HOW to Hit an Overhead Slam! | The Pickleball Clinic

[@aljerones99]

Matt, your tutorials are very good. You are doing a smashing job in your explanations, analogies and demonstrations.

[@davidkaptein7602]

Great tips, Matt. Well explained and you make it look easy!

Things I leaned that I was doing wrong during my slams: Standing square, keeping my paddle high waiting for the ball, keeping my left arm down, striking bending forward. The result, an older lady who I had as partner telling me to stop trying to slam because she hits harder than me. This is very helpful, I have a lot to fix. Thank you!

Great tips as always!

I tend to tilt my racket and hit it straight down😊

[@tommyhurst90]

Reaching your arm up and pointing at the ball like that is basic tennis technique 😎👍 I've never played pickleball but I played tennis (a lot) hopefully the same skills work over to pickleball ,probably not though

[@lamb998]

this guys got a kicker smash (i can tell). pretty sure in pickleball its more of a slap smash

[@tonyg8137]

That's NOT a pivot on his dominant leg.....he's stepping back with his righ leg...he is pivoting on his left leg

[@tonyg8137]

As with a great majority of these "instructional" pickleball videos I have seen......too much talking and not enough demonstration

[@lamb998]

this isnt the exact technique i see from pickleball pros, you're hitting a pickleball not a tennis ball
