Tip of the day

This video provides a summary of five dos and don'ts for hitting a drive in pickleball.

The first tip is about footwork, advising you to step in with the opposite foot of the hand you're hitting with to drive forward.

For paddle position, the video suggests having your paddle tip facing to the side at the point of contact instead of pointed down.

Another tip is to keep your swing compact, avoiding a big backswing, which can cause a loss of power and control.

The video also advises closing your shoulders and turning through the shot, as much of the power comes from this motion.

The final tip is about shot selection, where you should make lateral movements to run around the ball and hit with your stronger shot.

Key Points:

Footwork: Step in with your opposite foot to drive forward into the court.
Paddle Position: Have your paddle tip facing to the side at the point of contact.
Swing: Use a compact swing to avoid a loss of power and control.
Shoulder Position: Close your shoulders and turn through the shot for power.
Shot Selection: Run around the ball to hit with your stronger shot.

The difference… 🤣
