5 Tips on How to Be a 5.0 Pickleball Player with James Ignatowich

Today’s video, featuring pro James Ignatowich, shares five key strategies to help you reach a 5.0 level and beyond.

When playing defense from the transition zone, focus on dropping and resetting balls to the middle of the court.

For right-side players, being aggressive with your forehand, especially near the sideline, is crucial.

Prioritize contacting the ball in front of you and getting volleys down when countering fast balls.

To control the kitchen line, "hold" your dinks before contact, which can dictate where you ultimately place the dink.

Learning to hit an aggressive two-handed backhand dink is also a key strategy for high-level play.

Defensive Resets to the Middle: When playing defense from the transition zone, focus on dropping and resetting balls to the middle of the court.
