Simple tips for a better serve
Tip of the day
Adam from High Five Pickleball shares tips on improving your serve, inspired by pro player James Ignatowich, known for his powerful serve.
Adam emphasizes the need for a good serving strategy, starting with achieving a consistent serve.
He suggests that once you consistently get your serve in, you should work on making it more challenging for your opponent by forcing them into awkward returns and pushing them back.
The tutorial breaks down the serve into simple steps, focusing on using your whole body to generate power.
Adam explains the importance of transferring weight from your back foot and rotating your body to engage your hips and shoulders.
This full-body approach helps add power and control to your serve.
Adam also covers how to add depth and topspin to your serve, making it harder for your opponent to return.
He advises practicing these techniques in stages, starting with getting the basics right and gradually adding more complexity.

Use your whole bod for more power.
