Can a pro fix my ATP?? #pickleball #podcast

Summary

Emma Cook brings back Danny Miron to fix her backhand ATP (around-the-post). He gives three keys: fully load and turn sideways at contact; hit the outside of the ball (9 o’clock on a clock face); and never miss short, so aim for the back corner a foot or two inside the line, where even a long miss can still win the point. His other live cue is to wait for the wide ball and let it travel as far as possible before hitting.

Key takeaways

• Load fully and turn sideways
• Contact the outside of the ball (9 o’clock)
• Never miss short: aim deep corner, 1 to 2 ft inside
• Let the wide ball travel as long as you can

Action items

• Feed wide dinks for backhand ATP reps
• Cue: ‘turn, 9 o’clock, deep corner’
• Practice waiting: don’t hit until the ball is past the post
• Count ATPs that land deep vs short
