3 pickleball WALL drills for INSANELY fast hands!

3 Wall Drills

Austin, emphasizes that volley and dink drills work well off a wall but drive drills are better practiced with a ball machine or partner.

He then demonstrates 3 main wall volley drills:

1. Lateral volleys - Move sideways while hitting backhand volleys, coming closer and farther from the wall to practice controlling pace and finding the sweet spot. Do the same for forehand volleys.
2. Alternating volleys - Hit alternating forehand and backhand volleys while moving to create a triangle shape, focusing on placement over power. Use it to practice quickly shifting sides.
3. Two-wall corner drill - Hit alternating forehand volleys and backhand volleys against perpendicular walls to develop extremely quick hands.

Key tips are to keep practicing volleys even when they start feeling good, start the advanced drills farther back then move closer as they improve, and finish with random rapid-fire volleys. The host promotes his new pickleball drilling app and podcast for further skills development.
