Mastering the Punch Volley: Tips to Improve Your Pickleball Shot #pickleball #pickleballtips

[michaelhopwood]

thanks for mentioning opening the hips - that is a missing ingredient in my crappy technique. Could you also cover how you handle higher volleys?

[greggeatros]

Great advice as always Caden, thanks and please keep it coming.
I notice how out front you have your paddle at ready position. For me that is key. We often hear advice for “paddle up” but for punch volleys unless my paddle is also out front, contact can be late with the paddle face too open.

Caden could you include your preferred grip during your demonstrations, thanks

[novubrown]

do you hold the paddle firmly during volley/punch?

What’s your grip level when using punch volley

[tommyshin]

Hi Caden, do you use a Continental or eastern grip?

[djdroogie]

I’d keep knees more bent. My preference. More control.

[marietylerwiley]

That looks great. Hope I can do it. I’m basically just always trying to connect with the ball.😂😂😂😂

It's kind of a bad habit, because I need to change grips, but I haven't seen many other players that can do a backhand punch like me. I find myself putting my thumb on the bottom of the playing surface just above the handle. The thumb on the back gives extra strength. The problem is switching between forehand and backhand at the net is slower.

Please show the chicken wing version of this shot, ie what should orientation be?

Keep adding punch content, that John's forward Flick looks like it defies physics

Text was kind of in the way because you're torn between reading or watching technique. I know text is better usually but for this content it's really better without it
