How To Hit Stronger Groundstrokes by Zane Navratil Pickleball

Zane Navratil emphasizes the significance of the non-dominant hand in achieving powerful groundstrokes.

During preparation, keeping the non-dominant hand on the paddle ensures proper body rotation, activating the legs, core, and hips.

This technique contrasts with the common mistake of relying solely on the arm, which lacks power and control.

Zane also touches on the differences between one-handed and two-handed backhands, underscoring the importance of hand preparation.

Groundstrokes, while beneficial, are not mandatory for pro-level play in doubles, but they offer an added advantage.

Key Points:

• Non-Dominant Hand: Central to achieving power and control in groundstrokes.

• Body Rotation: Engage the entire body, especially the legs, hips, and core.

• One-Handed vs. Two-Handed Backhand: Both require proper hand preparation.

• Avoid Arm-Only Strokes: They lack power, control, and topspin.

• Groundstrokes in Doubles: Beneficial but not a must-have for pro-level play.
