John Cincola, a seasoned coach and pro, shares valuable insights on getting faster hands at the kitchen line—a vital skill in pickleball.

Cincola points out that no matter how skilled a player is in other aspects, slow reflexes during volleys can drastically impact their game.

Using pro JW Johnson, known for his exceptional hand speed, as a case study, Cincola breaks down the mechanics behind effective volleying.

He emphasizes the importance of weight distribution, balance, and minimal head movement to maintain control and speed during intense exchanges.

Moreover, Cincola encourages purposeful practice, focusing on these elements to refine one's volleying technique.

By analyzing elite players like Johnson, players can glean practical strategies to improve their quickness and efficiency at the net.

Key Points:
