Tip of the day

This video offers a quick yet effective tip for achieving a beginner level of topspin in your pickleball shots.

It highlights the crucial role of topspin in keeping the ball in play, especially when hitting hard.

The video introduces a foundational drill involving placing the ball on top of the net and hitting it off without the paddle touching the net.

This drill helps you practice getting the paddle below the ball and brushing up and over it, causing the ball to spin end over end.

The video emphasizes avoiding large swings, a common mistake, particularly for those with a tennis background, as big swings can lead to inaccuracy on short dink shots.

It stresses that the foundation of topspin begins with small, controlled motions, which can then be gradually built upon by adding more swing as you improve.

Key Points:

  • Understanding Topspin: Topspin is essential for keeping the ball in play, especially when hitting hard.

  • Topspin Drill: Practice hitting the ball off the top of the net without touching it, focusing on getting the paddle below the ball and brushing up and over.

  • Avoid Overdoing It: Resist the urge to take large swings, especially for short dink shots, as it can lead to inaccuracy.

  • Start Small: Begin with small, controlled motions to build your topspin foundation, gradually adding more swing as you progress.
