Did you know 1 stretching routine could wipe away crippling back pain in only 10 minutes?

This is unlike any stretch or other solution like massages, back braces, heating pads, pills, or surgery…

Because it gently “aligns” your spine to erase back pain at the source.

And only takes a few minutes a day. It’s helped thousands get their back back (and play more pickleball!).

Tip of the day

Zane introduces the "Scorpion" shot, a unique counterattack technique.

The shot is named for its distinctive posture, resembling a scorpion's tail ready to strike.

It's effective against attacks aimed at the player's body, especially the tricky right armpit area.

To execute the Scorpion, players must anticipate an attack, lower their stance, and position the paddle in front of them to punch the ball outward.

This shot not only defends against body shots but also adds an element of unpredictability, making it difficult for opponents to guess where the ball will go.

Zane demonstrates the correct and incorrect scenarios to use the Scorpion, emphasizing the importance of the opponent's position and the angle of their attack.

Key Points:

  • The Scorpion is used to counter attacks at the body.

  • Proper execution requires anticipation, a lowered stance, and an outward punch of the ball.

  • The shot is most effective when the opponent is directly in front of the player, limiting their angle of attack.

  • Incorrect use of the Scorpion occurs when the opponent has a wide angle to attack, making it ineffective.
