It's often been said that necessity is the mother of invention. Maybe that means
that desperation is the father of the backhand pickelball serve. If you want to
learn more about it, stay tuned.
Hey everybody its CJ Johnson. If you are new to
this channel welcome. Here you're going to find all things pickleball. From fitness
tips designed especially for people who are over 40, to paddle and gear reviews,
to quality instruction. If you haven't already done so please hit the subscribe
button over here on the left hand side and then the bell notification that way
you'll know every time I post a new video. I just wanted to give a shout out
to Thelma and her husband Eric. They're part of the better pickleball community
and while they were vacationing in Tahoe stopped by the courts and I happen to be
shooting this video. It was great to meet you both!
this would not be a good backhand serve video if I didn't show you one of the best players in the world
Scott Moore and how he does a backhand serve.
Now that you know what a backhand serve looks like, let's look at the rules and
specifically how they apply to a backhand serve.
Now I don't normally teach a backhand serve but there are definitely instances where I will.
And where you may need to have one. So a couple of things, I have
several serve videos on this channel if you haven't already taken a look at
those take a look at those first and let's see if we can correct that problem
on your forehand side. But perhaps it's gotten so bad that you've totally lost
confidence. Maybe you even have a case of the yips that's very familiar from my
old sport of golf and it's a very real thing, or perhaps you have a shoulder
injury that just prevents you from serving from your forehand side. That's
when you need to develop the backhand serve and here are some of the keys that will
help you to do just that.
Even if you don't have the yips or a shoulder injury it might be fun to work
on a backhand serve. After all you can add it to your repertoire and give your
opponent's just a one more look which might give you an advantage out on the
pickleball court. Tell me about your backhand serve down in the comments
below. Do you use it regularly or is it something that you have not yet tried? If
you got value from this video if you wouldn't mind, you know the deal give it a
thumbs up or share it with your pickleball playing friends because together we can
