1ļøā£ Get set early, pause, keep paddle in front (so you do not launch it long and give your opponent an early read), and sell your opponent you are going to attack down the line.
2ļøā£ Whip your forearm and elbow & hit the right side of the ball, to maximize pace, spin, deception while keeping the ball in play šš»

3 minutes of non-stop pickleball magic from this weekendās session at one of the many new clubs on Long Island - @lihr.setauket Fun fact, I worked here in 1998 when it was World Gym.

FootWORKā¦ā¦.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 canāt quite commit it to muscle memory. I could use another lesson from one of the pros on thepickleballindex.com, but until then Iām shuffling every chance I get.
#pickleball #thepickleballindex #pbindex #longislandpickleball #pickleballinspiration
Did you catch that elf in the kitchen?
Had fun making this one, hope you pick up a few things to think about out there on the pickleball court.

5 reasons in < 5 seconds we couldnāt get into this pointā¦
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 š
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. Donāt drive crosscourt unless itās 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.
Iāve got numerous examples of this exact situation on tape, so thought Iād make a video to help you and remind myself to avoid it!
