Most video instructors either have no assistant or just random players. Your wife, Katrina supports your teaching role in a very professional way in your videos. Her quality feeds and exchanges makes your videos stand apart from all others.
For all the comments about the paddle spins Jordan does - if you come from tennis it's a habit you might build because you typically have different grips for forehands and backhands. You will build muscle memory quickly finding the right bevel on your grip subconsciously. I do the same thing and here is my reasoning: 1 - It helps reset my grip positioning during a point. I switch between eastern and continental during points on the forehand side to get easier topspin when time allows. A quick flick can ensure you have the grip you think you have. 2 - It keeps my hands from getting as sweaty so I have a grip that is less prone to slipping as I play. 3 - It resets your grip pressure and forces your wrist to relax. It's easy to tense up as a point progresses and this can be a quick, subtle way to reset grip pressure. Often I will have my paddle in my off hand until just before a point starts to keep my paddle wrist and grip as relaxed and dry as possible.
This is one of your best instructional videos. Happy to see you with Selkirk - a great Pickleball paddle. You might know my coach, Paul Olson. He was also teaching me the “soft reset” as one of the most important skills.
Another great one thank you. Will definitely try to use this to reset for those bangers and also stop from popping ball up. Thanks for all your hard work .
Coming from [Cough!] years of playing dubs in tennis, these resets come "somewhat" naturally. IMO, Jordan's hints about which level of grip strength to use are some of the best parts ... of ALL of his videos. Very helpful! Another good job, Jordan!
Would love to see this with the ball hit at greater speed. It's easy to adjust when it's hit in practice like this vs a game. :) Love all of your videos... keep up the good work.
I really like your videos and get lots of great pointers and information from them. I do have one constructive critique that applies to many of your videos, particularly videos about stopping pop-ups, making reset shots, dealing with bangers, etc. ... when you show examples of those situations in your videos, the speed of the ball is unrealistically slow for even a mediocre player like myself. Even at my ~3.5 level, bangers, attacking shots at the feet and third shot drives are hit MUCH faster than you demonstrate in your videos (and I'm not talking about shots that are headed out). That difference between your demonstrations and the actual play I encounter limits my ability to fully apply your outstanding lessons. Thanks and keep 'em coming!
Hey Tom, I get this comment all the time. I play at the pro level, and have coached hundreds of players from all over the country. Everything in this video (if applied) will allow you to reset balls that are coming at full speed. Technique is so key, and is what this video focuses on. I will make a video in the future of fast balls hit at me, but just so you know, my technique and approach will be the same, as I drop balls and slow them down on the dime 😊
Great video. I’ve been having this issue and now I know what I’m doing wrong. Can you share a link to the portable net you are using in this video? Thanks again
Great video Jordan I always look forward to your content. Congrats on joining the Selkirk team. What are your thoughts on the Power Air you are using? I know it has power and spin. But how long did it take you to get used to the soft game with it? Is it controllable for 4.0 level players.
Hi Jordan. Love your videos. I have been following you since Primetime PBall. Quick question. Does your Selkirk paddle have an elongated grip? I also use two hands for especially for my backhand. I see you and Katrina both have the same paddle. How do you like it? I was curious about the cut out at the bottom. What happens when the ball hits it?
Good info. However, your opponent is hitting the balls directly to you. What do you do when you have to run or change your position to get to the ball in the first place?
For the more novice players I like to add that they need to check their grip because often they end up with the paddle at the wrong angle because they aren't aware of their grip. Wrong angle is more common with novices, along with all three of Jordan's mentioned.
Spinning the paddle is a trigger. Great baseball hitters have a trigger that gets them comfortable and ready to hit Same thing!! Duh who cares if Jordan spins his paddle?
In the bottom right corner? That's a suggestion from YT. Over 60% of views AREN"T from subscribers. YT wants them to subscribe to drive their platform. That's all it is. It reminds them by hovering over it to subscribe if they haven't because the content creator is putting a TON of work in his videos.
@kylesmorgabord, if you had your own UA-cam channel, you’d know exactly how hard it is to make content for UA-cam. Also, the ONE shot that I think would absolutely transform one’s game, is the reset shot. If you don’t have the touch and control to hit a reset shot, you’ll be stuck at 3.5 forever.

I so agree
I echo what Jim said. Thanks for the videos Jordan.

4 - It helps loose grip / wrist to start with.
Your the best instructor that I have seen ! Thank you !
Thanks Keith!

You're an excellent instructor. 👍🏻
I appreciate that!
Great lesson
Thanks!
Really, really helpful. This is one of my biggest challenges and you broke it down perfectly. Thanks.
Thanks Mike!
Thanks Jordan, great reminders for every level of play with regards to grip pressure. The one thing I keep forgetting when under pressure.
Thanks Jon!

Thanks! 🤙🏼
Helpful for all my other games 😁 it’s all a dead grip atm as I fear losing the racquet !
once again...great stuff. Thanks Jordan!
Thanks Bobby!
Awesome tips!!! Thank you
You are so welcome!
Great video, Jordan. You do a great job of identifying the cause of such things as pop-ups. Your suggestions are spot-on!
Thanks Barry!
Thanks! Very helpful!
Np!
wow, thank you. So good
Thanks!

Also up at the kitchen line.
Lol. Everyone says this. I will make a video of this soon. Key principles are exactly the same.
@@BrionesPickleball 😀
@@BrionesPickleball Specifically, the 3rd shot drive. Tell Katrina to start practicing!! 😁😉
You never see Jordan sweat cause his constantly spinning paddle always provides cooling breeze.
😂😂😂
Jordan another great video, I appreciate your instruction and always try to implement in my game. Thank you so much !
👍🏻👍🏻😊
Yay my first paddle Selkirk !
😎😎
Very helpful. Thanks.
No problem!
Great video. Simple techniques that make a big difference.
Thanks! 😊
Very useful and nice thanks 👍👌🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed the content! Thanks for watching
Great video! Will help get back at those Bangers!
Maybe! I’ll make a video specifically on that soon!
Great video. I notice you use your offhand on or near the paddle. Maybe for stability ?
Yes, you can use your offhand as another option.

Take a drink every time Jordan spins his paddle. Won't make 2min...Love the videos, keep spinning, keep teaching!
Hopefully it’s h2O, so you stay hydrated!

Hey Jordan, will you be doing a review on the Selkirk Airflow paddle? Would love to see it =]
Yes!
@@BrionesPickleball can’t wait!!
Great video. Selkirk on the shorts, shirts, paddles, and even the net. They better treat your right. The hat was your logo though, wasn't it?
That’s our logo 😊
Great video Jordan I always look forward to your content. Congrats on joining the Selkirk team. What are your thoughts on the Power Air you are using? I know it has power and spin. But how long did it take you to get used to the soft game with it? Is it controllable for 4.0 level players.
It is controllable, but definitely a power/spin paddle. If you are an all touch player, it will take some getting used to.
My teammate will appreciate me watching this since he usually has to take the brunt of my stupid pop ups .
Lol
Thank you Jordan and Katrina! Just wondering if you think the Selkirk Power Air is good for control and reset?
I’ll be doing paddle reviews soon, stay tuned!!!
How much control does that paddle have, what Selkirk is it? Thanks for the great vids 👍
Invikta power air.
More of a power and spin paddle, but control is good as well.

I see you and Katrina both have the same paddle. How do you like it? I was curious about the cut out at the bottom. What happens when the ball hits it?
I’ve never hit it playing with it for two months now. They have a shorter and longer handle version.
@@BrionesPickleball Thank you!
Good info. However, your opponent is hitting the balls directly to you. What do you do when you have to run or change your position to get to the ball in the first place?
Get in a wide split step, and get low so that you can be ready if you need to change directions quickly
For the more novice players I like to add that they need to check their grip because often they end up with the paddle at the wrong angle because they aren't aware of their grip. Wrong angle is more common with novices, along with all three of Jordan's mentioned.
That’s important too
When did you switch to Selkirk Jordan?
Last month!
Are you still doing a clinic in Green Valley in December?
My game is faltering. I’m 3.25 but need to reset. Nothing working! Give me a 12 step program. Please
Come to one of our intensive trainings!
are we supposed to 360 flip the paddle like that between shots to get a good grip on the paddle?
Only if you want style points
Yeah, that constant spinning is rather distracting in the videos.
I hear it cools the paddle off...jk
If it’s distracting, you’re focusing on the wrong thing lol.
Why you are not at kitchen line?
This was to show how to work on resets
Why do you spin the paddle?
Old tennis thing
Where the ball goes boils down to paddle angle and how hard it's hit.
In all simplicity, this is correct. Although if it were that easy for players….
Congrats on the Selkirk sponsorship?
Thanks!!
Spinning the paddle is a trigger. Great baseball hitters have a trigger that gets them comfortable and ready to hit
Same thing!! Duh who cares if Jordan spins his paddle?
Lol
Didn't explain how to avoid popups while moving through the transition zone en route to the kitchen line.
Actually I did lol.
He’s the recap in case you missed it.
Light grip pressure
Be balanced and stable
Don’t over-swing
What I would like to see is how to prevent a pop up when your opponent is slamming the ball at your feet.
This is what you need to practice
ua-cam.com/video/M_2112ohgwE/v-deo.html
Thank you!
if the ball is fast, how could you avoid this popping up.
Less or no swing, stable feet and body, and good technique just like I showed here!
Curious why you are always in “no man’s land.”
It’s very important to practice shots from there as a high level player. This “reset shot”, will typically be hit somewhere from the transition zone.
Hey Jason, I love your videos but your constant paddle twirling is driving me crazy!

a guy had on that paddle on the court and said it was rated as best for spin? what is it and do you agree?
Yes, it definitely is made for spin/power
@@BrionesPickleball what is the name and model? Thank you
