1 bad shot does not mean a bad GAME! #pickleball #pickleballtips
Summary
Universal Rackets reminds you that one bad shot doesn’t mean the point is over. Recreational players often panic. They try to make the drop so perfect that it goes into the net, or they feel they have to end the point on a high ball and overhit it into the net or long.
If you put the ball away and your opponent gets it back, you’ll get another shot to hit. Play the next ball instead of trying to win on the one in front of you.
Key takeaways
- Don’t panic after a less-than-perfect drop
- Over-perfecting the drop leads to net errors
- Overhitting high balls gives away points
- If they get it back, you get another shot
Action items
- Aim drops with safer net clearance for one game
- Hit high balls at 70% power and stay ready for the next shot
- Create a quick reset routine after errors
