Assuming they want to return with forehand, don’t be that guy that can’t return backhand. I’m no expert, but knowing my backhand was weaker, I practiced it. Now I welcome a shot to my BH.
Great video, awesome tips! Exactly what I’ve been looking for, going to give all these serves a try, hands-down, the best Pickleball channel on RUclips!
Serving is court management to focus on the player your serving to. Then it forces your opponents partner to manage more of the court than they can to aid the person your serving to, stacking both players to manage 1/4th of the court together by your return shot (3rd shot) leaving 3/4s undefended and hopefully you capitalize on that 5th shot scoring a point for your team. This makes them play catch up to defend 1/2 the court between the two oppontents again which should be where you and your partner are doing on the kitchen line. If they do return your 5th shot they should be shifted enough again to place that 7th shot where they both have a hard time returning it, making the back hand opponent player either give you a high shot for your team or hopefully underpowered into the net. Its like chase the ace
Side note, with the laser down the middle...so many people will call "wrong side!" when it either hits the line or is close and too fast for them to react..it is quite comical how often it happens where I play... I have to leave it a foot in on some opponents.
Great video as usual however, the example that you show of the flat serve, I think now would be an illegal serve The wrist has to be above the top of the paddle head and not parallel

@@jazzdad52 I've come to actually prefer my backhand return. Agreed
I watch pretty much all the PB paddle review channels and I have never once seem them even talk about his paddle. Why is that?
Check out tickle my pickle. His just dropped!
Did you just promoted 3 different product in one single vid?! BTW, good command of pickleballs. They really listen to your paddle!
That makes total sense. Now time to get out and practice those serves.
Me watching this with my $8 Walmart paddle 😵💫😵💫

I am that player! 😂😂😂 Backhand slice serve (using a drop) is a killer to anyone under 4.5.

returning the last serve is my specialty. I am very good at returning them.

You don’t need 5 serves though
Variety is the spice of life
9:44 I blame the pickleball not being perfectly round. Clearly that’s my biggest problem
😆
The high skinny serve is one thats surprisingly effective for me, though I've been thinking I created it 🎉
