Tip of the day

Fine-Tuning Your Pickleball Drives by The Pickleball Clinic

Matt from The Pickleball Clinic shows how to perfect your drives and groundstrokes by practicing with both players at the baseline (instead of with one player at the kitchen like normal).

He emphasizes that this setup helps you see exactly where your drive shots land.

If your drives are landing too short, Matt suggests adding more power.

If they're going too far, he recommends using less force and adding a bit of spin.

This way, you can make your drives more accurate and harder for your opponent to return.

Key Points

Practice setup involves both players standing at their respective baselines.
The setup allows you to see the exact landing spot of your drives.
If drives are landing too short, add more power to your shots.
If drives are going too far, reduce power and add spin.

TMPR TERRA TC-13 Pickleball Paddle Review by The Pickleball Pirates

The TMPR TERRA TC-13 paddle has a big sweet spot and gives you lots of control.

It's shaped like a ping pong paddle, so you can move it fast.

But it's not the best for power shots, and it's more for finesse and tricking your opponents. If you like to play with soft touches and quick moves, this paddle is for you.

However, if you want to hit hard, this might not be the best choice.
