In this Coached by a Pro session, pro pickleball player and coach Susannah Barr works with Chris, a real student, on building a stronger, more reliable two-handed backhand volley. Through a few simple adjustments, Chris improves his technique in minutes — and you’ll pick up the same breakthrough tips along the way.
What you’ll see in this video:
✅ How paddle head drop creates better low-to-high motion
✅ Using hip rotation + extension for more power
✅ Twoey target practice drill
✅ Real-time corrections from a pro coach
✅ The “aha” moment when it all clicks
