Have you played tennis? So have I. When I first started playing pickleball, I had NO idea what I was doing. Thankfully, I did have some good people around me to help me out. Although even with that, it still took hours of playing and studying the game to make some really huge strides in my game. I can say with confidence, that if you apply these 9 pickleball tips, it will seriously transform your game. Believe me. Check it out below!

Which tips did you NOT know?
Coming from 4 decades of tennis into pickleball. This was the most instructive and useful video I've seen. Thank you coach Briones.
Thanks !! 😊😊
#1. Use Continental (preferred) or Eastern grip (good for drives)
#2. Learn/adjust to the Ball/Paddle (most balls will stay low; also you want to move up to the ball since they bounce less and will drop early)
#3. Shorten your swing (avoid the big loopy/circular motion; aim for getting back into the ready position ASAP)
#4. Achieve the correct ready position at the NVZ line (paddle at waist-level, towards 11-12 to bias the backhand to defend against body shots)
#5. Attack the FEET vs. driving through at their BODY (harder to block low shots)
#6. Don’t fear the NVZ (treat it like the tennis net; be comfortable with open-stance volleys)
#7. Take advantage of the NVZ (aka hit a drop shot to defend and set-up a better shot)
#8. Learn DINKS (Force low-contact points)
#9. Be a student of the game (play against different types of players)
Thanks Toan!!
Not being a tennis player the different grips mentioned was Greek to me. Showing and focusing on good visuals would be very helpful. Great video for a newbie in the game.
Great recap!
@@tonylaughter2026 Yes, the grips were mentioned but could be shown for clarity. Great video anyway!
I’ll do a video specifically on grips soon!
I hadn’t thought about the backhand ready position. I love watching you play because you are so balanced. You don’t try to finish a rally too soon.
Thanks!
Excellent tutorial for tennis players transitioning to pickleball. Volleying is the biggest adjustment for me, but I found hitting against a hard wall from about five feet away ingrains the correct paddle position and is great for hand/eye during those exchanges.
Glad it was helpful!
This is one of the best videos yet, Jordan. I’m using it as a template for introducing friends to the game.
Thanks Dave!!
Thanks for translating tennis to pickleball. I'm playing PB for the first time today after 40+ years of tennis and this was some of the best advice I've seen.
Glad to help!
Please consider producing a tip sheet that we can access and print out.
Good idea!
Great video! I think it's so important to remember some of the basics. Thanks so much
No problem!
Great video! All great, effective tips. Thanks Jordan.
Thanks Sonny!!!
Jordan,
I'm a 70 yr old beginner player since November and have learned so much from your videos. I love the detail on your full videos vs the shorts.
I appreciate that!
Another great instructional video. Excellent tips Jordan!
Thanks Debra!!
Great tips and lastly... Have Fun! Thank you 👍
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really great instruction! Thanks coach Briones!
👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for some great tips. You explain the steps very well.

Regarding #5, some players take it personally when you try to hit it at them. However, few take it personally when you try to hit their feet.
Lol
Enjoy your all encompassing coaching technique. As an infinite beginner, I watch your videos multiple times & continually recognize skills needed to imbed into the psyche. Thx!
I appreciate that!
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Np !
Very helpful, Jordan. Thank you!
Thanks Connie !!
I'm a 4.0 tennis player learning pickleball. Thank you for your tips.

Thanks for the great tips, I'm learning so much great content, now I have to put it to use 😆
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great tips and explanations! Thanks
Thanks Debra!
Great video and key tips for all levels.
Thanks Nate!!
Continental is like swinging a hammer (or a smug closed handshake), semi-eastern/eastern are welcoming open handshakes, but ya. I prefer continental for backhands, semi-eastern forehands and at the kitchen. Eastern for overheads, semi-western for the odd pancake shot 🤪- that's how I've always played tennis and seems to transition well into PB. I appreciate your content and that you've got a tennis BG... youtube's a wealth of info. Honestly, what grip do you favor at the NVZ? I might try using conti more as most shots are BH's. Cheers!
Mostly continental at the line, to defend hard fast attacks
Great video. I’ve been playing for a year and I “know” these things but don’t always do them. Thanks for the fresh take on these key skills.
Thanks Mike!!
One of your very best videos!
Thanks Dennis!
Thanks ! I’ve been playing for 1yr 4 months just now getting to where I’m Able to drop it into the nv zone and now have a dinking game as well . Your videos have been a great help to me ! Your the best ! Thank you!
Thanks Keith!!
Great stuff, Jordan. Well done!
These 9 points make me very happy I had the Instructor I did for my initial four months. He covered all but keeping the lower ready position.
Your videos are ... very informative ... well delivered ... reinforcing ... encouraging ... and well produced. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks so much Vic !
Oh...! Only the very best people spin their paddles in-between points.
😁
Great video !!!
Thanks Patrick!
Awesome Vid!
Thanks!
Another great video!
Thanks!
Very helpful 🙏🏼
Thanks Rupal !
Jordan, even for a individual who has been playing for a while your video is a good reminder to get back to basics "Your 9 Basic Tips" which sometimes we drift away from. GREAT VIDEO as always, hope to see you in December for a lesson.
Thanks Vito!!!
Wow what a great video
I am not a complete newbie but close
Wished I would have started watching your videos from the beginning
Simply the best
Glad it was helpful!
This video is very informative. I have my level up skills test at my club tomorrow. Trying to level to 2.5. These are things that I have learned but it helps to try to remember them this way. Thanks👍🏼
Awesome Pam!
I think the shake hands grip is actually an Eastern grip..... Continental is a holding hammer grip
Great lesson!
Thanks Carter!
Great video, Jordan.
Thanks!!
Great tips. I’m a brand new player to this sport. Came from a tennis background. Looking forward to enjoying the fastest growing paddle sport!
Welcome aboard!
Good job Jordan! 👊🔥👊
Thanks Mo!
Great video Jordan! As a former Tennis player agree with these. The last one as student of the game is big because you need to both learn different styles but then work on your different setups. That really helped me is intentionally working on Ernie, 5 shot, etc. The other big thing as a tennis player is taking Table tennis type concepts like forehand and backhand rolls at the NVZ line. You could argue this is the same as hitting or pushing to opponents feet but just a wipeout angle. It's really made a noticeable difference vs my other tennis based opponents. Last one, is probably in that dinking category but one thing that separated me quickly from the other tennis converts in my group was the reset dink. It's probably the most satisfying point when you get a couple nice resets and win the point.
👍🏻👍🏻
Also being a tennis player for over 50 years, I prefer to approach the net to finish. So when on the receiving side, I like to start from the back and move forward instead of starting at the NVZ.
Also hitting on the rise made it easy to handle the low bounce pickleball. Comments?
I learn a lot from your videos.
Starting back doesn’t benefit you in any way, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
Hitting balls at the apex will allow you to hit better quality shots, so this is what I always recommend.
As a beginner it is hard to learn to dink as you need to soften your grip and still have enough feel and power to drop the ball into NVZ. I actually like the challenge to do this. My group likes to volley the back and forth. I want to use the dink to my advantage as expect a volley. Thanks Jordan. I enjoyed all 9 tips and will come back to review my progress.
Awesome thanks!
Excellent video. Specially for tennis players like myself
Thanks Jonathan!
Wonderful.
Thanks man!
Nice job Jordan. Not coming from a racquet sport background, the only grip I was taught was the continental grip. Sounds like I should stick with it.
Nice!
Thank you. I told a boy I would play with him tomorrow and then I was stressing because I didn’t know how to play but this helped
Awesome!
Energetic tennis player here. You make the BEST videos. Thank you so much! Subscribed.
Actually, I have a question for any tennis player. Will playing PB mess up my tennis playing muscle memory? Tennis is still my first love.
I played both. If you consistently play both, I see no problem.
watched 6 vids before yours, nobody mentioned the grip. Thanks
Thanks!
7:55 The only part of that stroke that's "short" is the backswing, measured by the depth of the court. Especially when Jordan starts the tip of the paddle below the ball, the vertical development is huge. Quite a lot of that is the run-out after contacting the ball. This seems to use an elbow flick (or a forward-biased rising motion out of the shoulder), mostly in the vertical plane. Interesting comparison to the wrist flick in the horizontal domain (using a western grip) which I posted about a few minutes ago.
Along with the backswing, I would say the follow through (finish) of the shot is much more compact as well, when you compare it to something like a tennis stroke.
@@BrionesPickleball Hey Jordan, lovely to see you here. You've made a huge impact on my pickleball progression with your fabulous tutorials. Lots of love.
But I have to say: Tennis? What's tennis? I rejected tennis as a sport way back in the 1970s, because it was too much of a cult of the one perfect motion (mostly the serve, but the serve in tennis is a bit of a thing).
That's also why I rejected golf. The _only_ stroke you have in golf is the serve. And it's always underhand, with no ball toss. Crazy!
I'm a child of the golden age of the video arcade. The games back then were more abstract and didn't bother much with "realism". Most of life in the 1970s was like watching paint dry. If you knew someone whose parents could afford a VCR player, you went over there to visit, and you pressed the fast-forward button for hours at a time, totally entranced by the vertiginous experience of a future technology. If the thing had a remote, it almost certainly had a thick wire attached to the main unit. But in the arcade, you put your quarter in the machine (those were worth something then) and then you sweated bullets for three minutes as 15 abstract shapes tried to eat you alive.
If I count the feet and arms of all four PB players on a doubles court (including my own) and the ball, too, that's _almost_ an acceptable replacement for those 15 frantic shapes I grew up with. I'm a bit of a disaster the first time I play with a couple of new players in the same game, because I'm always trying to track everything. I can really only focus properly on the ball after I'm good at guessing what all the people are likely to do next. Moral of the story: we all come to the game from a different background. With this background, my paddle is always behind the ball, in a vast array of situations where I continue to lack the fine motor skills to properly handle. But it's getting better. Last week I did my first ever A+ reset of a blistering smash to the top of my socks, with a textbook drop into the kitchen, straight ahead. So immense, I'm still walking on a cloud. This is a chaos game of randomly drawn rec players ranging from 3.0-3.75, some of whom are basically just a giant Godzilla arm waiting for a high ball. It's a small miracle of advance planning merely to get behind the ball.
I actually played in my first ever "intermediate and up" game last night. There's exactly one such community session a week at any of the indoor facilities around me. All 12 slots are gone within five seconds of 07:30 on Friday mornings, when bookings for the week open up. The cognitive load was strangely low in this game. It was almost sedate. You could mostly predict where people would go because of where people _should_ go.
This left a lot of mental space to cope with the bear-sized hulk of a former racquetball player, whose yellow zone extended down to the top of his gym socks. So much side spin, you started to ask: Was that a corkscrew? Did the ball clear the net by executing a Fosbury flop in mid-flight? His backswing was packed with deception. I've never been forced to hold so tight to my outside line in my entire life. Unfortunately, my partner didn't flow into the central lane as I squeezed wide, and so we watched quite a few balls smoke us down the mid-line in a way I normally never permit.
I'm 6'5" so I stand where Ben Johns would stand. I have no real hand skills to justify this (not yet), but my long shadow up the middle often intimidates my opponents, all the same. The joy of hulking in mid-court sure stopped in a hurry against an opponent who could light up my outside shoulder with pace and precision, off a backswing I couldn't read. He hasn't got much of a short game, but it's no easy matter to force him into a short game. He never sends you a ball where you stand there and calmly perfect your drop shot. One of his spins hopped off the floor with such a hard, lateral kick it landed in the playing court beside me. Well, it's a small gymnasium. You have to make new introductions to attempt an ATP.
Tennis was a totally different way to cope with watching paint dry in the 1970s. It was like saying, hey paint, hold my beer. Watching someone painfully perfect their tennis serve is half-dry paint's worst nightmare.

I'm totally flattered if you've made it this far, but I'm also writing for the benefit of my game notes. I keep extensive game notes as a way to skive off intentional practice. If your game recollection is good enough, you can partially circumnavigate intention practice by this method. And clearly I'm observant enough, across all eight tracks of the 8-track cartridge, so that's not a problem.
The final thought I'm going to tack on here is that I've reached the culmination of my RUclips consumption career for videos titled "9 tricks from a random grab-bag of unfocused instruction".
At the end of the day, two things will keep you stuck at the 3.5 level.
1) Banging every ball.
2) Informing your game entirely from RUclips videos titled by the number of different kinds of nuts contained, without naming any specific kind.
Actually, that's a brilliant idea. I should post a video soon on "3 things that will keep you stuck at the 3.5 level" and then mostly blame excess consumption of RUclips videos where the title begins with a number.
Yes, the algorithm. Okay, the algorithm. The algorithm giveth, and the algorithm taketh away. I've personally leveled up to the "taketh away" phase. Videos titled "9 tricks" helped me arrive where I am now. My gratitude is immense, but finite.
1 Corinthians 13:11
_When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child, and I clicked thumbnails like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me._
Funny that. First time in my entire life I've quoted the Bible by chapter and verse. And I grew up with a father who was a minister in the United Church of Canada prior to my teenaged years. And my granddad had a big car with an 8-track tape player, and it played Dolly Parton. She just issued a new 8-track in 2020 either as a novelty item, or for her many centenarian fans who won't let go.
Forty years from now, people will be going "what's clickbait?" and then the host will interview some strange soul who is still posting clickbait titles to some cobwebby social media platform, for much the same reason that Dolly remembers and honours her true, original fanbase.
Great video, with examples. Thanks!
Thanks Michael !
Hi Jordan, Great info as usual. This is a bit of an aside but I was wondering what you are noticing since switching paddles from Engage to Selkirk power air. Thanks.
Thanks Daisy. I will do some paddle reviews in the near future.
So glad I'm subscribed to your videos. A 2.7 player in my open play uses his hips to create racquet speed and also bends his wrist at the hit to try to pinpoint accuracy. Thoughts?.
Would have to see it to analyze it.
Thanks for the video! What's the thumbnail of this video referring to? You seem to be circling your left hand with a 'Stop' caption?
Actually, it’s something that you should be doing, I’ll address it in another video!
I've never even hit a ball yet so have no idea how it even feels yet, but I feel I'm learning from your videos already! Getting paddles for Christmas and can't wait to play!
You don't say what an Eastern grip is?
Eastern grip is very close to a continental grip. If your a righty, you would rotate your hand on the grip clockwise a few millimeters or so. I’ll make a video on this in the future.
@@BrionesPickleball Thanks so much! Merry christmas!
5:00 I'm barely a 3.5, and I can plainly see Jordan sucks at the western grip.
Because I used to play squash, it's natural for me to whip the paddle with the wrist in the horizontal plane. I mostly only use this on one of my attack serves, and when striking lobs that bounce up high at the back court (when I don't trust myself to drop it).
Jordan is trying to add a vertical rotation of the wrist, and that's insane for this grip. The extreme overbite thins your paddle relative to the ball, and you don't have a large margin of tolerance in the contact point (even worse when on a surface that doesn't bounce predictably). I load up the torso rotation quite a lot (almost golf level), lead with the butt of my paddle as my torso uncoils, and then flip the paddle hard right as I come through the ball (entirely in the plane of the ball motion). The overbite supplies the top spin, so you don't need to roll the tip of the paddle upward through the ball. My handle is usually entirely parallel to the ground all the way through the stroke, and with a lot of weight transfer off the back foot. It's a full body uncoil, progressing from large muscles to small, similar to pitching a baseball or rowing.
As a serve, it's a powerful wristy stroke with a low arc that adds deception to the direction the ball comes off the paddle. Timing is everything, because the plane of the paddle is rotating through the ball trajectory at the point of contact. Early contact relative to your swing (under-rotated paddle) sends the ball to first base. Late contact relative to your swing (over-rotated paddle) sends the ball to third base. The opponent can't read this until very late in the stroke.
People who come from tennis have a "firm" wrist, and no skill equity with this kind of wrist movement.
Because I'm 6'5", I can reach deep into the kitchen to catch soft balls sitting up that other players would have to take on a dink. These don't need to be hit very hard. Because the contact point is so far forward of the NVL, the ball doesn't travel very far, and that takes time away from the opponent even without speed. This is the other place I'll use a quick wrist flick, making it hard for the opponent to judge whether the ball is going left or right. It also means I'm not aiming to one precise point like the pros do. It's more of a small area shot that's extremely hard to anticipate. Players with superior reflexes get a lot of these balls back, but not without juddering at the last second, leaving you with another ball to attack while they're recovering their balance. When the tip of your paddle contacts the ball 4.5' into the kitchen, you have a lot of angles available to spray the ball. The opponent thinks: Surely there's no way he can reach that. Wrong! And then a wrist flick at the last second to send the ball left or right.
Here's the real poop that Jordan is not sharing. If you don't already have this technique from some other sport (squash, perhaps badminton) there aren't enough applications in PB to make it worth learning. It's fragile to how well you read the bounce, and there are other strokes to impart top spin that you can use regularly all around the court, _way_ more worth a future time investment. But if you have got a practiced wrist snap (from years of playing some other sport), it can be entirely deadly, from a western grip, used in the right circumstance.
I'm not the only person who uses a western grip for this style of drive. There's one other lanky guy who does a few videos on RUclips (he owns a ball machine) who does much the same thing while striding forward through the serve, starting well behind the baseline. I could learn to walk through this stroke without much trouble, but I haven't bothered, because-as I said already-it doesn't translate to many other aspects of the game. The walking version wallops the ball almost effortlessly, without uncorking the torso like John Daly. But no matter. Building up torso rotation musculature is the _one_ aspect that does translate to the rest of the game. Those same muscles augment torso stability in every other situation.
I should add a footnote on the physics here, since I bothered to post a wall of text.
Accelerating your entire paddle face through the air is energy intensive, and the longer your paddle face spends at top speed, the worst this gets.
By comparison, the wrist flick is energy efficient. You're only reaching maximum face speed (and acceleration) at the very last second. Also, because you lead with your handle butt, your paddle face doesn't front the rushing air stream for most of the stroke, while your prime movers are generating steam. And when you do start to flick with the wrist, the pressure wave only builds up at the tip, close to where you intend to strike the ball.
Hmm. I was reading about how airplanes fly recently and planes really do push a large pressure wave along, well out in front of the nose and wings. I wonder how much energy the pressure wave transfers to the ball. That's a factor rarely discussed. (The pressure wave when crossing the sound barrier is easily strong enough to pop open welds in a poorly designed titanium aircraft.) This won't happen with an open racket (tennis), or with a thin baseball bat, and probably not very much with a small ping pong paddle, but it's a much bigger effect with a PB paddle. The last-second flick might actually generate a large standing pressure wave on the tip of the paddle, right before you contact the ball. Might even add a few percent to your drive power compared to flat mechanics.
The snap effect is highly multiplied with a longer handle, so I also hang my pinky off the bottom of the grip.
[*] How airplanes fly is more complicated than you've ever been told. This guy's day job was to explain to _Boeing engineers_ that sometimes they fall prey of their own misconceptions in translating Navier-Stokes from theory to practice. The venturi effect alone is not a complete or sufficient explanation.
This may be the longest reply I’ve ever received, lol. Regardless of my western grip technique, the point of the example was that it’s way harder to hit with a western grip, as the paddle won’t bite the ball the same way as tennis.
Even elite players that come from hitting a western grip in tennis, will wisely adjust to hitting with an eastern grip to develop a more consistent ball.

Great bundle of tips. Are you working on transitioning to a two-handed backhand, especially on drives?
I already have… I’ll make a video soon!
Excellent. Looking forward to the two-handed backhand video.
👍🏻👍🏻
great! particularily for tennis players transitioning. thanks.
Thanks !
Hey brother, just curious if you have had any "elbow" issues with the Air- ??
I'm not sure but it seems like it's causing stress on my elbow.
I'm gonna try a Cushion grip n overwrap but may have to go to the 003....
Thoughts??
Kev-
Anytime you have more of a power paddle, my guess is that it will slightly put more stress on you. That goes with any brand. Something like the 003 is super soft and is great for absorbing impact. I play with both.
@@BrionesPickleball
Yeah, it definitely is "hard" resistance.
I'm going to try a Gel wrap n see what happens.
I know the 003 is supposed to have less power but I'm 6'3" 250, how much power do I need..??
If elbow is sore, won't matter...
Thanks Jordan.
Where do you give lessons at? Would love to arrange a lesson on day 😊
If you’d like to train with me, here’s a link below
Brionespickleball.com/coaching
Which paddle model is using now ? I noticed in the linked they have 3 choices .
Invikta power air, and sometimes the 003
That Engage paddle had a better sound to it..;) jk looks like you're enjoying the Selkirk. Thank you for all of your videos; appreciate you and Katrina!
Thanks Erin!!
Is that paddle any good?
Yes, Lots of spin and power
His eastern forehand grip, looks more like semi western grip!
😎
Thanks Jordan! For the last time Jordan is not teaching you all how to spin the paddle! LOL
PRACTICE what he's teaching and do become a student of the game. If not you're just a rec player and that's all you will ever be. Nothing wrong with that
Thanks Jim!
I'm noticing that the majority of volleys at the NVZ are with the backhand. Have you mentioned that in previous sessions?
All the time.. lol

Pickleball is the ANSWER to a question no one ever asked
Well i like tennis and ping pong so ill combined them ! Ew ew ew i know i know we can will come up with the name after we smoke a joint ,
Jk I'm sire there is a great reason for calling it pickle
👍🏻
Dude, they were probably SO high on bongs when they named it lol.......lol
I saw a recent game where Parris Todd used a baseline game to keep Anna Leigh Waters away from the her dink game and Anna lost the match. This makes me question whether the soft game will remain a focus of the sport.
You’re talking about singles. Totally different game
Haha I enjoy how u explain different than tennis, need to speak our language
😎
I never miss one of videos and I consider you to be a very noteworthy pro. That being said, I would like to see shorter videos, though, with less repetition in explaining a particular skill. I take your tips as gospel and do not need convincing to adopt them. As the old saying goes, "Less is more." Thanks for posting your tips...they have definitely improved my play.
Thanks Robin, check out our TikTok videos, if you want something under 30 seconds.
Personally, I enjoy the in depth explanations.
Thanks Dave!!
I think robin meant 5-8 minutes and not 19
90 percent of our videos are 7-12 minutes long. It’s varies
The Slam Master forces you to use short strokes.
Maybe
Never played before. I just need a trainer in NY.
Go out and play!
One missing tip is the serve....sometimes I have a chalenge serving...

@@BrionesPickleball Thank you, Great videos I am sharing them to Pickleball in Oaxaca Mexico, we have about 35 people playing here 3-4 times a week...
Awesome!!
Guess what I got for my birthday?
Yep, so I’m trying to sponge as much off RUclips as I can before I actually hit the court. I have a tennis background but also ping-pong…and this seems to resemble the latter, without the spin.
Regardless, this is about the best instructional video I have found.
(Now if the weather would cooperate…😎)
Thank you!
A new paddle!
@@BrionesPickleball 👍
I have a great tip! Take up an activity that requires movement, skill, focus, coordination, ability, and effort. Pickleball doesn't meet any of these requirements. You can spin that paddle all you want to look like a real athlete, but it aint working my lazy friend!
Lol. Send in a video of your athleticism. We’d love to see it.
Great advice for us tennis players transitioning. Learn to “dink”
👍🏻👍🏻
Did his paddle flips distract anyone else? Like why?
Lol
@@BrionesPickleball It's like when you're in middle school and you always jump up and try to touch tall signs lol.
Thanks for the content, I'm just a weirdo that gets distracted easily.
Haha
When you discuss the grips you don't show us what you're talking about. Western.eastern.etc.
I will make a video on this soon
Would've been nice if you showed what each grip is, instead of just saying the name.
ruclips.net/video/-tCvbHktXMc/видео.html
I don't see how you can recommend using a continental grip because Pickleball is so "fast."
Watch the first video you post after that tip. You are spinning your paddle in your hand AT LEAST 4-5 turns BETWEEN EVERY RALLY EXCHANGE! Within the rally! And within a single rally exchange where your partner is hitting the ball you spin it TWO SEPARATE TIMES while the ball is still in the air. You do this two separate times so it's not just a single nervous twitch. This just looks incredibly bad technique, I've never seen you teach a student to spin the paddle during a rally exchange.
If you have time to spin the paddle like that then you surely have the time to change the paddle in your hand an eighth of a rotation to go from an eastern backhand to an eastern forehand. Please correct me where my observations are inaccurate.
Haha. Yes, you are very inaccurate. Me spinning my paddle has absolutely nothing to do with teaching the continental grip, which I still teach. Every time the ball comes back to
Me, I’m ready to hit the ball. That’s what is most important. I’m not teaching players to spin their paddles. Lol
Why so much volley in the pickleball? Wouldn't you want to surprise your opponent with a well placed hit to the exterior lines and make them run backwards to get it? I don't understand it. Seems like you're being kind to your opponent volleying and dinking into kitchen.
It’s all situational and depends on your shot accuracy and where your opponents are. Remember, the court is pretty small, so when playing doubles, very mobile players can get to pretty much any ball.
I just have to be honest with you, I'm distracted from what you are saying because you keep spinning your racket.
Thanks, it’s called a paddle btw
Thank you for letting me know.
I totally agree. It's very distracting. Why do it????
