Tired of a having bad serve?
Tip of the day
Today’s video is all about improving your serve by fixing three common mistakes.
The video starts by talking about how beginners often hit the ball with their paddle facing up, which makes the ball go too high and hard to control.
Pckleball pro, Clifford, suggests tilting the paddle to a 45-degree angle to keep the ball low and send it straight forward.
Next, he points out that many players don't use their whole body when they serve.
Instead of just using your arm, Clifford shows how to turn your hips and use your wrist to get more power behind your serve.
This way, your serve is faster, and you have more control over where the ball goes.
The last mistake he talks about is not locking your wrist at the right angle.
Keeping your wrist at a 45-degree angle helps make sure your serve stays low and goes deep into the court.
Clifford emphasizes using your body's movement and the right wrist angle to make your serve more effective.
Key Points
Adjust the paddle angle to 45 degrees to control the serve direction.
Use full body movement, especially turning the hips, to add power to the serve.
Lock the wrist at a 45-degree angle to keep the serve low and deep.
Practice finishing the serve with the paddle over your shoulder for better control and placement.
