The Backhand Speedup by All Things Pickleball

Alex teaches a powerful backhand top spin speedup shot.

She explains the grip: place your index finger up on the paddle's throat and the other hand at the bottom.

For the swing, start with the paddle tip down at 5 o'clock, then brush up to 12 o'clock for topspin.

The follow-through can be a full swing or a compact forward motion.

She emphasizes a low, athletic stance, hitting the ball at its apex for control.

Alex advises aiming the shot straight down the line or down the middle to split opponents.

She includes drills for practicing the shot, focusing on form and game-like scenarios.

Key Tips:

1. Use a two-handed grip for the backhand top spin speed up.

2. Start with the paddle tip down and brush up for topspin.

3. Stay low and athletic, hitting the ball at its apex.

4. Aim down the line or through the middle, avoiding direct shots at the far opponent.

5. Practice with specific drills to perfect the shot and its application in games.
