Level up your doubles game in 10 minutes by Pickleball Playbook

Austin from Pickleball Playbook shares strategies to enhance your doubles game, focusing on positioning techniques used by pros.

He explains the importance of moving with the ball, termed "respecting the X," to always be in the right place for the shot.

The video demonstrates how adjusting your movement based on the ball's trajectory helps in covering the court efficiently.

Austin highlights the "drop and wait" strategy, suggesting players observe their partner’s third shot drop to decide when to approach the net.

The "poach and switch" tactic involves intercepting the ball on your partner's side, emphasizing the need for clear communication on whether to switch positions or stay.

Lastly, he introduces "the fake," a strategy to trick opponents by pretending to move one way and then staying put, creating opportunities by confusing opponents.

Key Points:

• Sync your movement with the ball’s location to effectively cover the court.

• Observe your partner’s third shot drop to determine when to move forward.

• Use poaching to intercept balls and communicate about switching or staying with your partner.

• Employ fakes to confuse opponents and gain an advantage in positioning.
