How To Fix Your Ready Position and React Faster by Zane Navratil Pickleball

Having a good ready position is crucial.

Zane Navratil emphasizes that your paddle should be held high, around chest level, because the net protects low shots. A common mistake is holding the paddle too low.

To practice a better ready position, hold an extra ball against the paddle after each shot.

This helps players remember to keep their paddle in the right spot.

The ready position can also change based on your location on the court.

Key Points:

Hold the paddle at chest level, pointing towards 11 o'clock.
Use an extra ball to practice and reinforce the correct ready position.
Arms should be slightly in front of the body.
The ready position varies based on your position on the court.
A proper ready position helps in counter-attacking and avoiding popping the ball up.
