Pickleball: Backboard Drilling For Double Handed Backhand & Forehand
20 minute Backboard Drill Session: Two Handed Volleys/Dinks
Session Goal: Consistency, Sweat, Deep breathing, Feel The Burn In Both Legs
Two Handed Backhand/Forehand, One Handed Backhand/Forehand, Spinning right/left
- 0:02 Volley At 3 Feet: Loosen up wrist, elbow, arm. Get a feel for the ball. Left/Right Spin. Hold paddle (pressure 2/3 out of ten) three fingers. Hit ball consistently 50+ times backhand/forehand
- 4:32 Volley At 5 Feet: Hit the ball at target. Get a feel for the ball.
- 6:46 Volley At Kitchen Line (7 Feet): Hit the ball at target. Get a feel for the ball.
- 8:50 Dinking: Move body weight from back leg to front leg to meet the ball with the paddle. Limited wrist, shoulder, elbow movement. Hit the ball with topspin, side spin to the backboard corners. Alternate close stance, move your feet, hit ball with top/side spin left/right to the backboard corners.
Why develop a two handed forehand & backhand?
- To be a more consistent dinker
- Prevent elbow injury due to repetitive movement
- Effective resets at NVZ Line from drives
- More powerful baseline strokes
- Consistent Topspin rolls
- Quick flicks with sharp angles at NVZ line
