(Replay Episode 9) Today we can't drive 55! Sammy Hagar references aside, we are talking ground strokes / drives in pickleball, and when, where, and how we should be hitting them. Do we go for the "hero shot", or stick with the conservative "60% drive"?

Today we discuss "The Cradle Drop", which is a shot every pickleball player should have in their consistent arsenal. We walk through the mechanics of the shot, as well as a couple ways to drill it.
It's called the "Cradle Drop" because you cradle your off hand on the paddle as you are rotating to hit the shot. This is a controlled backhand with underspin that you will use a LOT in your pickleball career.
