Forehand Technique: Power and Spin in Pickleball

Key Points

• The grip should be eastern to semi western to generate the most topspin from the shot
• Use a “stop sign” with the paddle to position the correct grip
• Use your core and rotational power through the shot
• Very similar to a tennis forehand with a smaller and more abbreviated backswing
• Fast paddle speed through the shot using mostly arm and a nice loose finish breaking the wrist at the end to get the rotation and spin on the ball
• Extend through the ball, envisioning your paddle going past the point of contact
• To generate more spin, use more wrist through the shot
