Mastering flick and roll volleys by Briones Pickleball

Add versatility and deception to your net game by mastering the flick and roll volleys, dynamic techniques revealed in today's video.

This video provides a detailed breakdown of how to execute both the flick volley, used for quick, angled shots, and the roll volley, used for a controlled spin and dipping action over the net.

The instruction covers key elements such as wrist action for generating the flick, and forearm rotation combined with a softer touch for the roll.

Footwork and paddle preparation are emphasized for both techniques to ensure optimal contact and control at the non-volley zone line.

Understanding when to use each volley – the flick for sharp angles and the roll for controlled drops – will significantly enhance your ability to win points at the net.

Key Points:

• Flick for angles: Utilize a quick wrist action to create sharp, angled volleys.

• Roll for control: Employ forearm rotation and a soft touch for spin and dipping shots.

• Know when to use: Understand the strategic advantages of both the flick and roll volleys.
