This video teaches principles and techniques to develop faster hand speed at the kitchen line, a crucial skill in pickleball.

It emphasizes the importance of preparation, including using mini split steps and keeping your paddle up and ready.

You'll learn about compact swings, generating power from your core rather than large arm movements.

The video also highlights the importance of anticipating your opponent's shots by recognizing patterns.

It stresses the need to always be prepared for speed-ups and to assume the ball is coming back until the point is over.
