3 new shots pros use that you can too by Briones Pickleball

Today’s video is packed with tips for players who want to up their game by adding new shots to their arsenal.

Jordan and Caden focus on developing advanced techniques to enhance their skills, regardless of the player's current level.

They emphasize the importance of continuously adding new tools to improve one's game, sharing personal experiences with specific shots they're working on.

The first technique discussed is the two-handed backhand topspin drop.

This shot aims to create a more aggressive drop that can set up the player for better positioning and opportunities at the net.

Jordan and Caden highlight the importance of footwork, paddle position, and the motion required to execute this shot effectively.

Next, they introduce the two-handed backhand drive, a powerful shot that can add offensive pressure from the backhand side.

This requires precise footwork and a slight upward motion to ensure the ball clears the net while maintaining speed and direction.

The video also covers two-handed topspin dinks, focusing on using both hands to add topspin pressure to dinks, making it hard for opponents to return.

This technique requires good footwork and control over the paddle's angle to execute correctly.

Lastly, they discuss finding opportunities for offense in the transition zone.

Instead of always resetting the ball, they explore using a topspin volley as a speed-up shot from the transition zone, aiming to catch opponents off guard.

Key Points

• Develop a two-handed backhand topspin drop for a more aggressive approach to the net.

• Add a two-handed backhand drive to enhance offensive capabilities from the backhand side.
