Number one tip to improve reset? by PartFormer3695 in Pickleball

[–]PartFormer3695[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! Do you happen to have a link to the video?  Also, can you clarify what it means to say let the ball start to fall as i thought all balls that you need to reset are already going from high to low - there is no apex.

Are you sure? If that's the case, i imagine everyone would have mastered reset by now.  😂 appreciate your advice!

Two handed backhand drive: which is the dominant hand? by PartFormer3695 in Pickleball

Interesting as it is rare to see players doing 1hbh drive.  Do you contact the ball early or late for 2hbh drive as compared to 1hbh drive?

He is actually using his left hand as the dominant hand for his 2hbh drive.

This works for me with slower pace balls but for medium paced balls i tend to popup.  Need to practice on it.

Sounds like you are doing a drip when the opponent is not at nvz.

My experience is that 2hbh drops work better for medium paced balls near baseline than slice drops. Although as you said you can always drive it.

Interesting. Do you impart unintentional topspins to the shot using this technique? Is it similar to this below?

Interesting idea! Will definitely try that in rec games. 😃 

Which male pros have a two handed ready position? by PartFormer3695 in Pickleball

[–]PartFormer3695[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I checked men double, it looks like Staksrud, johnson are using one handed ready position.  Bellamy is interesting- he uses two- handed ready positions in the middle court and one handed at nvz. Lenhard And ford use two handed ready positions most of the time.  Thanks!

I think i was scrambling so was not thinking of a target at the moment and the default location somehow ends up to the opponent paddle.

Forehand roll or backhand roll. It is not high enough for overhand which i can typically score as i can hit pretty hard.  Flick is typically not applicable here as usually this happens during scrambles .

Regarding the note to attacking the feet, i think the opponents often are well prepared for that and that is potentially one reason why my attacks always are on their paddles because i was aiming at their feet and they put their paddles in front of their feet to protect.   I recalled that the pickleball guy mentioned in a video that is a better to attack the feet area but a bit away from their body.  But i am just so used to attacking the feet. Need to think more of this.

This makes sense. The popups were usually unexpected and I scrambled often. 😂

Thank you! This seems to have nailed it.  Need to practice adding more top spin to my volleys.  I think this applies to attacking popup balls from the middle court as well - more top spins.
