In addition to recovering to the middle, it’s also helpful to serve from the middle so you have less ground to cover to make your next shot.

Watched a few of your videos now and they are very well done! Thank you and keep them coming! I also appreciate the singles tips as that is the majority of what I play.

Best video we’ve seen, thanks! 🏏

Great video

Thanks for the very helpful tips!

Great advice. Surprisingly I do most of those already

Thanks. There is very little info on strategy for singles. Would like more in the future.

Great video and thanks

Good stuff, Jordan!

Great video! as a side note, I would love to see you and Mark Renneson team up and clean up on the professional circuit. Attitude, skill, hustle, man what a show.

Great Video. Singles is very unique.

I learned that I should come up to the net more where before I felt I should stay back because the better players I play can keep the shot away from me even though I am the fastest and most person in my group. I will be trying this today. The editing for first two minutes could use some work. I feel the maker reiterated the points without adding value. Seemed to not take time executing what he wanted to say. I will also be trying. The backhand tip! My friend consistently beats me so I decided to turn to KZfaq for some help! I will be watching the rest of this after I run the dogs. Thanks!

Very helpful and informative! Loved the extra unspoken advice at min. 9:30 - keeping that one in my arsenal for sure!

Hey, Jordan. During "hit n recover" segment you need to "return" to the middle but NOT necessarily to the baseline.. Take an angle and try to get closer to NVZ . This closes up options for opponent to hit back to.. Great video, I'm starting to train to give singles another chance... Take care Kevin-

Thanks for the video, I'm new to Pickleball...Just wondering is it also a good strategy for the opponent to go to the net after the return. This would put pressure on the server, correct?

Saw your Dad in Vegas yesterday!

Great points! One question about moving back to the center after returning a shot. In tennis, if your return is angled so the opponent is closer to the sideline you don't recover to the exact center of the court but shade a little to the opposite side to cover a possible cross court return. Is this different in pickleball singles?

Thanks for the video, it helped a lot to me and to my teammates in our club. My first question is: what is the strategy after the 2nd shot? Should I hit a 3rd shot drop cross court, when my opponent's fast and deep return comes to my backhand? Or a lob? It didn't help against badminton players, they are extremely fast and can hit great overheads, except a few times, when my lob was very close to the baseline. And a drive with a backhand is hard to hit when my opponent covers most of the right angle. The same for forehand, should I hit a drop? My other question: Is there a difference in strategy, when for example I am 40+, 50+ and 3.5-4.0 or 25 years old with a skill of 4.5? These are the divisions for the 2021 Europian Championship for us.

Good Tips 👍 thanks. I'm just starting out playing. I have a question. On singles, when you are receiving a serve, do you have to return back to you opponent in the same square they served from ?

Dude sounds like an anime boss when hitting the ball! lol Also good tips of moving in when you hit a good deep return

Make them MOVE! Thanks, Jordan!

Tnanks for your tips in single game, my question is when you return the serve and approached the net should I let the ball bounce first before hitting. In doubles when you return serve the next ball coming should bounce first rather than hitting a volley, please clarify this question. I get confuse especially I played tennis before and I get confuse for not letting the ball bounce the second time.

Okay!

How do you call in and out in the NVZ without a line during skinny single.

My "make them move" strategy I call it the two-one. I hit two shots in a row to backhand, then one to forehand. Vice versa. I also do this with serves. 2 or more to same side, then change up.

slice or drive approach and risk reward?

I love how strategies 3 and 4 synergize. I begin the match isolating my opponents backhand. My opponent responds by recovering left of center which opens up the court on the right side. Now they can't recover back to center and their precious backhand is exposed and they have to move it move it move.

The problem I have is getting to the net on my serve. I find this difficult and find myself getting sent back and forth. Probably it is my 3rd shot drop.

You're going to regret serving to my backhand.. #SliceOfDeath

I think the 2 bounce rule is bad & needs to be eliminated. All it does is give the advantage to the player returning serve - that's opposite of what should happen. The server should have the advantage, that's why you get rewarded with the serve when you win a side out - to have the advantage; but the stupid 2 bounce rule destroys that.

Masking and not telegraphing where your going to shoot seriously handicaps opposition.
