Easily One Of The Most Important Skills To Develop Mentally & Physically On The 🥒🏓 Court, Especially For Transitioning 🎾Players 
👇🏻

The Reset

When a ball is being hit from your opponent from high to low when you are in the transition zone or at the kitchen line, there is not enough space to allow the ball to bounce up to your hip and crank a low, hard drive. Thus, you must drill this concept mentally, so you don't constantly whip the ball into the net or the back wall. To be able to reset the balance of power in the rally from the opponent having a significant advantage to being even, follow these tips to be able to execute this from a physical standpoint.

1️⃣ Anticipate the ball is going to be hit hard and low by placing your body weight low and wide in your glutes, so you can get underneath the ball with your body in a stable, balanced position

2️⃣ Place the paddle in front, wrist back and stable, paddle head low, paddle face slightly open, so you can absorb the pace of the ball effectively with the ball just curling over the net into the kitchen

3️⃣ If you cannot reach the ball, angle your paddle face, so the ball will just curl over the net into the kitchen, keeping a stiff wrist, and make contact shortly after the ball has bounced, as the shorter after the ball has bounced, the easier it will be to avoid mis hitting the ball

4️⃣ This is not a swing, it's almost as if you are catching / blocking the ball. Take note of my follow through. 

Let me know how this goes for you 👍🏻

How To Study 📖 Pro Pickleball 🥒🏓 Players To Take Your Game To The Next Level 📈! 

1️⃣ Turn on a professional match on YouTube 📺& only focus on 1 player the entire match. I recommend a player you aspire to emulate. In my case here as a right side player, hayden_patriquin . Pause the tape once you see one shot you want to add to your toolbox 🧰. 

2️⃣ Practice the shot in a drilling session, so you can master the technique & build confidence to execute in a match 😁

3️⃣ Go for the shot when you see it in a match & be sure to film the match, so you can reflect constructively upon your shot selection, technique, & execution👍🏻

Nothing Better Than Taking The Train In From Long Island, Walking Up The Stairs Seeing The World's Most Famous Arena To Then Walk About 100 Feet Into The Mecca Of NYC Pickleball ltpickleballnyc  To Play On Court 1 With Some Outstanding Players, Even Better People! 

It Felt Good Hitting A Couple of ATPs With A Small Margin For Error, As I Have Been Drilling That Lately, As I Noticed I Have Been Missing Opportunities To Win More Rallies For My Team. Keeping The Elbow In, Getting My Feet Set, Weight Back, & Focusing On My Follow Through Aiming Right At The Sideline Helped Me Execute. Thank You alex_aliscio For Tons Of Feeds This Past Week! 🙏🏻

I Would Be Remised Not To Highlight One Of The Many Top Notch Counters len.yang_ Executed Today. Hitting The Ball Out In Front & Closing The Paddle Face A Bit To Allow For Maximum Power While Keeping The Ball Ball Down Are Some Key Adjustments I Look Forward To Working On When I Hit The 🥒🧪 Next!

FootWORK…….Want to improve at pickleball? Get a coach. Lose the ego. Drill. Work on your own. Video yourself. Focus on boring, but extremely important things like footwork.

Footwork has to be the most underrated technical aspect of pickleball and lack of good footwork will get exposed more and more as you level up. 

Like me, you may know for the most part what good pickleball footwork looks like, but can’t quite commit it to muscle memory. I could use another lesson from one of the pros on thepickleballindex.com, but until then I’m shuffling every chance I get.
