How to react faster

Tip of the day

Today’s video teaches how to improve reaction time on the pickleball court, a crucial skill for all players.

It emphasizes the importance of the "ready position," with your paddle up and in front, knees bent, and weight balanced.

You'll learn about the split step, a slight hop that prepares your body to move quickly in any direction.
