His other live cue is to wait for the wide ball and let it travel as far as possible before hitting.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Load fully and turn sideways<\/li>\n<li>Contact the outside of the ball (9 o&#8217;clock)<\/li>\n<li>Never miss short: aim deep corner, 1 to 2 ft inside<\/li>\n<li>Let the wide ball travel as long as you can<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Action items<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Feed wide dinks for backhand ATP reps<\/li>\n<li>Cue: &#8216;turn, 9 o&#8217;clock, deep corner&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Practice waiting: don&#8217;t hit until the ball is past the post<\/li>\n<li>Count ATPs that land deep vs short<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tdd-newsletter\">\n<p><strong>Get the 5 best pickleball tips every week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/subscribe-forms.beehiiv.com\/v3\/loader.js\" data-beehiiv-form=\"0e5f3fe0-e4d3-4036-8d7f-c33b311980b2\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thedropdrive.beehiiv.com\/subscribe\">Subscribe free<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary Emma Cook brings back Danny Miron to fix her backhand ATP (around-the-post).
