How to beat bangers by John Cincola Pickleball

This video tackles the challenge of playing against "bangers" in pickleball, players who rely heavily on power shots.

Pro, John Cincola, explains that a true banger is someone who uses power as their main strategy, without a backup plan, and not just anyone who hits the ball hard.

He then debunks a common myth: slowing down the game doesn't necessarily beat a banger.

Instead, this approach might let them off easy for their aggressive, often inaccurate shots.

The video offers three strategies to counter bangers effectively.

First, it suggests punishing their poor shots by hitting back with precision and confidence.

Second, it advises learning to let go of balls likely to go out, making decisions quickly based on the situation before the shot is made.

Lastly, it recommends avoiding giving bangers the shots they love by keeping the ball low and avoiding "dead" shots that are easy for them to smash.

Key Points

• Bangers use power without a backup strategy, often choosing poor shots.

• Simply slowing down play doesn't work against bangers; it might even encourage them.

• Counterattack confidently to disrupt a banger's rhythm.

• Make quick decisions to let likely out balls go, reducing their scoring chances.

• Keep balls low!
