Pickleball Advanced Grip Change for Stab Volleys at the Kitchen

Quick stab volleys at the kitchen require taking time away from the opponent more than increasing ball speed at contact. Using a backhand, 45 degree Continental defensive position, loosen your grip, then flex fingers to use some centrifugal force to close racket face, then flex your wrist to pop racket at the desired location. Step forward with non-racket side foot for fastest movement. For forehands, loosen grip, then extend fingers and use centrigal force to open racket face and then flex your wrist to pop racket at the desired location. Step forward with racket side foot for fastest movement. Players, especially those with a tennis background, must fight urges of shoulder turn preparation and cross stepping for this shot.
