From Wristy to Weapon in 5 Minutes: One-Handed Backhand Counter (Coached by a Pro)

Описание: Can you really fix a one-handed backhand counter in 5 minutes?

Pro Pickleball Coach Billy Buchhauser has a great backhand counter. In this video he teaches his counter technique and works with a real student to clean up some of the most common mistakes people have with their counters. Pro Coach Susannah Barr also gives her tips and tricks along the way.

In this lesson, you’ll learn:
✅ Why not to use too much wrist
✅ How to use bigger muscles (forearm, shoulder, core, legs)
✅ Why “down” matters more than pace
✅ How to prepare earlier in hands battles

The goal?
Get the ball down at your opponent’s feet, no matter what.
