This ATTACK Completely CRUSHES Opponents by Briones Pickleball

Want to step up your offensive game? This video explains the backhand flick and roll volleys.

The flick volley is a quicker, shorter swing, designed to add pace and pressure when opponents are at the kitchen line or in the transition area.

The roll volley, on the other hand, is a smoother, longer, and more upward swing.

It generates topspin and depth when opponents are in the transition area or back at the baseline.

The video includes demonstrations of drills for both shots and a live drill combining both, where the goal is to utilize either a roll or a flick, depending on the situation.

The presenters emphasize that these are essential offensive shots, particularly for 4.0-4.5+ skill levels.

Key Points:

Flick Volley: A quicker, shorter swing for pace and pressure.
Roll Volley: A smoother, longer swing for topspin and depth.
Technique: Focus on proper wrist and arm movement.
When to Use: Choose the appropriate volley based on opponent positioning.
Drills: Practice both volleys to improve your offensive game.
