Backhand Roll: Wrist Back, Get Low, Contact Out Front

Summary

Richard Pickleball’s three-step backhand roll: amateurs get on top of the ball and hit it too close, dumping into the net.

Turn the wrist back, get low, and meet it far in front so you can get under the ball and roll it down with spin.

  • Wrist back → low → contact out front
  • Too close / on top = net
  • Front contact creates under-then-down spin
