50+ Strategies to Counter Bangers and Hard Shots - Camp Sneak Peek with Coach Tony Roig

Most players lose to bangers because they hit too many balls. Not because their technique is bad. Because their brain won't let the ball go. In this video, Coach Tony Roig takes you inside a Better Pickleball Camp session dedicated to beating the banger. You'll see real 50+ players working through the exact drills Tony uses to rewire that instinct — and replace it with a simple, repeatable system. Here's what's covered: Out-ball recognition — Why hard-hit balls from the baseline go out more than you think, and how to train your brain to trust that. The block volley — How to receive a hard shot without giving energy back. Body calm. Paddle forward. That's it. The banger sequence — Block the first ball. Let the second one go. A clear, logical framework you can take to your next game. This is not a highlight reel. It's coaching — the real thing, with real corrections, real moments of understanding, and real players figuring it out in real time.
