Love this shot. Seems easier with a backhand than a forehand push.

[@sheaunderwood]

Dude that thumbnail is so good!

[@PickleballKitchen]

Thanks man!

[@tbforester]

HOLY COW, incredible. You're a god. How DO you do it? Wait, you just explained that. lol If I can master this, I'm golden.

[@lucasservetti219]

EXCELENTE, El truco del péndulo fue clave para realizar bien el tiro. Cambió mi juego, gracias

[@PickleballKitchen]

Gracias!

[@peterc.jordan2420]

Barrett, please show ala camera what the ball actually does after hitting the ground

[@davidbarr9897]

Love this shot. I was always trying to run around my backhand to hit the forehand until this video! Thanks for the explanation!

[@aregee7121]

Barrett- As usual, excellent. A ton of great useful tips. Thanks.

[@PickleballKitchen]

Thanks a lot!

[@MaximumLagGolf]

I've been missing my backhand drops so I'll give the slice a try. Looks promising. Have you tried backspin on forehand drops?

[@PickleballKitchen]

I've tried it all!

[@ttb1513]

@@PickleballKitchenAnd, how does backspin on forehand drops compare?

[@mbriianlars]

Where do you go with the ball when you're playing the other side (and hitting the backhand from the middle of the court)?

[@PickleballKitchen]

Technically your partner should be using his forehand in the middle for that, but you can just go to the same spot.

[@robmorris8718]

I love this shot and loved seeing your video about it. One thing I am working on more is moving my non paddle arm upward as I am hitting my backhand shots (moving my shoulder blades together as both arms move up). This has helped me with counterbalance.

[@PickleballKitchen]

That's interesting, thanks for the comment.

[@aregee7121]

? Imagining your shoulder blades, are they moving together as in a modern tennis forehand? or apart as in a classic tennis backhand?

[@aregee7121]

Rob,I meant shoulder blades CLOSER as in a classic tennis backhand ( To counterbalance, moving arms in opposite directions)

[@Thejoeb]

Great stuff!

[@PickleballKitchen]

Thanks!

[@gp2654]

And the opponents return shot would be going where? Cross court kitchen?

[@bettysellman6823]

How about left hand

[@texasknight5175]

Hi, Linda! ☺️

[@VictorRamirez-gt4uw]

Noticed you’re using a Prince paddle, how do you like it?

[@PickleballKitchen]

Yup, it's great!

[@gg80108]

Is this the shot that Dave Weinbach hits? He seems to take a big cut at the ball. Course he has been hitting it a long time.

[@PickleballKitchen]

Heh, you could look at it that way. It's more of a push than a cut, but you can certainly do that.

[@annmaes7550]

I would love to see how easy this shot is at a normal return drive from the opponent.

[@mikewallace3997]

Agreed. Most tutorials are addressing non-realistic returns and therefore of limited use.

[@kurtkrak]

Practice, practice, practice

[@giffy5775]

If you get a hard 2nd shot you don't necassraily want a 3rd shot drop. You want to drive it to try and catch them in the mid court. This shot is for a lazy 2nd shot that goes out to the left and your opponent comes in all the way.

[@seazestyt]

the only issue is the high looping is giving plenty of time to the opponent to get into the ball.

[@Ed1956K]

Can you show what this would actually look like in a game when the ball is coming in harder? - Newbie

[@a.joseph4233]

Which model of Prince paddle are you using? Thanks

[@peterjordan2738]

How about explaining and showing the RETURN of a cross-court backhand spin shot?

[@PaulBCohen]

Second that.

[@josefbleaux6724]

Love it!! Thanks for sharing.

[@lavonnealexander7532]

Thanks!

[@PickleballKitchen]

Thank you very much for the tip!

[@LenonFPB]

What sort of return shot are you looking for in order to execute this short? Would you say that if the ball coming has a lot of spin or is super low and coming fast that you should try to not go for this shot? As always, thank you for the awesome video!

[@PickleballKitchen]

You can do this on any return really, but the softer, the better honestly. But it's also personal preference. You do have to do some experimenting.

[@victorkhong7654]

Excellent instructional video.

[@PickleballKitchen]

Thank you very much!
