Tip of the Day

Mastering the punch volley by Caden Nemoff from Briones Pickleball

Caden says should open your paddle face with your hips, not just with your arm.

Aim your paddle at your target at a 90-degree angle (your paddle face will be parallel to the kitchen line if you’re hitting straight ahead).

Finally, punch through like you're hitting a punching bag. Make sure to follow through directly toward your target. Your ball will shoot left or right if you’re not punching straight forward.

Key Points:

  • Open up your paddle face with your hips, not just your wrist or arm.

  • Aim your paddle at your target at a 90-degree angle.

  • Punch through like you're hitting a punching bag.

  • Follow through directly to your target.

Gear Review of the Day

JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus CFS 16 Pickleball Paddle Review by Famous by Friday Pickleball

Kip from Famous by Friday Pickleball is impressed by the paddle's ability to spin the ball and its pop. However, he notes it doesn't pack as much power as other paddles.

He appreciates the paddle's control and quick response during net play but wishes it had more power for counter punches and drives.

When compared to other carbon face paddles, Kip feels that the Perseus offers superior control but falls a bit short in the power department.
