Stop Making These Pickleball Spin Mistakes! #pickleball #pickleballtips

Summary

Universal Rackets on spin mistakes. One mistake is using the same paddle angle for every ball: different spins do different things to the ball, so if you have the exact same grip and the exact same swing, you can’t adjust. Another is fighting the spin instead of absorbing it: absorb the spin and redirect it back, ‘roll with it’ and let the spin work with you. Watch the short for the full list.

Key takeaways

  • Don’t use the same paddle angle for every ball
  • Different spins need different adjustments
  • Absorb and redirect spin instead of fighting it
  • Let the spin work with you
