How to beat bangers by ThatPickleballGuy!

Today’s video, from pro Kyle Kozuta, focuses on strategies to counter bangers.

Bangers are players who hit every shot hard, aiming to overpower their opponents.

Kyle delves into understanding the mindset of a banger and then outlines tactics to either make them change their approach or exploit their aggressive style.

He emphasizes the importance of anticipating hard hits and not being surprised by them.

The video covers key strategies like positioning yourself properly during serves, returning the ball deep, and moving toward the kitchen line.

Kyle also discusses the significance of hitting the ball deep to give yourself more time to react and move to the kitchen.

Additionally, he advises on handling high balls and effectively blocking shots by keeping a firm wrist and making contact out in front.

The video includes practical demonstrations and drills to reinforce these strategies.

Key points:

• Understand and anticipate the aggressive playstyle of bangers.

• Position yourself effectively during serves and returns.

• Return the ball deep to gain time and advantageous positioning.

• Block shots effectively with a firm wrist and forward contact.

• Use strategic placement to exploit the aggressive approach of bangers.
