZbin!!

[@BrionesPickleball]

😎

[@vitoberlingeri1879]

Your explanation was spot on! Well done and now I understand the multiple ways to stack. Now how would you attack/play the stack players? Another video on how to?

[@BrionesPickleball]

Yea now I have to make another one…. Lol

[@shaunconsidine2051]

Jason, love this video and the simplicity of your explanation. Yes, a follow up video on why to stack and also how to defend against the stack would be great. Also, the risk of stacking in terms of the scoring and positioning keeps many from doing it as they get confused and dont want to risk losing the point!

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks!

[@TLGRon]

Thanks for posting! I've been meaning to learn more about stacking. :-)

[@BrionesPickleball]

Np Ron !

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

As always, very clear explanation. Just recently someone where I play rec play was wanting to stack for the serve, I'd never done it so each time I had to have him tell me where to stand. LOL. What was confusing was when it was the other team's time to serve you had to remember where one should be standing because of the stacking. Very confusing to remember. At least for me anyhow.

[@BrionesPickleball]

Yes, I’ll have to make a video on this soon!

[@nancyberg2942]

Thank you! You explained it perfectly! I’m a lefty and hubby a right handed player

[@BrionesPickleball]

Cool!!

[@nadzoll]

Thank you Jordan. Now, to create Stacking 101 - Scoring. If you could start a game scoring and use stacking, that would be sooo helpful.

[@BrionesPickleball]

You mean how to keep score when stacking?

[@nadzoll]

@@BrionesPickleball yes.

[@garnottsful]

merci Jordan... excellent tutorial ! 👌

[@BrionesPickleball]

Np !!!

[@frankboccagno4476]

I am a lefty so I promote stacking with my righty partner.

[@BrionesPickleball]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidaldrich3488]

Well done. Thank you

[@BrionesPickleball]

Np !

[@robertgoranson8887]

Wow. Thanks. This made it easy for me to comprehend.

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks Robert !

[@mddale]

Super. Still working through your doubles course!

[@barbararobinson1363]

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks Barbara!

[@martinlopez-bq9oe]

Great video .

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks!

[@maniesonji891]

Great training video new to the game but learning quick. Will implement these tactics with my doubles partner, playing in my first county community league and want to see how it works.

[@BrionesPickleball]

👍🏻

[@olegyamleq7796]

all killer no filler, thanks

[@BrionesPickleball]

😎

[@stevebentley1557]

Jordan I have never tried this before but as always great instruction video. I guess the best way to try is in rec play. Not sure it would work in ladder play as your partners change weekly and every game. Thanks again

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks Steve!

[@nancyberg2942]

Thank you for the video. I’m a lefty and my husband is right handed. We’ve been thinking of stacking and think it would be to our advantage so the middle of the court is covered by our forehand’s.

[@BrionesPickleball]

Yes!

[@DrMetalpin]

But what’s a good way to keep up with who is supposed to be serving or returning from each side (after side outs, etc) if you are switching all game? I just feel like at times I would lose track of that. Isn’t it also hard for the opposing team and official to keep up with it?

[@BrionesPickleball]

Yes, I’ll make a video soon.

[@yagermysteryager2313]

Make a follow-up video, how do you "disect" your opponents that are stacking? Such as: the first return of serve stacking method, I like to serve short to the corner where the partner is standing, this makes an unusual situation where the receiver needs to rush the corner where their partner is already standing and the partner is cringing away to avoid a collision... What other strategies would you use to counter stacking?

[@BrionesPickleball]

Good video idea!

[@deanj2460]

great video! Nicely done. I'm a lefty, so there's usually no hiding where I'm gonna be... lol.

[@BrionesPickleball]

Right on!

[@godzsentassassin4693]

Jordan's calf game is crazy

[@BrionesPickleball]

Lol

[@julieh8494]

Great video. Stacking works great for us lefties. Do you have to return to your original side after each point?

[@BrionesPickleball]

I’ll have to do a video on this soon!

[@timtucker7798]

Can you review how to keep up with who goes where on the serving stack? Sometimes midway through a game it gets confusing. Hard enough just keeping up with the score.😀 I know it’s tied to the score, but any help would be appreciated.

[@BrionesPickleball]

I’ll have to make a separate video!

[@christopherprosser7505]

Assuming you start in the positions you want to play out the point in when the score is 0 - 0, you will only stack on points where your team's score is odd. When your team's score is even you just play normally. Playing straight up, you would be on the opposite side from where you started the game whenever your score is odd. So while you are stacking, that is when you need to serve/receive from the other side.

[@DrMetalpin]

That’s confusing still though. I know serve side in singles is decided by odd and even sides of court, but it’s not like that in doubles all the time is it? I’m just having a hard time wrapping my brain around it.

[@tdiparts]

For a future video - besides scoring, the only other thing missing is "why stack"? Besides preference, there must be tactical reasons to stack (you mentioned one, returner is targeting the server's partner). What other scenarios are common?

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks for the comment Dan !

[@mikeyis009]

FF to 2:00

[@BrionesPickleball]

Thanks

[@mojoman811]

When stacking on the return, how do you keep track where you are supposed to be on the next return of serve?

[@davegenet]

When receiving which side of the court you start on and whether you are the one to receive still depends on YOUR score.

[@BrionesPickleball]

I’ll have to make a video on this!

[@mojoman811]

@@davegenet thanks Dave. So if I started on the odd side and our score is odd, I should always be on the odd side?

[@davegenet]

@@mojoman811 Unfortunately, it's a bit more complicated...if you started the game on the odd side (presumably where you want to stay) and your score is odd than when the opponent is serving into the even (your partner's) court you need to receive and when they are serving into the odd (your) court your partner needs to receive and then in either case you'd move to your (odd) court. If your score is even then you'd receive into the odd court where you want to be and your partner in the even court where they want to be. It can get confusing especially when playing. Someone mentioned elsewhere in the thread this is best done with a regular partner and I agree. Maybe Jordan will have a shortcut way of thinking about it.

[@joycereese8468]

This might be a dumb question, but once you and your partner stacked and are on the side they prefer, can you switch back to original side during play?

[@BrionesPickleball]

Sure!

[@jayyarnell4710]

One issue I run into alot is opponents hitting exclusively to my weaker partner during a match. I have played matches where the only time I can get close to hitting the ball is when they serve to me. Watching this I am wondering if stacking might be a strategy to overcome opponents who exclusively hit to the weaker partner.

[@BrionesPickleball]

This is something you can try!

[@AlexKoo93]

How do we know who serves first and second

[@BrionesPickleball]

I’ll have to make a video on this soon!
