Looking to add the Erne to your toolbox? 

Look no further!👇🏻

Situation - your partner hits an aggressive cross court dink that puts your opponent in a defensive position

1️⃣ Wait until your opponent's head is down, so they think the side line is open. Too often I see people leave early, which leads me to redirect the ball to the middle or lob it down the sideline (which I should have done here before the 4th time 🙈) 

2️⃣ Jump the sideline focusing on getting close to the net to maximize the angles you have on your Erne

3️⃣ Be sure to practice this with your partner, so they are not caught off guard when the opponent dinks it to the middle or lobs it down the side line 👍🏻

Looking for easy points on the pickleball court? 

Try this! 👇🏻

Situation - Your team hits a solid, deep serve, which leads to your opponent not being able to move up all the way to the kitchen line for the 4th shot (the shot the serve returning team hits after their serve return) 

1️⃣ Recognize your opponent will be at the transition zone when they defend your 3rd shot

2️⃣ Set your feet to hit a drive about 60-70% speed at their toes

3️⃣ Split step forward after hitting the shot, so you can be ready to put away the next ball 👍🏻

Tired of losing to bangers?

Try this! 👇🏻

Deliberately practice hitting serve returns slower and deeper (aim at the back 1/3 of the court) 

1️⃣ This will allow you more time to move closer to the kitchen line, which gives you better angles to volley. 

2️⃣ The deeper you hit the ball, the more time you will have to react. 

More to come from my 1st pickleball getaway experience! 😁

5 reasons in < 5 seconds we couldn’t get into this point…

1. @pickleballpellegrino hits a great, deep return to set the stage

2. The returner decides to drive crosscourt which is a dangerous play, especially if their 👇

3. Partner (moi) decides to creep in and maybe crash

4. And split steps too late

5. Returning team recognizes this and hits a great volley behind crashing partner

Takeaways: 
1. Hit deep returns.
2. Don’t drive crosscourt unless it’s a perfect situation.
3. Stay patient and 4. under control as the partner of the person hitting the 3rd.
5. If you are the returning team and notice this, try volleying behind the crasher.

I’ve got numerous examples of this exact situation on tape, so thought I’d make a video to help you and remind myself to avoid it!
