I break down how to build a pro-level pickleball backhand counter by covering fundamentals, the biggest mistakes, and simple drills you can use right away. I highlight common errors like swinging too big, closing the face, getting wristy, chopping down, and falling back, then demonstrate wall work, controlled feeds, and speed-up practice to apply everything on court. If you've been struggling with your backhand counters or pickleball defense then this video is for you! Want to reach the next level? Check out the resources below!
