Tip of the day

This video offers a comprehensive guide on developing lightning-fast hands in pickleball, a crucial skill for players of all levels.

It emphasizes that fast hands aren't just about hitting hard, but about hitting the ball downwards towards an opponent's feet.

This forces the opponent to hit upwards, setting up an easy put-away shot.

The video highlights a crucial paddle and wrist technique: shifting the paddle to be more upright and using the wrist when striking the ball to direct it downwards.

It also stresses the importance of compact swings and stable footwork to ensure readiness for the next shot.

The video includes practical drills to improve hand speed, such as the "Hands Battle" drill and the "Crashing to the Net" drill.

Additionally, it offers bonus tips for anticipation, like proper positioning and always having your paddle pointed at the opponent.

Key Points:

  • Hitting Downwards: Focus on hitting the ball downwards towards an opponent's feet to force an upward return.

  • Paddle and Wrist Technique: Shift your paddle to a more upright position and use your wrist to direct the ball downward.

  • Compact Swings: Maintain compact and short swings to ensure readiness for subsequent shots.

  • Stable Footwork: Prioritize stable feet and use your arm to react with minimal foot movement.

  • Drills: Practice the "Hands Battle" drill and the "Crashing to the Net" drill to improve hand speed.

  • Anticipation: Position your body so your chest is in front of where the ball lands, and always have your paddle pointed at the opponent.
