Tip of the day

Matt from Enhance Pickleball explains strategies to gain an advantage while serving in today’s video

Matt emphasizes the importance of deep serves, explaining that they give the server more time to reach the kitchen and pressure the returner.

Matt suggests focusing on Top Spin and trajectory for effective serves, demonstrating how to achieve Top Spin by going below the ball before contact and finishing above it.

He also introduces the screwball serve, a side spin serve that can confuse your opponents.

The video highlights the need for mixing up serves by varying height and placement.

Matt advises against hitting serves too hard, aiming for consistency instead.

Matt discusses positioning during and after serving, stressing the importance of staying behind the baseline after serving to allow space for the ball to bounce.

He covers third-shot strategies, including drops and drives, and the importance of moving forward after hitting a successful third shot.

The video concludes with full-court examples to illustrate these strategies in action.

Key Points:

  • Deep serves are more effective, giving the server time and pressuring the returner.

  • Focus on Top Spin and trajectory for powerful and controlled serves.

  • Mix up serves by varying height and placement, and aim for consistency.

  • Stay behind the baseline after serving to allow space for the ball to bounce.

  • Use third-shot strategies like drops and drives to move forward and gain an advantage.
