Slide to Counter! How Pros Use Footwork and Anticipation to Hit Big Counters #pickleball

If you’ve watched our videos you know that pickleball is getting faster and you need to be able to counter drives instead of just blocking them. Watch the linked video to see how pickleball pro Susannah Barr uses anticipation and footwork to slide and set herself up for big counters.

If you’re having trouble playing fast and aggressive make sure you watch our other videos on how to have fast hands, how to hit big drives, how to anticipate any shot, and how to return like a pro.
