Reducing mishits by Zane Navratil Pickleball

In today’s video, Zane Navratil focuses on the importance of wrist position to prevent mishits and improve control.

He explains that a firm wrist position allows for more consistent shots, even when the ball is hit off-center.

Zane shows how a wrist position that is either up or even, as opposed to down, provides a stronger and more stable grip.

He advises keeping the paddle head pointing upwards, not all the way, but enough to avoid pointing downwards.

This upward angle helps maintain a strong wrist position and prevents the wrist from getting too involved in the shot, leading to more consistent and stable shots.

He emphasizes that this approach is more about maintaining a solid feel and less about muscle pressure, making it easier to focus on the pace and control of the shot.

Key Points:

• Firm Wrist Position: Essential for consistent shots and controlling mishits.

• Paddle Head Upwards: Helps maintain a strong wrist position.

• Reduced Wrist Involvement: Leads to more stable and consistent shots.

• Focus on Feel: More about maintaining a solid feel than muscle pressure.

• Improved Control: Helps in focusing on pace and control of the shot.
