Tip of the day
This video provides five simple tips focusing on mindset and subtle adjustments that can quickly improve your pickleball performance.
The first tip, "The Target Fix," emphasizes the need for three intentions on every shot: controlling spin, trajectory, and pace to achieve a specific landing spot.
Tip number two is the "Elbow Push," where you must line up your hitting elbow to move directly toward your intended target to prevent inconsistency and paddle "flipping."
The third tip, "The Wrist Set," emphasizes controlling the paddle face by setting and locking your wrist position for a specific shot (forehand or backhand) before execution, keeping it locked through the finish.
Tip number four highlights the necessity of the "Split Step," which must be timed as your opponent is about to hit the ball, getting your legs low and loaded to react quickly to any incoming shot.
The final tip addresses "Feel vs. Real" and advises players to exaggerate the feeling of getting more directly behind the ball, imagining the ball coming right down the middle of their stance for better control.
By incorporating these small changes, you can immediately start to judge your results better and gain more control over the ball.
Key Points:
For every shot, control the spin, trajectory, and pace to hit a specific target.
Push your hitting elbow directly toward your target line for greater consistency.
Set and lock your wrist position for a shot and maintain it through the follow-through.
Perform the "Split Step" as your opponent makes contact, loading your legs for quick movement.
Exaggerate getting behind the ball by lining it up with the center of your stance for improved control.
