Your ready position should never be the same 🏓Follow for more pickleball tips! #franklinpickleball
Summary
The Pickleball Clinic short: ready position should never be one static pose. Adjust paddle height, stance, and weight based on whether you’re at the baseline, in transition, or at the kitchen so you’re prepared for the most likely next ball instead of a generic ‘ready.’
Key takeaways
- One ready position for all zones is wrong
- Match paddle height to likely contact
- Transition ready ≠ kitchen ready
- Situation-specific ready reduces late swings
Action items
- Call zone out loud before each point (baseline/transition/kitchen)
- Drill: change ready as you move in after the third
- Cue: ‘ready for THIS ball’
- Film: is your paddle height matching the zone?
