The One-Leg Flick a 5'6" Pro Uses to Beat Taller Players (Nico Acevedo)

How does Nico Acevedo make his backhand flick such a dangerous weapon? He explains why he likes to take the ball out of the air, reach in early, and use the shot to put pressure on his opponents—then shares the training behind it. Nico’s routine includes single-leg deadlifts and balance work to help him stay stable when reaching for the ball and recover quickly afterward. Zane Navratil breaks down how Nico’s balance and reach let him take balls that other players might leave to bounce. A closer look at the technique, athleticism, and practice behind one of Nico’s standout shots. 🏓 Donate to the Solomon Boltes Memorial Pickleball Courts: https://www.gofundme.com/f/building-solomon-boltes-memorial-pickleball-courts 📩 Subscribe to our free newsletter for everything that matters in pickleball: https://subscribe.thedinkpickleball.com #Pickleball #PickleballPodcast #mlp #ppa ------------------ Like the ep?
