Strengthening the Pickleball Backhand

Jeff

As the video points out, many players do not set up properly to get the most power from their backhand. They have their body facing the net squarely which leaves primarily an arm motion to generate the power.

Watch Mark Renneson, founder of Third Shot Pickleball, explain a much better way to create power using a backhand stroke.
