This is particularly an issue for me in my drives. I would hit in to the net constantly. I figured out that the low to high motion while getting under the ball slightly is key. This video makes perfect sense
I find that many of my students try to compensate for striking the ball at 3:00 by whipping the paddle up with a lot of wrist to add spin and hope that it will stay in. Adding wrist adds uncertainty and the equation rarely adds to his benefit. I use the word “lift” to add emphasis on getting under the ball and that seems to help.
I like it. Mention that when diniking that we probably have more time than we think to hit the shot. Be patient and take your time. Even let the ball bounce so you can get a better shot.
Question- in theory could I swing level, line I was going to hit ball at 3 or 9, BUT have my paddle angled (which was n theory would strike the ball at 4:30. Or is it recommended to just swing on an upward path to hit under the ball?
Hey brother, Good lesson. The Ball Goes WhereThe Paddle Tells It Too.. This is an introduction to, Top Spin and "low to high" swing path. You'll hit a few out, but, it'll work....
Hello Tony - am glad to answer but not following the question. Please reframe it and I will do my best to get you an answer - what is it you are trying to do?
@@BestPickleballCoach watched several of videos and you mentioned about running drills / practice instead of just playing more. My issue is that I'm just reaching for a ball I believe. Not moving my feet/ body to swing a follow through... I think you called it "popping", sticking my arm out and using maybe more wrist to return to ball.
@@tonytroyer9729 I think I have it. Best advice I can give you if you want to feel more "in flow" when you play - more like you are dancing with the shots - is wall practice. Give you a ton of reps with no judgment.
Did you miss into the net because of inches, or is it a manner of angle degrees? Trajectory sing paths and paddle angles, are very important in this game.
@@BestPickleballCoach Or feet, The same angle can hit a dink or a lob depending on power input. I prefer to look at my shot as an arc vs looking at linier input. The net will kill your shot percentages if flirted with too much. That I agree with you on. Similarly, the side lines can be a liability if flirted with too much.
