Counteract Spin with Windy Weather Strategies

Quick Tips Pickle4 Team 03-20-2025

Have you ever faced an opponent who excels with spin? For instance, a player that loves the slice or chip backhand return of serve, or the inside-out drive or volley. To overcome the challenge of heavy spin, think of it like playing on a windy day. Just as the pickleball shifts unpredictably in the wind, the same applies when you’re up against a spin master. To overcome this extra movement and spin, move your feet as much as possible. Stay light on your feet and remain poised on your toes to effectively react to any funny bounces. Also, shorten your backswing on your shots. By moving your feet and taking a short backswing, you will enhance your ability to react swiftly to sudden movements in the pickleball.
