Tip of the Day
Mastering Pickleball Footwork by Sarah Ansboury
Sarah shares tips on efficient footwork in pickleball, especially at the kitchen.
She suggests using a pivot approach instead of shuffling side to side. She also emphasizes the importance of releasing the weight from the foot you're moving from and finishing your shots effectively.
Lastly, she introduces the concept of front footwork, where you finish the shot with your weight on the foot you stepped with.
Key Points:
Use a pivot approach for efficient footwork at the kitchen line.
Release the weight from the foot you're moving from.
Finish your shots effectively before rushing back to your position.
Use front footwork, finishing the shot with your weight on the foot you stepped with.
These techniques can help you cover the ground more efficiently, especially if you're a shorter player.
Gear Review of the Day
Electrum Model E Elite Pickleball Paddle Review by Rackets & Runners - Pickleball
The Electrum Model E Elite is a powerful pickleball paddle that's great for players who like to control the game. It's thermoformed, has foam-injected edge walls, and raw carbon fiber, which makes it strong and gives it a big sweet spot. T
It's also heavier and slower to swing, which can make it hard to use in fast-paced hand battles.
Overall, if you like to play a power game and don't mind a heavier paddle, the Electrum Model E Elite could be a good fit for you.
