“The Chip and Charge” by Selkirk Pickleball

Coach Morgan Evans introduces the 'Chip and Charge' technique, a strategic approach for returning serves in pickleball.

This method, adapted from tennis, involves a combination of a chipped return with a quick advance to the net, allowing players to utilize their volleys effectively.

The video explains the advantages of this technique, including:

• The challenging bounce created by the imparted backspin or sidespin

• The lofted flight of the ball, which gives your more time to approach the kitchen

• The momentum gained from the charging motion.

Key Points:

1. Chip Technique: Utilizes backspin or sidespin for a challenging bounce.

2. Lofted Flight: The ball's trajectory allows more time to move forward.

3. Power Source: Emphasizes body weight transfer rather than just arm swing.

4. Paddle Grip and Position: Recommends a Continental grip and an open paddle face for effective spin.

5. Counterbalance: Involves pushing back with the rear leg for shot accuracy and direction control.
