hi welcome to prime time pickleball my
name is Nicole Havlicek in today's video
we're gonna cover the number one skill
you need to beat bangers that skill is
soft hands and the ability to slow the
game down by taking pace off the ball
you need to develop the ability to drop
the ball in the kitchen when receiving a
hard drive this is easier said than done
which is why it's something you need to
drill overtime to master here's Jordan
to show us a great drill to develop your
soft hands and beat bangers ok so today
we're going to go over a reset drill and
this is a really good one for you
players who are trying to soften up your
hands at the net okay so in pickleball
you're going to be up at the the
non-volley zone line and sometimes
people are going to want to speed that
ball up and all the time it's not it's
not the best idea to always hit the ball
and speed it up faster than it came okay
sometimes you want to just reset it and
get the ball and drop the ball back into
the kitchen so that it could so that it
won't be an unattackable shot okay so
this is a really good drill that you can
do with your partner
I have Aaron with me today so what we're
gonna do is we're gonna just stay across
from each other across the net and we're
gonna dink and I'm gonna speed up a ball
and then he is just going to block it
try to block it back into the kitchen
and then we're just gonna alternate on
on taking turns okay so and then he's
going to speed up a ball at me and then
I'm just gonna try to block it so you
guys will see it right now

so what I'm trying to do this is just a
good drill to practice when they're
gonna try to drive it at you and you're
just trying to reset it and soften up
the shot so that they can't drive it at
you again okay if you're running into
people that really like to drive the
ball or bang the ball this is a good
shot to practice okay so what I'm gonna
do is I'm making sure that I'm usually
gonna block it on my on my backhand side
because usually when they dry drive the
ball it's going to be straight to your
body so this is an easier block so I'm
just making sure I'm blocking it out in
front of my body and yeah so I'm just
keeping a pretty firm wrist and then
what I'm gonna do is just just block it
and just try to reset it right there
okay so we'll show you a few more here
we go so I'll start okay
nice right switch
