3 Key Tips That Can Make Pickleball More Fun The Next Time You Step Out There

➡️ Go into games with intent 

➡️ Improvise & Experiment (Though our game plan was to focus more on middle dinks, I am able to recognize when it is time to mix up my dink, as I sense a crosscourt dink could lead to a pop up or a defensive dink) 

➡️ When attacking, always consider what your opponent may be thinking to inform your speed & placement on your attack (May sound difficult mid rally to consider, so I recommend discussing the game with people, asking questions, studying the pros, and your own film to make better decisions in these situations!)

Looking For A New Pickleball Play To Try With Your Partner?

1. Cross Court Lob Over Non-Dominant Shoulder (More Effective to Hit Ball Out of the Air To Reduce Your Opponent’s Timing To React) 

2. Slide As A Team To Allow For Erne Opportunity 
(I Did Not, But I Now Will After Reflecting Upon This Sequence)

**In a Game Situation, Jordan’s steinbergjordan best play is probably to inside out a forehand cross court dink to combat the other opponent poaching his short drop shot straight ahead**
