Improving hand speed by That Pickleball Trainer - Connor Derrickson

Connor Derrickson discusses improving hand speed on the pickleball court, a crucial skill for winning more games.

He identifies three main factors contributing to hand speed: athleticism, focus and reaction time, and anticipation.

Athleticism involves being quick, agile, and having good core strength.

Focus and reaction time are about concentrating on the game and reacting swiftly to opponents' shots.

Anticipation, the most important factor, involves predicting opponents' moves and understanding player tendencies.

Connor suggests training in fast-twitch exercises for athleticism, practicing eye exercises for focus, and playing against higher-level players to improve anticipation.
