The Hidden Paddle Trick Ben Johns Taught Me…

This might sound crazy, but I shank my backhand on purpose! It’s not a mistake, it’s actually a weapon that Ben Johns showed me years ago and I’ve been using it ever since. Today I’m breaking down exactly how to master the dead spot on your paddle and why it can give you an edge against every opponent. The dead spot is one of the most underutilized tools in pickleball, but once you learn how to use it the right way, you’ll start creating more spin, more deception, and more margin on your speed ups. I’ll show you exactly when and how to use this secret to keep your opponents guessing and win more points.

In this video I explain how the dead spot differs from the sweet spot, why it adds more dwell and spin to the ball, and how it can force opponents into mistiming their counters. I demonstrate the difference in sound, rebound, and swing path when striking from the core versus the dead spot, and show how this technique can turn a dead dink into an offensive weapon. Pros like Ben Johns, Matt Wright, and Zane Navratil have all used this concept in their own ways, but most players never even think about it. By learning when to apply it and when not to, you can add another layer of strategy to your game. Whether you’re focused on backhand speed ups or looking for ways to disguise your shots, this breakdown will help you add a new dimension to your pickleball strategy. Source: Jack Munro
