The Rollback

This shot involves a backspin on the ball which causes it to roll backward after it is hit. Using your pickleball paddle for this technique is often used when your opponent is far away from the net, making it difficult for them to reach the ball. It is the perfect indoor pickleball shot to set up the winning serve.
