How does he hit so hard?

[pristinemirage]

Pickleball player discovers that pickleball is just mild tennis.

This is a tennis player cosplaying pickleball player.

[PeteInTheMatrix]

Tennis player for sure - wrist lag and his one handed backhand show that. This can give you a few more mph if timed well. Not contously though, just happens.

[brdigma]

Just wait until this guy sees tennis
Gunna blow his mind

[speechless]

wow its… something every tennis player already does

[redsirius]

he plays tennis when he is not playing pickle😂

[Kennethfng_]

Top spin. Like I’m tennis and table tennis

[flipsidesports]

Arm extension for leverage, for spin. His is great. Yours is slightly bent, just like extension and wrist are key in golf and hitting(baseball) the wrists, leverage, and extension are key to keeping low drives with velocity.

Omg its the lag effect...if u played tennis u would know this😂

[hassaanr]

Welcome to basic tennis mechanics son.

[dragunovx]

Look at that arm take-back during the backhand wind up and release. Followed by a great follow through and proper shoulder rotation. That’s a tennis player 😅

[Changsta]

Ed, don't mind the "tennis duh" comments. Just displays of superiority complex. Why demean others rather than applaud content that may help those that don't have tennis background? Keep it up man.

[Metow]

I come from tennis background, and this is something many experienced players utilize. I play more pickleball now, and I always get compliments on my drives and overheads. I think that for those two shots, tennis had the most benefit. Maybe badminton as well for overhead

[kelso]

I always did this in tennis. Get sore wrists some times though.

[jmoney]

He’s hitting what would be consider a semi-western forehand in tennis. This forehand grip generates a lot of spin and power. Definitely a weapon in pickleball

[sylvestervoigt]

Open Stance Forehand first popularized by Mats Wilander

[caseydog]

Yes, hits hard. Definitely helps to be hitting with the Legacy Pro. I rip with it.

[xjjamess]

wrist lag. When the paddle/racquet is lagging behind the wrist. This is how you create power. There’s technique and mechanics to everything.

[LeonShallop]

Bro he’s hittin it like a tennis player. A good one at that

[colbyholcomb.]

Half of those were out! Love the flick, it’s hard to time for the person learning this. he leads or pulls through with handle, just like baseball swing or golf swing. Simple physics.also speed doesn’t matter if you can’t get it to stay in. Short court Nick! Maybe keep playing tennis 😅?
