Tip of the day
Jordan Briones teaches how to master the block or reset volley in pickleball.
When opponents attack, especially when the ball is directed downwards, a block or reset volley can be more effective than counterattacking.
Jordan emphasizes three key adjustments: grip pressure, the amount of push or lift given to the ball, and paddle angle.
A lighter grip allows the ball to absorb more, reducing its pace.
The paddle angle helps control the ball's trajectory and clearance over the net.
Practicing these adjustments in different situations, considering the incoming ball's pace and the contact point's height, can help in mastering this technique.
Key Points:
Grip Pressure: A lighter grip allows for better ball absorption, reducing its pace.
Push or Lift: The amount of push or lift given to the ball is essential, especially when further back from the non-volley zone line.
Paddle Angle: A more open paddle face sends the ball higher, while a closed one sends it in a more linear path.
Pace of the Incoming Ball: Faster balls require less help to get over, and slower, softer balls may require more push and a tighter grip.
Contact Point: Lower contact points may require more help to get the ball over the net.
