Learn what other players do not know about how to spin the ball - the correct way | Add when ready

This video is part of a 3-part series. The first 2 videos covered pickleball spins and their real impact on your shots as well as showed you the wrong way to spin the ball (more commonly used than you might think).

Video 1 answered whether spins were right for your pickleball game (spoiler – probably not right now). Find Video 1 here: https://youtu.be/q2vFlCg76cI

Video 2 showed you a common mistake made by players trying to impart spin onto the ball. Find Video 2 here: https://youtu.be/rOuj2akU_9A

In this week's video we show you how to properly impart spin on the pickleball. Before you move on, we recommend you watch Videos 1 and 2 in this series first. They are in this order for a reason.

There's a decent chance that you are already doing some of the pickleball technique shown in Video 3 (this video). The key is to understand how it is this technique – and not the windshield wiper (or similar) technique – that is generating the pickleball spin you are looking for.

Remember:

Pretty much every shot you hit in pickleball will impart some spin to the ball. It is just how things work. As the pickleball paddle makes contact and pushes forward and through the ball to propel the ball along its intended shot trajectory, some of that paddle motion will make the ball (a sphere) spin in some direction.

The key is to understand this mechanic. This way you will stop doing the things that do not work and cause pickleball errors and instead focus on what works.

Spins are fine and are part of pickleball. The issue is not with the spin itself. The pickleball errors come from adding that extra extra spin you may think you are adding by flicking the wrist or brushing up (or down) across the pickleball.

By understanding the proper mechanics of pickleball spin you can appreciate the manner in which you are actually spinning the pickleball and avoid potential distraction that will lead to more errors in your pickleball game.

Have fun out there.
