OTHER CREATOR TIPS!
These 3 PICKLEBALL Strategies Will BEAT 99% of ALL Players
TIP #1 - Hit Every Shot at Your Opponents Toes!
Hitting at your opponent’s feet causes a lot of struggles! When your opponent has to constantly hit upwards, they have to bend their knees and stay stable in order to keep getting those digs! Make them scared to move up!
TIP #2 - Hit Towards the Middle More Often!
Hitting towards the middle is not only a safe option for you because it’s the lowest part of the net, but also a good option when you want to make your opponent’s fight over the ball! Limit your opponent’s attacking angles by hitting to the middle!
TIP #3 - The Strategy of Shading or Following the Ball!
When you and your partner move together, you win together! When your partner goes wide for a wide dink, follow them and be ready for a speed up, or dink towards middle!

TIP #1 - KEEP THEM BACK!
Keep firm on your contact, and hit downwards at their feet, making them stay stationary or move backwards! Keep them off balance and off the kitchen line!
TIP #2 - HIT A DEEP RETURN!
When you hit a deep return, not only do they have to let the ball bounce, but you also give yourself time to get to the kitchen, and more time to react to their return!
TIP #3 - USE THEIR POWER AGAINST THEM!
When your opponents are hard hitters, don’t take big swings against their big swings! You already have all of their power to generate against them! When you take big swings on fast balls, you give yourself less time to react! Stay compact, stay stable and stay ready!
