  • What do you think of Ian’s game? Stay tuned for the doubles gameplay! 😊
  • @melisamelisa8929
    Mind-blowing video! Witnessing Ian's rapid improvement under Jordan's guidance is incredible. The depth of strategy and mechanics covered in just 30 minutes is unreal. And with my Oliver-Sport paddle by my side, I'm inspired to hit the court and level up my game too!
  • @terraXR
    One of the best PB videos I've ever seen. As a long-time tennis player, I wish I would have had someone like Jordan around when I made the transition to PB. The adjustments Ian had to make were exactly the ones I had to puzzle out ... open stance volley? That's crazy man! :)
  • @paulogden7417
    Brilliant video. Fascinating to see both Ian's ability to grasp strategy and mechanics quickly AND Jordan's skill in teaching and evaluating at a hyper pace while constantly encouraging. Basically a pickleball camp wrapped in 30 minutes.
  • @katymurphy6866
    Thanks for the coaching pointers. I played this morning using these simple adjustments to my game and I won not once but three games in a row against players who only two weeks ago were far more advanced than me. They were all like where did you come from. It made my day. Thank you.
  • SO great to see Ian get coached and to see his interest in the sport! I’m a 4.5 tennis player making the transition and this is easily the most helpful video I’ve found. Ian’s a GREAT coach and our tennis levels and thought processes are very similar (obviously, cause I’ve taken so much of his advice!). The silliest part of the whole pickleball/tennis thing is this simple question, “is it fun?” Both of the games are SUPER fun and TOTALLY different strategically. Are we mad at ping pong players?? No! 😂 Pickleball is so stupid fun. And I’m still playing tennis. And ping pong. 😂 You got a new subscriber!
  • @jimpagano9445
    Can’t decide whether I’m depressed or motivated by the fact that Ian is better than I am after 20 minutes!
  • @sharonromank3741
    So much fun to see my old online coach Ian learn the ins and outs of pickleball. ian is a master at teaching tennis. Neat to see him give pickleball a try. I am waiting for some of Ian's great tennis tutorials to cross over to pickleball.
  • This is so good Jordan, thanks for posting. That transition reset was very helpful
  • @trinhinc
    That was so educational while making it so fun to watch. ty guys.
  • @loricody4956
    Excellent job teaching! Thanks for sharing this. Saving to watch again, later.
  • @jamesgartner4305
    I've seen many of your videos -- this one is the best. Learned a great deal from BOTH of you. Do more.
  • @ojonesjr
    Big fan of your videos. Ive been watching before i knew how to even take score in a pickleball game. This is definitely one of your best videos, pleaee keep them coming.
  • @weswes5876
    Two incredible coaches -- together! So cool guys! That was like 20 lessons in 20 minutes. And Ian, you are doing amazing! Can't wait to see you guys in the match! Appreciate you both so much.
  • This was great to watch! Good explanations and conversation about what we are watching. Thanks!
  • @KUREOUSBUM
    My favorite video of yours...and I enjoy them all. This is essentially Cliffs Notes for advanced training.
  • Keeping the stance open and square to the kitchen line even when pinching middle is really helpful. Ive never heard anyone say that and so while I'm really good at poaching I've been struggling against cross court passing shots.
  • @myonlylov
    that was great. thanks. trying to keep the ball in the middle and split approach was great.
  • The tennis background helps plus he is a quick learner! Great content, I learn a lot from your videos Jordan! Thank you for posting👍👍
  • This was fantastic to watch. Ian's transition is incredible. So much fun to watch.
