Fix Number 2 to NEVER miss AGAIN! #pickleball #pickleballtips

Summary

Universal Rackets miss-fix series, fix number two: keep your head down and your body balanced through contact. On easy balls, players get excited and want to kill it, so they look up at where they’re aiming before they hit, or they fall out of the shot. The head coming up pulls the whole body up and you mis-hit the sitter.

Key takeaways

• Fix #2: keep your head down and stay balanced through contact
• Easy balls trigger looking up early to see the target
• Lifting your head pulls your whole body up and causes mis-hits
• Falling out of the shot ruins sitters
