Tip of the day

This video offers five tips for beginner pickleball players to improve their game and avoid common mistakes.

The first tip, "Serve and Stay, Return and Run," advises serving and staying back to prepare for the third shot, while returning and running to the net to apply pressure.

The video also provides advice on the backhand dink, recommending a lifting motion with a "backwards Nike sign" swing path instead of a "chopping" motion.

For body and head movement, the video suggests keeping your head still at the kitchen line and your feet "nice and quiet" for consistency.

Another tip is to shorten your swings at the kitchen line, using more compact backswings and follow-throughs for faster hands.

Finally, the video explains that your ready position should change depending on your location on the court.

Key Points:

  • Serve & Stay, Return & Run: Stay back after serving, and run to the net after returning.

  • Backhand Dink: Use a lifting motion with a "backwards Nike sign" swing path.

  • Body Movement: Keep your head still and your feet "nice and quiet."

  • Shorten Swings: Use compact swings at the kitchen line for faster hands.

  • Ready Position: Adjust your ready position based on your location on the court.
