Super helpful video! I appreciate how Jordan takes time to explain the “why” of the middle dink but then allows the players the opportunity to get right back at it and practice it again! I, also, would LOVE to see more clips from other parts of your clinic! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Thanks for posting this, Chris. It was good to watch Jordan teach and I appreciated the examples both good and bad. Reshowing the mistakes as Jordan went back over them was particularly effective.
I think that Jordan is a great coach but find it hard to stay tuned in due to his long windedness. I really, really wish that he were more short clear and concise.
You’re looking for something that probably doesn’t exist. It’s either he cuts it down and leaves out crucial info or he says everything that’s relevant. I know which one I want.
If you can’t listen for 20 min how do you ever watch a movie? Either you want to improve or you don’t. One of the best at breaking mechanics down so you can drill them on your own.
Jordan, I needed these insights during my Tuesday game! I repeatedly made mistakes on the backhand side with my footwork and cross-court reply (bad decision-making). Thank YOU Chris, Will, and Jordan for generously sharing actionable instruction!
Thanks so much for all you've shared about paddles & now your time at a Briones pickleball clinic! It's my hope to get to one!! Keep on with all the great info!
Thanks for posting this. Once you can make most of your shots, this is what you need to know. Reading situations and your opponents becomes super important.
I would love to see more videos like this also make them longer as to show other drill that you guys did with Jordan as this does help me realize what I can change and overall I want more longer videos😊
Chris great new article. Wanted to please ask you to do one about the New Gherkin pickleball paddles with the new tech using silicone on the edge of the paddles. Just bought the Phantom taking advantage of the $ 50 off sale. Wanted the expert opinion of the Head Paddle Avenger reviewer. Thank you and saludos from Panama.
I do not find him to be a good instructor. He really did not explain why to hit to middle, did not use good examples showing what happens when you do and what happens when you do not. I would not pay to have him teach me.
He’s explained why you go middle whenever you receive a pressure dink 50 times in other videos. Short middle is always your safety net when you are losing a dinking rally ie your opponent is dictating - it resets the rally and your opponent cannot attack-speedup.
