I saw Bens video and he covered both the ROLL and the FLIP and when and where to use them as well as detailed explanations how to use each. Ben explains it all on the court with Colin there to help show it in action. The Flick was not recommended below the net and its also for high rated players as it requires much more timing and risk. I like how you used slow-mo and how you demonstrated a solo training method at home, which helps most of us. Thanks!
I’ve seen Ben’s video and a few others like Tanner and I think the best method for the flick that I’ve heard to help it make sense is to hold the paddle and flick the same way you’d throw a frisbee
Top notch info and top notch efforts. Love the dial cameras and the overlays. Your raw love for this game is contagious and your content is demonstrated so so well. Thank you.
I have the flick and was amazed at the extra power that the stiffer wrist and more vertices swing. I am definitely going to do some drills to develop this. Thanks for that and the hexacore grip I am loving!😀
Ed, thanks for the video! The slow-motion helps tons. I had also seen the Ben Johns video, but didn’t realize I could practice this on my dink pad. So thanks for demonstrating how to do this! Much appreciated ❤
Thank you for another great video your obsession with learning is a gift to all of us. I also watched Ben's video but never thought of how to practice on my own without a partner - I do have a Dink Master so I now have another way of using it.
Almost every time I want to get better at a shot, I test it against the wall first. I've even done stuff like Overhead training, Serves, and Resets! People always told me that there's limited things you can do against the wall and I strongly disagree. With enough creativity, I think you can train almost every shot in pickleball (to some degree) against a wall :-)
@@edjupickleball This is what makes your videos so unique and helpful. You are not always about getting other players to play with you to demo, which is not available to us most of the time. Instead, you make do with what you have, which makes your video relevant to us, since in most situations, we have a wall or a Dink Master to drill with. Thanks again. Would you consider doing a Dink Master video on overhead and another one on serve?
Great video Ed! When your grip has your backhand angled down slightly, are you changing your grip right before that shot in a real situation? If not then doesn’t that mean your forehand would be angled up? Or are you always changing your grip for the specific shot in real time?
Very sharp question. For me, this is something that I am tinkering with myself so I can't give you a straight response. Generally, I advise MOST players not to be changing grips while playing, mostly because that is risky if you're not quick enough. With that being said, I do know that many pros, including Jaume, DO switch grips slightly depending on the situation.
Subconsciously players make subtle grip changes. But in the heat of a hand battle it’s particularly impossible to consciously control grip angle changes in milliseconds. More insight into this technique would be useful during a podcast episode. Thx guys!!!
@@edc.8082 Agreed. Whether and how to change grips throughout a point has been a big question of mine recently. Saw your reply about Collin below, very interesting.
Liked. Love the different approaches. Some channels are super slick with great graphics and content. Yours is more raw like a next door buddy feel - but also with great content. There's something that feels very authentic with your videos. Also, you are helping drive traffic to Ben John's video post. If you used Ben's technique, you should probably link Ben's video in your description so that others can go that video. Just an opinion.
@@edjupickleball Ah....I was looking for it in the post description above. I have already caught Ben's video before seeing yours. But figure it was worth a comment. Thanks!
Great explanation on the differences between the two shots. Between the Dink Master and the TopSpinPro, which device have you found has provided the biggest improvements to your game? Looking for a device to train at home with and only have room for one. Thanks!
Hi Ed Upon viewing Ben’s video, I don’t think he’s changing his grip for the backhand roll. How To Hit the Backhand Roll in Pickleball | Ben Johns ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pt3HWfs7YCs.html Paddle Face Angle @ 2:50 ~ I don’t believe Ben changes his grip. To close the paddle face, he bends his wrist forward, “turn it like a motorcycle throttle”. i.e. No matter what grip you use, the paddle face angle can be changed by turning your wrist forward or backward.
Not saying it’s practical for everyone, but a lot of former tennis players (Collin John’s for example) talk about changing grip mid point depending on the shot they’re tryna hit
For me personally, I’ve found that I go for more of a flick when it’s like near my waste to bottom ribcage. When it gets higher, it turns more into a roll. I talk about this in my “wrist flick” video near the middle: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zswe8rGSEkI.html I’ve never realized how I was kinda executing a roll on the higher volleys. I need more work on executing the roll on lower balls.
@@edjupickleball does a roll gives an opponent more time to respond than a flick and if so should I generally flick to the body of my directly opposite opponent and roll between 2 opponents? Alternatively , If the roll is faster and more powerful than a flick should the backhand roll be mastered before beginning to use backhand flicks?
