3 quick tips in 5 minutes
Tip of the day
Pro John Cincola explains crucial pickleball fundamentals in today’s video, particularly the concept of attackable and unattackable balls.
John explains that balls hit above the net height are attackable, allowing for more aggressive play, while those hit below the net height are unattackable, requiring a softer swing.
Next, he focuses on court positioning, stressing the need for players to move forward in the court, especially after hitting unattackable shots.
This movement helps players take advantage of their position and be ready for the next shot.
John also addresses the common mistake of watching the ball after hitting it, instead of using that time to improve court position.
Finally, John discusses paddle technique, specifically the importance of keeping the paddle in front of the body.
He suggests two methods to ensure this: maintaining a 90-degree angle with the arms (forming a 'V') and keeping the paddle's color within peripheral vision.
These techniques help players control their shots and avoid overextending their swings.
Key Points:
Understand the difference between attackable and unattackable balls.
Use court positioning to your advantage by moving forward after hitting unattackable shots.
Avoid watching the ball after hitting; instead, focus on improving your position.
Keep the paddle in front of your body for better control and shot accuracy.
