17 Ways to Play BETTER Pickleball

Open play is great for social pickleball, and it is probably the main reason your game has stopped moving.

Zane Navratil's argument is that competitive pickleball is a sprint, not a marathon, and that sloppy reps actively hurt you rather than just wasting time. When your focus goes, the session is over.

So arrange your own games with players who are slightly better than you and who want to learn the game properly. Slightly better means you win when you play well and lose when you play poorly.

Drilling is the other half of it. Third shots come up about once every four points, which is roughly ten chances in fifteen minutes of play, and you can get those same ten chances in thirty seconds of drilling.

Warm up before you start, both off court and on. You hit five to seven times as many balls drilling as you do playing, so five minutes of warm-up is worth about half an hour of play.

Then change what you do between points. After every single rally, ask yourself why the point ended, because that is how you build court IQ, shot selection, and anticipation.

Hit to the stronger player when you have the choice, and play the ball rather than the player. Beating someone in practice by feeding every ball to their weaker partner teaches you nothing.

Pick one priority and stay on it until it is muscle memory. If you tinker with something new every week, nothing ever gets mastered and it falls apart as soon as you move on.

Learn to win at your current level before chasing the next one. Do not enter a 4.0 tournament until you are consistently winning at 3.5.

And control only what you can control, which is your preparation, your effort, and your attitude.
