How are your drops??
This really helps watching you two demonstrate. I get a lot from watching these videos. Thank you Jordan and Katrina!
Np !!
I think you are so right in this approach. Isolate a skill and practice it under ideal conditions. And understand that when you get into a game you'll have to adjust for game conditions. I don't think one will reach his potential by trying to learn skills in game situations. And its not fair to your partner either.
Get a drill partner or a coach. Learn in a no-fault practice environment. Compete in a competitive environment.
Or at least that's the hidden gem I got from this video...in addition to the drilling format suggestions of course. I'll try them this weekend with my drill partner.
Thanks for the videos. This one as well as the many others.
Thanks Steve!!
Sometimes I find myself admiring my 3rd shot drop rather than hitting and moving toward the net using split steps. Other times I move toward the net before hitting the 3rd shot drop. Sequencing is so important; hit then move and move quickly but don't hurry. Love your videos
Thanks Andy !
I do the same😂
Could you do more paddle review videos? Or what to look for in a paddle? What all the different cores and faces actually do? Love your videos!
I plan to!

Great video!!!!
Thanks!
I noticed about two weeks ago when practicing third shot drops. I tend to position myself a little off to the side. and swing up on the ball, kind of a straight-up arm thing. My point getting too is that I use this same straight-up arm swing on four different shots with pretty much the same swing. Serve, dink, drop, and lob shots. It's a little different touch, but it's pretty much the same swing. It seems to simplify it a little.
👍🏻
If you’re hitting it consistently, that’s what matters most!
3rd shot drop , ouch , that one is tough, either net and high which leads to a slam. But I keep trying🙂. Thanks for the drill tips , again your videos are super , have a great holiday season Jordan!
Thanks Steve you too!

Great tips, Coach JB! Gonna work on these w wifey
😊
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!
Love the videos Jordan, you’re 1 of my “Go to” guys.
I laugh though, when I see you twirl the paddle mid rally, not good practice for me, as I’m constantly picking it up! Lol
Lol thanks Stacy!
Nice video as always! Can you please review Project 003 Invikta vs Power Air Invikta?
Yes! I plan to.
Would the 3rd progression be a more realistic drill if serving diagonally instead of straight?
Yes, you can do that as well
What is your target area? When I do drop drills, I usually target about 1 foot in front of the NVZ line.
Most of the players I play against can take that drop that doesn't bounce and turn it into an offensive roll volley from their ankles. It's frustrating...is there a way to prevent that? I've been trying a 70% 3rd shot drive then getting an easier ball to hit a 5th shot drop with and that seems to be a little better...as long as my drive is on that day.
I aim for the NVZ line. If they are rolling balls at your feet, then your drops are too deep and/or your trajectory is too lofty. You have to hit more linear drops.
great video, i see that your paddle is horizontal as compared to the head of the paddle more downwards, is this better?
There are different variations, the key is going to be the swing path, open paddle face, and follow through
When you say "be balanced in all your shots", what do you mean by that? Do you mean that our weight should be equally distributed on both feet?
It depends. Usually you want your weight moving forward on drops. When in the transition zone, you want to be in a good split step, with your feet parallel to each other.
While dinking your feet are parallel to the net but at the base line you are perpendicular. How valuable is this drill given the different stance? Should the drop look to your opponents like every other baseline drive? If I hit my drop while parallel to the net I will give the shot away as a drop.
This is true, and is a preference. I’ll go more into depth on this in another video.
Thank you for the video (and all your videos), Jordan! If you hit a 3rd shot drop from the baseline too high and stay back, the opponents can drop your drop shot into the kitchen making it very hard to get to the net to return it. Do you have any suggestions for that? It happens to me (and my partners) too often.
This is definitely true, so adjust accordingly. Usually in higher level play, players will opt to keep the ball deep. Either way, you need to work on your drops so they are a little bit better so that it’s harder for them to drop you.

Great advice, this is exactly how we warm up prior to playing. I have a question unrelated to the video. How often should I replace a paddle being a 4.0+ player using it 5 times a week up to 3 hours a day? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Whenever you feel like it’s affecting your game
Pickleball ❤ ua-cam.com/video/siDd1_8vvrA/v-deo.html
Sometimes the paddle sounds different or there is more vibrations then replace it
Can you tell me what you would set the pickle lobster at for this? Beginner here!
The Ball machine ?
@@BrionesPickleball yes
how are you liking the 003?
Love it !
Nothing new here! If you are going to do these drills but never take a 3rd or 5th shot drop then why bother? You have to develop this technique and use it
Thanks Jordan! Always good to be reminded to work on footwork and hit out front.
Thanks Jim!

Do you realize your spinning your paddle like crazy between shots ? Great video
Never even noticed….
Once you spin its hard not to lol
Which model is that paddle?
Selkirk 003

@@BrionesPickleball Is it the Invikta version?

What ball does he use..?
Dura 40
As one gets older or not as fast, returners have begun to drop it short and not try to keep you back! Wonder if you are at the baseline, your shot should be a drive or lob! Nothing more discouraging as the short drop!
Your drops are not that great if this is consistent happening. Also, a drive drop combo or a lob definitely can work at times.
@@BrionesPickleball when you are 73 check back!
A drive or lob is a better option if that is consistently happening, but like I said, your drops are probably too deep if they are doing this a lot.
You can try to find their side with weaker control (FH or BH), and drop on that side.
I need a drill partner
Get one!! 😊
Yup. My biggest hurdle.
Great video. Thank you. I need a drill partner too!
Also an empty court is hard to find!
Pickleball ❤ ua-cam.com/video/siDd1_8vvrA/v-deo.html
You demoing slice backhand which is not aggressive vs topspin and you should advance to the kitchen after such weak shot.
You should watch more of our videos, in which we go over what you are referring to
👍👍👍
🤙🏼
Most drops during a game are cross court, but so many of the drills demonstrate straight on drops. Why is that?
You can practice it either way. Dropping straight is much harder, so it’s good to practice.
Always thought that spinning your paddle after your shot was a form of distraction to your opponent. What say you?
Yes. Hopefully they don’t ban it 😊
Pickleball ❤ ua-cam.com/video/siDd1_8vvrA/v-deo.html
Only the cool players spin their paddle in-between shots. 😉
What level is your wife. She’s very consistent.
4.75
Your demo does not replicate conditions of the live point. Please consider more aggressive shots you need to respond to

Loved the video. Just 1 criticism, why not introduce the young lady working with you, instead referring to her as she. I find it disturbing.
Disturbing?
She’s my wife and I introduce her in a lot of other videos if you watch our channel. Maybe you should watch some of our other past videos.
@@BrionesPickleball Seeing how this the first video I have watched, how would I know that is your wife. That said, it doesn’t matter who it is, referring to her as “she” is wrong.
When you speak of distance, use "farther" rather than further. Then you'll have my attention.
Thank you!
So, the grammatical difference between an “a” and a “u” lost your attention?
She is obviously not serious about improving her game.
Farther, not further. Use farther when it refers to distance. It’s a very common grammatical error. You will sound more professional when you use proper grammar.
Wow, thanks. I should have gotten a degree in English.
@@BrionesPickleball 😂
I am sign up anyways already but good move to ask AFTER some portion indicating what you can offer.
?
@@BrionesPickleball Sorry for being not clear in my comment.
Often when you look at a clip they ask you to sign up and like BEFORE you can see content. You on the other hand showed first something valuable and then asked to sign up and like, which I thought was a good way to introduce your request. That was all.
