How to win more speed ups by The Pickleball Clinic

Matt from The Pickleball Clinic shares a strategy to improve your speed ups.

Instead of blindly speeding up the ball, players should aim for specific spots on their opponent's body.

By targeting these areas, you can identify their weaknesses, force errors, or get a pop-up to finish the point.

The six target areas are the dominant shoulder, chest, non-dominant shoulder, dominant hip, stomach, and non-dominant hip.

Testing these spots helps you understand where your opponent might struggle and where they might excel.

Key Points:

• Aim for specific spots on your opponent's body during speed ups.

• The six target areas are dominant shoulder, chest, non-dominant shoulder, dominant hip, stomach, and non-dominant hip.

• Recognize and exploit your opponent's weaknesses by observing their reactions to different shots.

• Avoid blindly speeding up the ball; be intentional with your shots.

• Advanced players often defend their bodies well, so test the wings (shoulders and hips) first.
