I've always been fascinated by Ben Johns, world's #1 player. He's always so smooth, efficient, and consistent. His shots aren't super flashy, but his shots are always VERY effective.
Today, I wanted to analyze and break down his famous Serves and Backhand slice drop.
Ben Johns is also a phenomenal teacher and has his own youtube channel. Please check him out! / @benjohns_pb
The backhand drill is a custom one I made on the Titan. Here is the QR code if you'd like to try it yourself: www.edjupickleball.com/eds-cu...

"I wish I was Ben" you said, towards the end of the video. Bro, just be you! We love you, and your content!

True. Ty 🥹

This is fantastic! Really great insights. I didn't realize before how Ben just kind of pushes the ball in with his weight transfer. I tried this and it's great. I didn't get 100% power; I got like 80% power, but much more consistent than what I was doing before (which was more swing-ey) and with a lot more control over placement. Excellent work, Ed. More like this, please.

Would like to see you do JW Johnson’s backhand slice. Follow his same technique. Then try to analyze the difference between bing Jon‘s and JW Johnson’s would also love to see you do a breakdown of Tyler Mcguffin backhand slice return

@edjupickleball 2 месяца назад

That would be a fascinating one! JW’s technique is so unique to him and looks like it shouldn’t work, but somehow he’s mastered it. Definitely worth a look.

Ed u are a legend keep doing what u doing u have tremendously helped my game so much. I have also mastered your laser beam serve and it helps me win so much more points. Keep going with the ben johns analysis

@edjupickleball 2 месяца назад

That’s amazing! Laser beam is still one of my go-to’s :-)

@worldnomaderic 2 месяца назад

Loved this comparison video! Can you try a pro's forehand drop and drive? One thing Scott Moore told me in a lesson was that however you prefer to hit a drop (backhand or forehand), try to always do that side of your body. Don't bother practicing the opposite b/c you have plenty of time to set up your preferred stance for a 3rd shot drop. He basically said to get really good at that one side. Also, think about the apex being at your own kitchen line, so the ball is coming down by the time it reaches the net. Many people think the apex is at the net, but the best drops are already headed down by the time they reach the net.

@edjupickleball Месяц назад

That’s a great tip from Scott! I’ll def work on that vid 👌🏼

@rhondaschlatter5269 Месяц назад

@dackerman123 16 дней назад

The way Ben hits his slice drops are akin to a golfer hitting a chip shot from off the green. The stroke and follow through are smooth, pendulum like motions which are how you get consistency. The wrist and arm angle stay completely static.

@joeblow4688 2 месяца назад

How do you serve from the “kitchen “line????

@metapickleball 7 дней назад

Awesome vid🎉. Did you memorize the angle a mo later?

@mattwilkie9713 2 месяца назад

One major difference I noticed.... It seems Ben does a slight hop as he makes contact with the ball. I think this subtle jump helps him add the extra bit of touch needed

@brianporter2806 2 месяца назад

Great video, really like the analysis of pros. Would love to see some return of serve options. Some pros are hitting more deep drives, others say they slice return 80% of balls. Curious to see which pros do what and in which scenarios.

@edjupickleball 2 месяца назад

That’s a good one! I’ll work on making that

@brianporter2806 Месяц назад

@@edjupickleball Another good video idea would be "how pros close at the net". not just where all 4 at at the net, but also when you get players back, the technique to hit that awkward sideways topspin swing to hit it hard but not fall in the kitchen and close the point out. Johnson and Frazier do this amazingly well.

@shanec4441 Месяц назад

Ben Johns does more lower body rotation and his right foot ends up forward and he is in an open stance after the serve.

@MrPanthers23 2 месяца назад

Love it. Which titan drill are you using for this one

@edjupickleball 2 месяца назад

I set up a custom one that’s based off of the backhand deep serve drill. Here’s the QR code I made for it: www.edjupickleball.com/eds-custom-titan-drills

@keviny9392 Месяц назад

Ben's right leg swings over to the front after the ball contact.

@craigtomlin7888 Месяц назад

Yes and Ed missed this key element in his analysis. Rotating the right foot causes the hips to also rotate and produce more power.

@stevemulder1131 29 дней назад

, what setting are you using on the Titan to work on the backhand slice drop?

@edjupickleball 25 дней назад

Backhand return! Except I dialed down the speed

@leo-cg4hy 2 месяца назад

So is OK to side swipe the ball on a serve out of the air. I thought you had to hit under and up. Looks like he also made contact above his waistline

@josefbleaux6724 Месяц назад

Ben is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers...

@JoJo-Campeon Месяц назад

Number 2 player.

@marvindennis3664 Месяц назад

Ben uses his legs and hits to generate more power. He gets really low on his shots. Gotta be in great shape to do that for an entire tournament.

@ErikSmalls Месяц назад

His ball toss is so high it honestly seems illegal

@TCW1977 Месяц назад

agreed 100 %

@PatrickDeBoard1946 Месяц назад

Ben's right foot is back. Yours is forward.

@MrChrislatl 2 месяца назад

You completely missed the fact that he pivots in his left foot and swing his body around. A big point imo.

@edjupickleball 2 месяца назад

I did a freeze frame and put circles and text to point that out in several parts of the analysis 🥲

@jimh.4027 2 месяца назад

I'm not sure how he does it, but Ben's BH slice return is very slow. The ball moves very slow. No pop off his paddle. Jessie Irvine has a similar slow return.

@iKumala 2 месяца назад

it looks like Ben holds the ball up a bit higher on the serve- I think if I hit the ball that high people might complain...

@jbmedia8882 Месяц назад

What you’re not doing is bringing your right foot forward. He’s bringing his weight forward on his left foot and his right foot completes the cycle. Notice his right foot. That’s where the power is coming from.

@rehman2017 2 месяца назад

Hey bro I want to give you eye catching thumbnails

@ImAHusband809 2 месяца назад

Wait i thougjt tossing the ball up and hitting high was against the rules?

@edjupickleball 2 месяца назад

Check out my vid on serving rules! But the TLDR: you are allowed to toss the ball up to hit a volley serve. Contact point below the waist. Exception: you are a pro level player playing in the PPA tour. Those guys have a different set of rules that don’t apply to us.

@leonaribenlezrah5359 Месяц назад

I looks like he’s served are above his hip

@1whomakes 2 месяца назад

notice how hes tucking his arm

@nobodyspecial9035 2 месяца назад

Watch where is feet end up on the serve.

@frankfurter7260 2 месяца назад

He’s not pretty close to ‘this kitchen line” when he serves as you said @1:10 but the baseline.

@edjupickleball 2 месяца назад

You’re right! Baseline is correct

Is the spinning your paddle a nervous habit? It’s a little distracting. Good video.

@deatonsports8629 2 месяца назад

It’s insane how Ben johns makes the game look so slow. I mean his 3rd shot drops look like the easiest things ever

@rickmasters418 Месяц назад

I watched your videos but the one thing I noticed Ben always serves and as he serves he twists his body so his back foot lands in the court. You never did that why?
