Tip of the Day

Serving with power! by PrimeTime Pickleball

Jordan Briones explains how to add power to your serve. He emphasizes the importance of using your leg and core muscles, not just your arm.

He suggests starting with your weight on your back foot, then transferring it to your front foot as you hit the ball. This technique helps you add more pace to your serve and makes it easier for you and your partner to get to the net.

Don’t just swing with your arm! Use your legs, core, and body weight too.

Key Points:

Use your leg and core muscles to add power to your serve.
Start with your weight on your back foot and transfer it to your front foot as you hit the ball.
A powerful serve makes it easier for you and your partner to get up to the net.

JOOLA Collin Johns Scorpeus 16mm Pickleball Paddle Review by Total Pickleball

The Total Pickleball team mentions that the paddle shares the same technology as the Perseus paddle but comes in a different shape.

They appreciate the paddle's stability, spin, and pop. However, they note that the wider shape of the Scorpeus can make it feel a bit clunky during singles play, especially when trying to swing the paddle quickly from the baseline.

Despite this, they find it very effective during doubles play at the net, thanks to its wider face and low swing weight (i.e., it’s easy to swing and don’t feel heavy).
