Tip of the day

This video from Enhance Pickleball provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and applying topspin in pickleball, especially for players without a tennis background.

It explains that topspin is a rotational spin applied by rolling the paddle up the back of the ball, causing it to drop faster and accelerate after hitting the ground, making it harder for opponents to time their shots.

The video outlines five main technical elements for consistent topspin: the brush (upward paddle motion), low to high motion, two ways to get the brush (arm or wrist lift), using a closed grip, and making contact out in front and to the side of the body.

It also suggests practicing topspin on a windscreen or wall to get a feel for the spin.

The video emphasizes that a gritty paddle surface is crucial for maximizing topspin.

Finally, it details shot-by-shot topspin adjustments for serves, drives, topspin drops, topspin dinks, and roll volleys/flicks/speed-ups.

Key Points:

  • What is Topspin: A rotational spin making the ball drop faster and accelerate after bouncing.

  • Technical Elements: Focus on the brush, low-to-high motion, arm/wrist lift, closed grip, and contact point.

  • Practice: Use a windscreen or wall to practice and feel the topspin.

  • Paddle Surface: A gritty paddle surface is essential for maximizing topspin.

  • Shot Adjustments: Apply specific topspin techniques for serves, drives, drops, dinks, and volleys.
