Tip of the day

This simple tip = huge benefits by Universal Rackets

Tyler from Universal Rackets offers a crucial tip for pickleball players: mastering paddle positioning at the kitchen.

He explains that the direction of the paddle face, up or down, directly influences the ball's trajectory.

For low balls, Tyler advises opening the paddle face slightly, tilting it to 1:00 for right-handed forehands or 11:00 for backhands, to lift the ball over the net.

Conversely, for high balls, he recommends tilting the paddle face down to drive the ball downwards.

This technique minimizes wrist movement, focusing instead on a simple forward swing.

Tyler emphasizes practicing these adjustments out loud, saying "down" or "up," to reinforce the correct paddle positioning during play.

Key points:

1. Paddle face direction determines the ball's trajectory.

2. Open the paddle face for low balls to lift them over the net.

3. Tilt the paddle face down for high balls to hit them downwards.

4. Minimize wrist movement, focusing on simple forward swings.

5. Practice paddle positioning out loud for better kitchen play.
