The #1 Shot Advanced Players Have That Others Don’t 

I love the way you explain a play, then do it, THEN show it slow motion so we can understand it better! This is VERY helpful. Thank you for the great teaching videos you make.

great vid, thorough & clear. Everything I thought to add, just wait a moment... then sure enough you added it. Best pb channel I've found.

Very helpful. Coming from tennis I am realizing this is a specific reality I need to work on.

Super helpful. Great points! Thanks!

I've been hitting all the PB shot and stroke highlights on RU-vid this week, and _this_ is the single most underrated shot in my opinion. I finally understand why my random rec group rarely manages to get into a kitchen game. Almost every shot from low in transition sets up another slam from the other side and we ended up bashing more than half the time (the other 30% was late-to-the-ball lob defense, and only 20% was kitchen game). I'm pretty new to the sport, and I was below average in the group (proficient enough for rec play, but not world beaters). I seemed to be working harder than anyone else I observed to land a solid 3rd-shot drop, although my batting average is only about 0.500 at this stage. And it was great when it worked. Suddenly the hulk on the other side with the Flash Gordon wrist action was reduced to sending me back a ball I could properly deal with. Not only is this shot underrated, but his is a superior treatment and extremely easy to understand.

Another great video Jordan. Love your camera angles and slow motion edits along with the written descriptions. Your instructions are always so clear and on point. Very easy to follow and understand what you're trying to teach. If I lived near you I would definitely take lessons with you.

Excellent tips, Jordan. Thanks.

Good written instructions .

Great instruction. By showing how not to do it, and then the correct to do it. With excellent camera angles.

Awesome Jordan! This is something I continually work on...sometimes successful, sometimes not. The problem I have is when playing with bangers or hard-hitters, resetting/volleying a fast ball from mid-court is really challenging! Just the right amount of grip pressure, etc. is needed and it's not always easy to tell how much to use to make a successful shot. My other problem is I'm a bit of a perfectionist so I want to make the "perfect" reset which oftentimes puts so much pressure on me, I totally flub the shot. Thoughts? Other than counseling... LOL

Thank you very much. Another well produced video. :)

Great video! I have that problem and every partner I play with complains that I lift my shots, but nobody tells me how not to do it. You just did. Your wife has great form and looks beautiful when she is playing! 👏🏻👏🏻

Great explanation! Very helpful! Thanks

Excellent learning video. Thanks.

Great advice! Thx! Now, time to practice.

Hi Jordan, I was at a clinic put on by Ben Johns and he emphasized what an important shot this is to learn. One video I would like to see would be for good offensive shot options at the line as well as seeing good defensive techniques when you’re trying to reset the point. I would like to have a broader shot offensive arsenal at the line and know where to aim if the ball is attackable (slightly above the net) but I don’t have an angle to hit down at their feet. Thanks Jordan. Your videos are great.

Hi Jordan, the transition shots here are volleyed, wondering about ever letting ball bounce first? Thx.

Thanks for the videos! I don’t know how to hit the balls out of the air like that for a reset. Can you do a video on this? You guys have the best videos for intermediate players. Thanks

Excellent instruction....thanks

That’s really good info! What do you have for the same scenario but a ball bouncing at your feet? Seems I always hit it in the net or too hard.

Outstanding!!!👍❤️👍 I’m on it!

Very helpful. Thanks!

Great video Jordan, thank you!

Since you are in the transition zone should we always keep the paddle below knee height in a ready position after taking the split shot, then when you arrive at the kitchen move your paddle up to the the waist high position in the ready position?

great video....thks...new to the game but love it....do u have a video on your backhand technique at the kitchen...for instance..u hit a backhand coming thru level with an slightly open paddle finishing higher---and the ball went over the net and down...i would have thought that was impossible(maybe just a bad camera angle)...would love to know that technique..thks again

Great tips!!

Great video Terrific pointer

Another great video! I get the tendency to swing on shots when I just need to hit infront. Any tips on how to stop doing that? Thanks !

Great video. Noticed that all resets were with backhand and there were no resets with half volleys. Hope that means you with touch on these in a future video ? If not please give me your thoughts on forehand resets and half volley resets forehand and backhand. Thanks.

Nice job guys!

Your court is gorgeous. Wanna meet you there to practice resets!

Great job, Katrina.

Love your wife! She did great! I practice with my husband & I hope I can win as many shots as she did! Go Girl Power!! Or maybe less power!!!

Good demonstration.

Great video. Is she one of your prototype pb player. She is doing great .

what paddle do you use?

I will try that !

wher are the courts you shoot on?

Great tips; demo starts at 4 minutes in.

Great video. and No, Katrina, take it easy on Jordan! ;)

Please join Rumble to expand their content. 🙏🏼🇺🇸

Do you have a video explaining how to do the shot where players take all the pace off a ball and it just plops over to the opponents side of the net and just dies?

Question: after accidentally speeding up the ball, and presenting a full on slam opportunity to your opponent, what’s the best way to defend against the slam?? Do you have a mindset/technique or approach you use to get the slam back over the net? This video was great, thank you!!

Jordan taking it easy on the wifey. Great video.

Great video! And wow your wife is really good!

Jordan, let me preface my comments on your instruction style by saying I'm a long time viewer and have learned so much from you. Plus, I fully intend to continue being one of your biggest fans. That said, here is some "Constructive criticism." You videos are way too long because you repeat things three and four times. Remember, the viewer has the option of backing up the video if they choose to hear it again. Keep up the good work, I consider you my go-to guy when I'm struggling we something in my game.

What if you are in the transition zone and you can whip a heavy topspin forehand, does that put u in a bad position

The spirit of the video is appreciated. However, the 12-minute video can be summarized ... "dink"

Maybe *open* with her making the shot a few times, go "nice reset shot" and *then* explain a bit. Otherwise start indoors in a film room. Continuous foot faulting. And dude - are those *running* shoes? Your partner saves the day! Overall, a good bit of info on what many would call a half-volley drop shot.

Does Katrina give lessons?

Hes on the kitchen line lol

Major Rex kwon-do vibes going on

J, Many foot false :)

Why is she not moving forward after her great resets?

Contacting the ball "in front", means you do not step back let it bounce to hit the ball "in front".

Maybe his WIFE should be teaching him. She has won a lot more points.

....and then re-explain the entire play at the end of the play.

You are foot faulting most of the video

Can we just call it the kitchen instead of the non volley zone

You talk to munch can you please get with the program

Whoever can figure out how to do these videos without all of the talking, in other words, whoever can do these videos and can talk WHILE the visuals are going on, is going to crush this space. These videos are great, but the first four minutes of this video are totally unnecessary. Literally show the drills and the playing (the Xes and checkmarks while you are explaining the concepts). You’re welcome! And thank YOU for doing the videos.

Again great information but you really talk to much.

Why not jus t say that the third shot should be a dink?? Sheesh

Too much talking in prep of demonstration

🤣

Jordan, nice info., however; this video would be better, and much shorter if you were more economic with your talking.

Too much talking in beginning. Almost 4 minutes before a ball is actually hit. Nice instruction and visuals though once you started actually showing the shot.

Too long winded!!!

I think his wife is a better player than him.

You are talking way too much. More action please!

Jordan takes too long to get into it. Too much verbiage. Not enough action.

This clip should have been 3-4min, this guy talking way to much, for nothing.

Talk too much

..too much talking..
