The Four Most Important Shots in Pickleball (Part 1)

Serves and returns decide how every rally starts, and they're the two shots players practice least. This lesson covers the three most common mistakes on each.

On the serve, stop making contact down at your knees. You're allowed to contact the ball as high as your belly button, and serving from knee height forces you to hit way up to clear the net, which bleeds power.

Make contact at hip height instead. You use the full height you're allowed and get a much stronger path to the net.

Second, stop arming the serve. Throw a ball using only your arm and it lands at midcourt; throw it with your whole body rotating and it nearly reaches the fence.

Your serve works the same way. Flow into the shot, transfer your weight from back foot to front foot, and let the rotation create the pace.

Third, stop tossing the ball. The serve is the only shot in pickleball you fully control, and every variation you add to the toss makes it harder to repeat.

Drop the ball from a still hand out in front of you so you can contact the same spot every time. This applies whether you hit out of the air or use the drop serve.

On the return, shrink your swing. Instead of taking the paddle back behind your head, stay in ready position and simply turn your body; that turn is all the backswing you need on both sides.

Back up off the baseline too. Moving forward is easier than backpedaling, so give yourself room, split step as the serve is struck, and meet the ball moving in.

Finally, stop admiring your returns. Hit the return and immediately run to the kitchen, because the third shot is coming while you're standing there watching.

The phrase to keep from this one: serve and stay, return and run.

Key points

Contact your serve at hip height, not knee height, so you stop bleeding power.
Generate serve pace by rotating and transferring weight forward, not by arming it.
Drop the ball from a still hand in front of you instead of tossing it, so your contact repeats.
Return with a small swing: stay in ready position and just turn your body.
Back off the baseline, hit the return moving forward, and run to the kitchen without admiring it.
