Anytime you are in the transition zone… #pickleball #pickleballtips
Summary
Universal Rackets gives a simple cue for anytime you’re in the transition zone: imagine a lower ceiling. Further back the ceiling is low, and you have to stay under it rather than raising your head and standing up.
Staying under the ceiling keeps you low, which helps you hit forward rather than upward. A wider stance also helps: the wider your feet, the easier it is to slam the brakes and get set.
Key takeaways
- In the transition zone, stay under an imaginary low ceiling
- Staying low helps you hit forward, not up
- A narrow stance makes it hard to stop
- Widen your feet to brake and set
Action items
- Practice 20 transition resets while keeping your head under the ceiling
