Tip of the day

This video breaks down the technique into six key steps for hitting more powerful and consistent forehand drives in pickleball.

It emphasizes that power doesn't require a large physique.

The video highlights the importance of using your non-dominant hand to coil and turn your body for power.

It also stresses stepping into your shots to transfer weight from the ground up.

The video advises dropping the paddle just below the level of the ball and swinging upwards to generate topspin.

It recommends a quick, compact swing for better control and power.

The ideal contact point is out in front of your body.

Finally, it covers the follow-through, emphasizing full extension and weight transfer.

Key Points:

  • Preparation: Actively use your non-dominant hand (left hand for right-handed players) to help coil your body, which generates power for your swing.

  • Weight Transfer: Power originates from the ground up, so it's crucial to step into your shot rather than waiting for the ball or moving laterally.

  • Swing Path: To generate topspin, drop your paddle just below the level of the ball and swing upwards at the point of contact.

  • Acceleration: Aim for a quick and compact swing rather than a big, slow, long one. This helps with control, power, and making good contact.

  • Contact Point: For a powerful drive, make contact with the ball further out in front of your body, ideally in line with your front leg.
