5 Mistakes Ruining Your Hand Speed

Hand speed is arguably the most critical skill in pickleball because it allows you to win fast-paced battles at the net regardless of your other strengths.

The first step to developing quicker hands is to stay relaxed and avoid flinching or panicking when the ball comes at you fast.

You must win the downward battle by focusing on paddle angle and a compact stroke rather than simply trying to out-swing your opponent with power.

Starting ahead in a hands battle involves placing your initial attack strategically to force an awkward or jammed response from your opponent.

Proper defensive technique requires a compact motion where you set your wrist early for either a forehand or backhand before the ball arrives.

Keep your takeback minimal and use a short, crisp pop through the ball before immediately returning to a neutral ready position.

Anticipating patterns based on the trajectory of your previous shot can help you lean toward the side where the ball is most likely to return.

Using the sideline to protect one side of your body can also simplify your defensive choices and allow you to focus on a single shot.

Key Points:

• Remain relaxed and low in your legs to avoid flinching and maintain athletic movement.

• Focus on hitting the ball down in the court instead of just trying to hit it harder than your opponent.

• Buy extra reaction time when defending by taking a quick step back to see the ball better.

• Use a short and compact stroke with a set wrist to eliminate slow, large takebacks.

• Return your paddle to a neutral position instantly after every shot to stay ready for the next one.

• Play the odds by anticipating returns based on the "triangle" trajectory and court positioning.
