Inside my BRAIN in a Pro Pickleball Point

Most players treat a speed up as a chance to end the point. Anna Bright, the number two women's player in the world, says that is the wrong goal: a speed up is meant to keep the advantage you already have, not to hit a winner.

That single change makes the decision easy. If firing at this ball could hand the advantage back, it is not worth taking, even when the lane looks open.

She runs three checks before she pulls the trigger. The first is contact height, because a ball she meets around knee level cannot be sped up hard enough to trouble anyone, so she dinks it instead.

The second is where the ball sits relative to her body. A ball out to her side lets her extend her arm and gives her the whole court, while a ball tight in front of her chest kills the up the line attack and the sharp crosscourt angle before she starts.

The third is whether her opponents are moving. Someone caught mid step or drifting forward gets jammed, but someone balanced and set a foot off the kitchen line can take a full cut at your speed up and counter it past you.

When those checks say no, she hits a heavy, aggressive dink instead and keeps the pressure on. In the point she breaks down, she passes on two attackable looking balls that way and only pulls the trigger when the ball finally sits high with both opponents backing up.

She also picks the direction that sets up her next ball rather than the biggest opening. Attacking through the middle left her standing exactly where the counter came back, so she could sit on her forehand and finish.
