My Secret Weapon for Better Pickleball – The Wrist Ball

I’ve been playing pickleball for nearly two years and I’m always on the lookout for something that can help me play better. I focus on serving well and moving quickly, especially near the net.

Recently, I found a great tool that’s really helped: the wrist ball.

What Is a Wrist Ball?

A wrist ball is like a tennis ball with a spinning weight inside. You hold it and move your wrist and forearm to keep the weight spinning. It’s a workout for your arm and helps you control the spin.

My Wrist Ball Routine

Before playing pickleball, I use the wrist ball for a few minutes with each hand. At first, I didn’t see much change, but after a few weeks, my hands got quicker. My serves are stronger and the ball flies off my paddle. I’ve been using the same paddle for a year, but now I play better thanks to the wrist ball.

This ball has made my hand, wrist, and forearm muscles stronger in ways just playing pickleball can’t. It helps with endurance, reduces tiredness, and makes it easier to move the paddle quickly. It’s a simple and cheap tool, but it’s really improved my game.

Sometimes, other players ask about the ball and what I’m doing with it. I’m happy to tell them about my secret for getting stronger and lasting longer in games. If you want to get better at pickleball, try using a wrist ball.
