One of my tennis coaches did a similar drill for return of serve, with your back to the wall just drop racket at side and accelerate forward to meet the ball. I noticed during your drill you are getting surprising pop for very little hand movement ... I am curious, loose continental grip during these drills? As others mentioned, your video quality is really good.@BrionesPickleball
Would love to see a video on protecting your body from hard drives and speedups. I see a lot of videos about hitting a volley from your backhand and forehand side and it's really good but I'd like to see proper form for protecting the various parts of your body. I know you can slide and hit a volley from your forehand and backhand side but many times it's too fast and I end up moving to early and just messing up.
What helped me is when at the kitchen line, and for example your partner returns too high, and the player in front if you is about to hit it fast at you, is that I get low. Really low. Almost like I'm trying to duck from the ball. But with paddle up and ready. Like a catcher. It limited the radius you need to cover. You're either reaching up or up left/right. And if the ball comes in hot, higher than you reaching up, that helps you gauge a shot that is probably going out. We all know it's important to get low. But when I started getting even lower in the situation I just detailed, it helped me stop getting drilled in the chest. Last night I played, and this guy kept feeding them into me fast like that, and I kept just blocking them right back, and he'd choke. And it was really me just paddle up, in front of my face, deep knee bend, ricochetting his drive right back at him, and never was ready for the return.
This video really helped me in my game. One question I had was for fast hands exchanges, do you visually track the ball all the way to contact on your paddle with your eyes
Might want to change your title. 2x your reaction time or increase your reaction time means you are reacting slower, not faster. How to decrease your reaction time is what you are teaching (and doing a good job of.) So it would be 1/2 Your Reaction Time.... or how to Cut your reaction time in half.
hard to take this guy seriously when the title of the video is "2x your reaction time". He repeatedly says "increasing reaction time" is a good thing. He doesn't know that decreasing reaction time is the goal and not increasing?

Thanks for providing these videos. I learn something every time! Good refresher course too
Np !
doubling my reaction time would mean I just got 100% slower.....:)
Haha thanks
LOL!!!
Lmao 1 second into the video
@@BrionesPickleball good video though :D
😂 love the wit
Ignore the goofy comments Jordan. Your video quality and features have improved a lot. I really like the wall exercise!
Thanks! 😊

Great content again Jordan! Are you using the continental grip for both forehand and backhand volleys? Cheers!👍👍
Yes I am!

Great suggestion!
We already have a few videos that cover some of this.

Awesome!!

No. Practice against a wall, and you’ll find out it’s impossible to do that.
Is there advantage some players just use forehand grip at kitchen like eastern or western and just use forehand only and not ever use backhand?
I would not recommend that.
oh man, it should be "reducing your reaction time." Double reaction time makes your slower,. LOL 😀
Depends on how you look at it 😎
0:31 I feel like the paddle height has more to do with how high the opponent is attacking you from rather than “this is too high vs low”
Yes, although for most fast hands
Exchanges, pro players have their ready position around navel height.

True. Nevertheless, the video content is great. 🎉 So at the end he says „improve“, I suppose that‘s what he meant.
Put a link to your video on reaction time
You may allow to add footworks for extra power. It is doable.
👍🏻
You have to take a drink after every paddle spin...:)
That’s a lot of water.
In my next video I’ll show you how to miss every shot
lol
@ I do enjoy your videos and am just having fun with you
Expect JW....the flick wizard writed his own rules
Lol
👍
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am looking for a way to cut my reaction time in half...not double it! ;)
Lol
tell this to JW dude
Already told him
I see your 2x increase and raise you infinity.
We’ll see which one people like better lol
How are you adjusting/liking the pro air coming from the Luxx?
Still getting used to it….
You mean, HALVE your reaction time and DECREASE your reaction time!
Yes lol
Maybe stretch your arm more and not put it too close to your body.
?
Slam Master. Scott Moore endorsed training paddle.
?
Dude you want to half your reaction time, not double it 😅
😎

If you just listened to what I taught in the video, you’d have better reaction time.
