3 Reasons You MIGHT Be Missing Your Returns In Pickleball! #pickleball
Summary
Ava Pickleball gives three reasons you might be missing returns. First, you stand up during the shot instead of staying low. Second, your head moves, which jolts the shoulders and throws off the whole stroke. Third, you’re not creating enough space from the ball, so use footwork, tiny adjustment steps and your non-dominant hand to set the right distance.
Key takeaways
- Stay low through the whole return
- Keep your head still to keep the stroke stable
- Create space between you and the ball
- Use tiny adjustment steps and your off hand for spacing
Action items
- 20 returns focusing only on staying low
- Head-still check: film from the side
- Adjustment-step drill: two small steps before every return
- Cue: ‘low, still, space’
