Of all the spins you can hit a pickleball with, “Topspin is King” - for many reasons. Not only the ball trajectory go up (over the net) but it also dips back down (into the court). This type of flight path allows you to hit the ball hard or soft, as it will sink down into the court, or kitchen. This helps with every single shot in the book - serves, drives drops, dinks , volleys, and even lobs. Lots of topspin also forces the ball to pop upwards off your opponent’s paddle, creating great opportunities to attack their pop-ups!
