Hi! Welcome to Briones Pickleball.
My name is Jordan Briones (co-founder of PrimeTime Pickleball), and I've started this channel to provide you the best pickleball content on RU-vid. My goal (and passion) is to help you become the best player that you can be.
Slowing the ball down is an unbelievably important skill. No matter if you are a complete beginner, or if you are playing at an intermediate or high level, you MUST know how to slow the game down. It's very easy to hit the ball hard, but what takes hours and hours of practice, is how to actually slow the ball down. In this video, we talk about exactly how to do this, and the reasons why you need to be able to.
If you'd like to receive a FREE doubles strategy mini-course, visit brionespickleball.com
*We may still be working on it, so get on our list so that you can be FIRST in line to receive it!
Formerly known from PrimeTime Pickleball, I've decided to start a brand new channel. We'll be coming out with new instructional pickleball content each and EVERY week! Stay tuned!

Hi Jordan! We have been practicing what you showed when we had our lesson with you. I need to come back for another lesson and work on the backhand reset shot and full backhand swing. Resetting the shot works all of the time and is a great tip instead of attacking it and hitting it into the net, just take practice and discipline! Great Video and see you soon.

@shaneellis6056 2 года назад

Hey Jordan, excellent video. I’d like to see more of this scenario of moving through the transition zone but specifically looking for opportunities to counter attack a rather ambitious attack from the opponents at the NVZ . I hope that make sense and looking forward to more content!

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

Thanks Shane !

@jimkazmarek5302 2 года назад

It's hard and not logical to counterattack in the transition zone.

@robertdoran7387 2 года назад

In the transition zone you are going to be mostly on the defensive catching balls low about knee height. From that position it is nearly impossible to go on the offensive. Best you can hope for is giving him back a ball that drops low in his kitchen. He can't attack a low bouncing ball at his knees. And it gives you time to move forward to the NVZ line. Absorb pace. Drop it low and slow. He can't attack those. Go back to the video starting around 1:40. The whole point of this video is summed up here. 6:44 through 6:54 Also see 5:21 through 5:37 Practice this drill beginning at 7:03 through 8:25 He answers your question specifically here.10:25 IMPORTANT 12:00 to 12:39

@robertdoran7387 2 года назад

This skill is absolutely essential for beginners. Congrats the move, the house and the new court. Would it be possible for you to recreate or redo some of your older videos from your previous RU-vid channel? For example, this morning I was watching 2 videos about the 3rd shot drop. The first was how to hit a 3rd shot drop. The second was how to know whether to "drop" or "drive" your 3rd shot. As always, great content and instruction.

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

@thinkplanetearth2946 2 года назад

As always, really good practical content, explanation, and camera angle work. Question, if you're further away from the non-volley zone, does your grip pressure become a little tighter than the 3-4 you suggested when at the kitchen? Does that change?

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

Slightly, although the biggest change is going to be how much you lift or help it over.

@jimw6991 2 года назад

Hi Jordan, love the camera work. Angle of paddle face and grip pressure are keys for me. I find if I am super soft grip and slightly open paddle face block lands in kitchen, squeeze grip add just a little forward push and block can easily go to 3/4 depth on court. More than enough to get past opponents standing on NVZ line. Do you have any drills that you practice alternating between reset blocks and counter attack blocks that you try to hit past your opponents (I often aim in middle between opponents)

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

Not of right now, but that’s a great idea!

@robertdoran7387 2 года назад

GHAAA! This is the bane of my existence. Trying to fight against the adrenaline from seeing the ball come at me is almost impossible. I have got to learn how to soften my hands. The ball is coming in fast and my reflexes take over as I grip the paddle hard trying to move it to where the ball will be. When the ball makes contact with the paddle face, I still have that reflexive fight or flight response and the death grip the goes along with the threat of a little plastic ball. It is maddening.

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

I know what you mean Robert. Keep practicing !! 😎

@debburt251 2 года назад

Balls come at you with much more pace than in this video though, Jordan but I assume these strategies will still work then. Will try them out today. Thanks for the tips.

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

This is how players can begin to work on slowing the ball down. The technique and strategy would be the same when slowing down really fast balls, you would be just making slight adjustments to grip pressure and how much you actually have to help/hit the ball.

@beverlystotz5652 2 года назад

All helpful info, as usual. I would’ve loved to see you reset some real banger action from Katrina. 🤣 That’s my reality at the local courts.

@Pklball11 2 года назад

Thank you for your great videos, Jordan. I work at trying to slow the ball down and am sometimes successful and sometimes at the NVZ line the ball just hits my paddle and dies. Do you think this is due to paddle angle or not enough follow through??

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

Almost 100% of the time, you are NOT hitting the sweet spot. If it dies off your paddle, you are hitting the edge guard somewhere.

@harryhutchins6754 2 года назад

Hi Jordan Great video. I was wondering why you didn't practice this same reset shot a little further back ? Often it is not possible for me to get half way until I've hit at least one reset from a little further back.

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

Hey Harry! We’ll be addressing this in a future video! 😊

@leslieadkins6276 2 года назад

Hi Jordan, can you do a video where your opponents hit the majority of their balls to the weaker player. How do you prevent that and how can you possibly win? Thanks for your video tips...

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

Thanks Leslie! We hope to address this in a future video!

@downwinder3 Год назад

I have issues with the loose grip on resets. When I loosen the grip the paddle obviously is less stable and if I don't hit right on the sweet spot the paddle wobbles and the ball doesn't come off cleanly. it's as if the loose grip shrinks the sweet spot

@BrionesPickleball Год назад

1. Loose grip is 3-4 out of 10, not a 1 2. Stability issues are typically a result of not hitting the ball in the sweet spot.

@andrewgedman1214 Год назад

Can i add, if the ball hits the edge on a reset, your shot will likely die into the net. Sweet spot hitting very important from my experience

@BrionesPickleball Год назад

Yes!

@SDPBALLCOACH 2 года назад

Jordan, try to hold ur paddle with the first 3 fingers of your hand. 4 n 5th(pinky) are extended out like drinking tea. This forces you to feel the energy fall off and you simply can't punch or poke at the ball. BTW, how are the neighbors doing with the, "sounds" from your court??

@BrionesPickleball 2 года назад

Hey Leslie, pickleball is not tennis. In doubles play, you will have to get comfortable hitting shots in the transition zone. To answer your question, it’s not possible to only be at the kitchen line or the baseline (specifically talking about playing as the serving team). You will have to work your way through the transition zone every time.

@alexfoxx3376 2 года назад

I’m also a newer player and that was drummed into me too. I believe that part of the video where Jordan was backing up was to demonstrate how to adjust the reset depending on your location within the transition zone.

@SDPBALLCOACH 2 года назад

It was for training purposes. Starting at the NVZ allows him to hit the ball consistently in the kitchen with a soft touch.

@SensoryEdge 2 года назад

If you're not playing really good players, dropping back a step or two is fine. Most rec players going to hit the ball back to you instead of trying to drop it in the kitchen. If the pace is a bit fast, that extra step back will help you return the play. If you get the advantage, get back to the kitchen line.

@fredmargolin1909 2 года назад

Sometimes when a banger hits a very fast shot , it startles me. I react reflexively but latelely I've been returning with a backhand backspin and seems to slow down the ball and the ball doesn't come up very far. Your thoughts?

That can work as long as you can get the ball down. Although you don’t need backspin to slow the ball down.
