Around 9:45, zane describing the flick and even hiding whether he's going to hit the inside or outside of the ball. Crazy how deep the thought process is in every shot
2 of my favorite! I am trying to add the twoey so this came at a perfect time. I just need to drill with it, take my lumps in rec games. Great discussion on when to take 2nd hand off. Thanks!
Two great guys. This was a great video! I have a hard time letting go from 2 hands to 1 hand. It’s almost like when I am holding 2 hands, I feel like am married to the handle with those 2 hands. That can cause an issue because I get jammed up when the ball is sped up at my chest. Just need to drill this 2 to 1 handed switch. Keep up the awesome content.
Great content as usual! Two questions: 1. Are you generally using same technique on 2hbh dink vs drive or is it like forehand where drives contact is a bit more away from the body to create space for more wrist lag? 2. Curious if either you or zane are playing with changing grip on 2hbh speed up (ie eastern on the non dominant hand). Also, random idea....i find this angle to be really great for capturing kitchen exchanges. Wondering if might be useful to have a video on what equiptment/angle setups to use for recording our own play if we dont have pro grade equiptment.
when Zane chooses to do the 2 handed BH, when do you want to step back for an opened body position vs keeping both toes on the NVL for a closed body position? i see lots of videos on the 2 handed BH (for sure drive, but also resets, speedups, volleys and sometimes counters) they step back first w/ the left foot (for a right hander) to open their body position. i'm assuming this is to allow for a bit more body twist/hip turn into the 2 handed for power. but Zane looks like he keep his toes on the line, body closed.
Wow 🤩 Dinking with Zane Navratil ! How cool is he to visit your back yard pickleball court😁 Great tips, I mean seriously great tips! Haven’t heard these anywhere else, love transition on 2 -handed to 1 -hander slide for chicken wing area!
What grip is the right hand in? Do you get to sit eastern and just add the second hand? Curious what the hands are doing when at any second you have to decide between, FH - BH - 2HBH.
If I have time to place my hands for a two handed backhand, I have enough time to switch hands. I much prefer to just switch hands (same motion, same amount of time). By switching hands I have much greater reach, much more power, and better accuracy. Basically I have two forehands, much better. I learned this playing handball …. obviously no backhands in handball, just two forehands. Try it you might like it. (I do play the backhand sometimes when dinking and in firefights😊😊 …. But not from the baseline).
This is such a horrible video lol. This is so bad I'm literally unsubscribing. I only got through the first 6 minutes. There's no substance here. It's just two guys hitting the ball back and forth while shooting the breeze with the occasional text overlay of some of the recently spoken buzzwords. This video almost feels like it was created by AI.
@@BrionesPickleballI did go back and watch it. Here's my notes from this video. 0:00 Intro about the 2H backhand. When to use 1H vs 2H and the advantages of each. 0:27 Z: "When in hands battles, I'm prepared for 2H. Default is 2H because of stability and maneuverability." 1:00 Drill explanation -- At some point, as the ball is farther right, you need to go to 1H. 1:32 Drill 1:43 B: "That thing's coming off that thing dude" 1:54 B: "You know what, that's really good dude, I haven't gotten to that point yet. I've been trying to add the two-hander on. I haven't gotten to the point where I'm here and then I'm sliding here." 2:04 Z: "That's one of the hardest part of the drill. It helps you decide where that spot is for you." 2:30 B: "In your opinion, or when you're playing, you can slide right and stay backhand, or go to 1H. When do you decide that?" 2:42 Z: "For me, leaning and using 2H is option #1. Sometimes the ball is too fast. It's faster to go to 1H. I use 1H when I can't use 2H" 3:07 B: "So it's a time thing. If you have enough time, 2H. If you don't have enough time, 1H." 3:23 Ad for training program (This is 100% fine with me. I'm 100% sure your training programs are excellent, not being sarcastic) 4:08 More hitting of backhands volleys back and forth. 4:52 B: "You talked about Control, maneuverability, and more power with your left. So when would you use 1H volleys instead of 2?" 5:05 Z: "I use 2H if I can set it up. The time to use 1H is for reach. If a ball is really far out wide. 5:51 Drill explanation. Use 1H if hitting a volley, use 2H if letting it bounce. 6:07 Drill 6:31 Talk about topspin 6:47 Talk about being ready for a speedup with 2H. If it's not a speedup, you have time to take your hand off and use 1H. 7:22 Drill 7:50 That's 2-in-1? 8:17 Drill 8:35 B: "What would you say is your technique? How would you teach people that shot?" Didn't really explain what shot it was. 8:48 Z: "That's a pretty involved shot and a loaded question, might be a whole video." Explains several things about that shot. 9:54 Z: "What I'm most passionate about is that you should be using 2H when dinking. If I dink with a 1H BH, everybody knows it's going to be a dink. With 2H, it's unpredictable." 11:07 B: "I'll feed you 3 balls, try to make them look the same, topspin dink on one, speed up, or do something else." 12:01 B: "For the speed up, where does the power come from?" 12:20 Z: "The power and stability comes from left hand. Drill with hitting just the left hand." 13:16 Drilling 13:30 Talking about follow-through, options for where to attack 14:06 Drill explanation -- Going to dink everything to Z's BH, Z will use 1H flick volley, 2H counter, off-the-bounce speedup, and topspin dink 14:46 Drill 17:00 B: "Final thoughts?" 17:17 Z: Use 2H in quick exchanges and off-the-bounce to conceal attacks, and use 1H for reach. Today, some people use just one or the other, but likely in the future people will have and use both. 17:57 B: Outro
Great having Zane as a guest! Great content as always.
Great to have him !
Hope your channel grows quickly. You deserve this. At our pickleball lessons and courts (northern California), people are talking about your channel
Much appreciated!
Very helpful video! Thank you for getting into the details and asking Zane follow up questions.
Glad it was helpful!
Loved the "edit to make it in" shot to Mars 🤣 Bet Zane appreciated that!
😂😂

You got this! 💪🏼
So nice of you 2 gentlemen to share your wealth of knowledge. Great video.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Thanks Jordan, great to have other pros/coaches giving their insights and practice drills
Thanks!
I couldn't wait to practice this. Love it. Thank you!
You got this!
Your background music is fine for me. Doesn’t bother my ears hehe. Keep up the great work. Thank you for the video.
Awesome, thank you!

Great question! We’ll have to do a follow up video on this!

Either way, but I’d recommend stepping back
Great content. As a 2 hander user, I needed this one!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow 🤩 Dinking with Zane Navratil ! How cool is he to visit your back yard pickleball court😁 Great tips, I mean seriously great tips! Haven’t heard these anywhere else, love transition on 2 -handed to 1 -hander slide for chicken wing area!
Thanks for watching!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Zane seems like he'd be heaps chill to ball up with
Yes!
That slide method is really good I gotta add that to my game and get used to it Great video guys
👍🏻
What grip is the right hand in? Do you get to sit eastern and just add the second hand? Curious what the hands are doing when at any second you have to decide between, FH - BH - 2HBH.
I sit continental right hand, and just add my left on top. Makes it easy.
Thanks @@BrionesPickleball
Great video as usual! The TH BH seems to be essential for higher level play. Looks like you enjoy the Selkirk control air invikta?
I love it!
I love it!
How long of a handle is ideal for the two-handed backhand?
I would say min 5.25
Excellent video!
Glad you liked it!
Hey Jordan, what the difference between a topspin dink and a topspin speedup?
Swing speed, and a couple other important factors. I’ll have to make a video comparing them soon
@@BrionesPickleball hey Jordan so for a topspin dink swing slower and for a speed up go full? Please clarify this is a jest in I am so confused with.
Dinks are always slower, speed ups are faster in general
Wow this was great! Going to go practice!
Have fun!
Great teaching video. U the best.
😎
With all sincerity, the background music does not help at all.
Thanks
Love the twoey content
👍🏻🔥

I think it takes more time to do that, and definitely would not recommend that when volleying.
great stuff!
Thanks!!

We appreciate it !
Great video. Try India’s Flame on Rural & the 60. 😃
We go there all the time! 😊
Very cool
Thanks !
