Mastering the backhand counter punch by Davis Pickleball

In today’s video, Davis and his partner demonstrate a drill to enhance attacking and counter-attacking.

The drill is played on half of the court, focusing on straight-ahead play.

It starts with a dink, and then players speed up the ball when they feel they have an attackable shot.

Davis emphasizes targeting the opponent's body, specifically aiming for the shoulders or hips, to make the shot difficult to return.

The drill also helps players work on their counter flicks and quick jabs.

Davis discusses the importance of aiming slightly off the body, especially at the wings, to exploit weaknesses.

He highlights how this drill enhances reaction time and prepares players for immediate counter shots.

The video showcases several rounds of the drill, with both players adapting and improving their shots and strategies.

Key Points:

• Focus on attacking balls in the yellow zone and countering effectively.

• Aim for the opponent's body, specifically the shoulders or hips, for difficult returns.

• Targeting slightly off the body, especially at the wings, can exploit weaknesses.

• The drill mentioned in the video improves reaction time and readiness for immediate counter attacks.
