How to Hit a Two-Handed Backhand Topspin Dink by Anna Leigh Waters!

Anna Leigh Waters teaches a powerful pickleball shot: the two-handed backhand topspin dink.

Anna Leigh emphasizes the importance of using the left hand to guide the paddle, drawing from her tennis background.

This shot can be offensive and defensive and is about controlling the angle and spin.

The key is to drop the paddle to the left thigh or knee (assuming you are right-handed), then accelerate upwards, creating spin.

This shot keeps opponents guessing and can be a game-changer once you know how to use it!

Key Points:

• The two-handed backhand topspin dink is both an offensive and defensive shot.

• The left-hand plays a dominant role, guiding the paddle during the shot.

• The paddle should drop to the left thigh or knee before accelerating upwards.

• The shot can pull opponents wide, but be cautious of giving them an angle for an around-the-post shot.

• Anna Leigh's tennis background greatly influences her technique, making the shot almost like a left-handed swing motion.
