How to Play Paddleball

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Practice with an attached-ball paddleball.

   Though normally thought of as a toy for children, attached-ball paddleballs are a great tool for sharpening your hand-eye coordination and getting comfortable with the paddle.
   
   Hold the paddle in your dominant hand with your wrist facing up.
   
   Flick your wrist upward to maneuver the ball to rest on top of the paddle.
   
   Continue flicking your wrist to bounce the ball off the top of the paddle.
   
   Your goal is to continuously be able to bounce the ball on the paddle without the ball falling.

   Step 2: Move on to more advanced motions with the attached-ball paddleball.

   Try manipulating the paddle so that the ball alternates bouncing on the underside and the top of the paddle.
   
   This is just another way to practice your hand-eye control. , Shorter paddleball strings make it easier to hit the ball, while longer ones make controlling the ball more difficult.
