World #1 Ben Johns Teaches Secret to Pickleball's 4th Shot Off The Bounce by Josh J Pickleball

Want to master the 4th shot off the bounce?

This video, featuring Ben Johns, breaks down the techniques for attacking high-bouncing balls in the kitchen.

Ben emphasizes using a "sweeping motion".

This involves raising your elbow high and getting around the outside of the ball.

This helps keep the shot low and controlled.

The video also highlights the importance of form and contact point.

Adjusting your form is necessary when the ball is outside your normal strike zone.

Ben also explains how to adjust to your opponent's position.

By mastering this shot, you can force opponents to adapt their strategy.

Key Points:

Sweeping Motion: Use a sweeping motion to hit high-bouncing balls in the kitchen.
Form and Contact Point Adjust your form for high bounces and control the shot with the contact point.
Out of the Air vs. Off the Bounce: If the ball will bounce higher than the ideal contact point, it's better to let it bounce.
Adjusting to Opponent's Position Adjust pace and aim for corners or the body based on the opponent's positioning.
Learning the Technique The video includes demonstrations and attempts to learn the sweeping motion.
