Good video. Really helpful. One thing you should consider adding is a discussion on the grips for slice and topspin dinks (I assume you use continental for the slice, but I wasn't sure on the topspin when using both hands to grip the handle).
Jordan, thanks for your help. Good job! I am glad your backyard is coming along (the hammocks are nice). Since your house is yellow, how about painting the cement wall around the court. The place looks like a prison courtyard from certain angles!
Really helpful video thanks! Would you consider doing a follow-up battle on different dinking styles for the forehand cross court? I think my footwork is messed up because if the ball gets outside of my right shoulder (right handed) I usually dump the ball into the net. But maybe you can better demonstrate the correct paddle angle, arm movement, and different shot options that you have for forehand cross court.
Any comment on using the spin you receive to your advantage or when you reverse the spin it can lead to errors. For example, I find that if I receive a good slice dink that is low and I try to hit an aggressive slice dink back that I error in the net because slicing a slice reverses the spin. So, I try to use the opposite spin that I receive. As long as the slice I receive isn’t too low I will hit the two-handed topspin roll back because it’s using the spin I receive to my advantage.
I think about how high the ball is to keep it very simple. If it’s a low ball, I’m better off using slice. If I can get under it and in good position, I’ll use topspin
No need to since your paddle position combined with your arm movement causes back spin to occur. Moving your wrist for backspin shots causes unnecessary movement and can create inconsistent shots.
Think about standing on a rug and having it pulled from under you. That is slice. You are more likely able to control how and where the person tumbles when you pull the rug in a constant direction versus varying that direction. So, you don't use your wrist for slice in order to have greater control of your shot. Keep your wrist locked in position.
The less joints involved the better. Swinging your arm as a unit from your shoulder lets you gain consistency more quickly. The more joints involved (shoulder, elbow and wrist), the more variables there are to deal with and the harder consistency becomes. Think of how difficult swinging a golf club with 3 joints would be compared to swinging a golf club with a solid shaft. Consistency (and patience) are most players biggest challenges.
It’s much easier, more accurate and you get more power if you skip the two handed backhand and hit a left handed forehand. As Caden pointed out the two handed backhand does not use the right hand so why put it on the paddle? It just limits your reach and mobility.
Stability and consistency is why the two hander is used. Most players can’t use their off hand like that. Also, switching hands is not as efficient. Adding the left hand on top is quicker and more efficient.
Disagree. If using two hands was more efficient, quicker, etc. etc. than switching hands you would also use two hands on your forehand side. I do agree that most folks have to practice switching hands before they can do it …. but that’s the same for the two handed backhand.

Great video: #1 foot work, #2 swing pattern, #3 pros and cons of slice vs top, #4 fun best of 3 demo

I use a continental grip on my right hand for both

Great video! I would also love a forehand slice/topspin dink video :)
You got it!
What grip do you use when serving?
Eastern

Would love to see topspin forehand dink video:)

@@BrionesPickleball great video! Thank you:)
I see you’re using the luxx? Do you use any customizations on it?
Lead tape on both sides above the handle.
About 5 inches on each side
@@BrionesPickleballthanks! About how often do ya switch out the luxx with a new one?
I’ve played with the same one for at least 6-8 months
Why don't you use any wrist w your slice?
No need to since your paddle position combined with your arm movement causes back spin to occur. Moving your wrist for backspin shots causes unnecessary movement and can create inconsistent shots.

Wrist would make it inconsistent

Smile :), you just been sliced; frown :(, you just been rolled!!!

@bobs1644 lol. Why don’t they play with two forehands in tennis then?
It’s a hundred year old game. Are they behind?
Because they need the power from the baseline …. In tennis you rarely dinks like PB. In PB if you dink you dont don’t need the power.
