@tanner.pickleball Stop doing THIS! 🛑✋ The drop-shot volley will NOT work, more times than it will.🧠 You’re giving up the advantage you have with being at the kitchen line. 🏆 ✅ ONLY use it when the opponent is hitting a ball off their BACK FOOT. #pickleball #pickleballislife #pickleballrocks #pickleballaddict #pickleballtournament #pickleballhighlights #pickleballtiktok

@tysonmcguffinpb Most players are relatively comfortable attacking popped up dinks out of the air, especially when they are contacting the ball above the height of the net. Learning to attack dinks off the bounce, though more difficult to do, will allow us to generate more of our own offense as needed. If you’re new to attacking off the bounce, I’ve come up with four steps to set you up for success! 1️⃣ Identify The first thing you should do is identify if the dink is even attackable. Remember to have your S.L.Y. (stable, location, yellow). If you can go through this mental checklist and determine that you are balanced and the ball bounces up high enough, then you have full license to start the attack. 2️⃣ Disguise The next thing you should focus on is disguising your attack. Though you may be able to overpower your opponents without disguising your attacks once in a while, your successful attack percentage will surely go up if the element of surprise is also on your side. By making your attacks look like dinks until the last possible moment, you can make your opponents late on their counter attacks. Make sure to avoid closing your stance or having any backswing on your attacks! 3️⃣ Location Even under perfect conditions, attacking can be unsuccessful if we don’t hit a good location. Though we won’t attack every player in the same spot, our intent should be to either “jam” our opponents or get them overreaching for their initial counter attack. If we can throw off the timing of their initial counter attack even a little bit, we may give ourselves the advantage on our re-counter. 4️⃣ Anticipate Our intention when we attack a dink off the bounce should never be to win the point immediately. We should always be thinking of our initial attack as a setup. If we can make an educated guess as to the location of the counter attack, we can already be waiting with our paddle ready to strike before the ball arrives. Improving our anticipation skills and IQ is a great way to get better in fast exchanges without having to increase our hand speed directly. #mcguffincoaching #comegetmcguffind #pickleballinstruction #pickleball #tysonmcguffinpickleball #coaching #sports @Tyson McGuffin PB
