How to hit the flick speed-up by Ed Ju Pickleball!

Ed Ju teaches a highly effective speed-up shot off the bounce in pickleball.

He uses a ball machine to hit him dead dinks, which are ideal for practicing speed-up shots, especially when opponents aren't applying pressure.

Ed teaches the element of surprise in the speed-up shot, showing how a flick of the wrist at the last moment can change a dink into a speed-up.

He tries to hit the ball toward the opponent's shoulder or hip, focusing on precision rather than power.

Ed also discusses reading the opponent's position and paddle orientation to decide when and where to execute the speed-up.

He provides a point-of-view demonstration, imagining playing against a top player like Ben Johns.

This shows how to target specific areas to catch an opponent off guard.

Key Points:

• Practice speed-up shots off the bounce using dead dinks.

• Use a flick of the wrist to change a dink into a speed-up shot.

• Aim for the opponent's shoulder or hip for maximum effectiveness.

• Read the opponent's position and paddle orientation to decide when to speed up.
