The perfect return of serve by Play Pickleball

Alex from Play Pickleball teaches how to master the return of serve, a crucial yet often overlooked shot.

Alex emphasizes the significance of hitting a deep return to gain a strategic advantage in the game.

Viewers are guided through essential techniques to improve their return, including minimizing the backswing, transferring weight to the front foot, and ensuring a firm follow-through towards the target.

Alex also includes a drill that divides the court into sections to help players practice hitting deep returns effectively.

The goal is to accumulate points based on the depth of the return, encouraging players to aim for the furthest section from the baseline.

Key Points

• Hitting a deep return of serve is more beneficial than a fast, short return.

• Transfer weight to your front foot to avoid popping the ball up when hitting the return.

• Use the lower body and core, not just the upper body, to drive power into the return.
