The flick of your wrist plays an essential role in picking up a pickleball shot. The more you flick your wrist as you hit the ball toward your opponent, the more effective the shot will be.  When done correctly, adding a twist to your wrist when hitting can give you that extra edge needed to overpower your opponents and take control of the court, by using this technique, you can generate higher velocity on shots while also increasing accuracy and spin direction, allowing for more strategic placement of serves and volleys.
