Tip of the day

Want to improve your serve returns?

Pickleball pro Zane Navratil shares his "3 T's" method: Target, Technique, and Timing.

First, pick a smart target—placing your return in the right spot helps control the point.

Next, focus on technique by staying balanced and using a short, controlled swing for accuracy.

Finally, get your timing right—watch the server closely and start your motion early to handle fast or tricky serves.

By practicing these simple steps, you'll return serves with more confidence and control.

Key Points:

  • Choose a good target to set up the next shot.

  • Use proper technique—stay balanced and swing smoothly.

  • Get your timing right by reacting early to the serve.
