Stop Defaulting Middle — Aim Where It Hurts
Summary
Briones Pickleball Breakdown pushes you off the autopilot middle ball. Middle is often fine, but when the geometry says otherwise, aim the target that actually hurts — feet, body, or the open lane the point creates.
Key takeaways
- Middle is a default, not always the best target
- Aim the target that creates the next problem for them
- Choose consciously before contact
Action items
- For one game, call your target before every kitchen ball (middle / feet / wide)
