Tip of the day
In this video from Ed Ju Pickleball, pro player Jaume Martinez Viche shares his secrets for hitting a powerful and controlled serve.
He explains that a good serve starts with balance and loose grip, followed by a smooth motion that transfers power from the hips through the arm.
The key to adding depth, power, and spin is finishing the swing in the right spot—a higher follow-through sends the ball deeper, while a lower finish keeps it shorter.
Jaume also advises stepping back before serving to create more space for a full motion and using forward momentum to drive the ball.
Players can develop a highly effective and versatile serve by maintaining a consistent body movement and adjusting only the hand position.
