Gain the Edge with Smart Paddle Angling

Paddle angling is more than just the way you hold your paddle; it's a game-changer for controlling the ball and dictating play. Here’s a step-by-step drill to refine your paddle angling:

1. Start Simple: Practice hitting soft dinks straight ahead from the kitchen line. Focus on keeping your paddle face open at a 30-40 degree angle.
2. Alternate Corners: Next, alternate your shots to the left and right, adjusting the paddle angle to direct the ball.
3. Vary Heights: Finally, practice hitting balls at different heights while maintaining control with slight wrist adjustments.

Do this drill for 10-15 minutes daily, and you'll notice better control and precision in your game.

Happy Pickling!
