šŸ“ That short dink might look like an easy winner… but it could cost you your advantage!

When your opponents are standing farther back, a short shot may seem like the perfect choice.

But if they reach it and move forward, you could give them the chance to take control of the rally.

The key is knowing when a shot helps you and when it helps your opponents.

Want more time to reach the kitchen line after your return of serve?

šŸ“ The secret is combining depth and height.

Hitting the ball deep is important, but giving it enough height over the net helps you buy time to move forward and get into position.

Try aiming for about 3 feet over the net while keeping your return deep.

šŸŽ¾ Is your pickleball return landing too short?

Keep your return low and hit the shot deep enough to make their next shot more difficult.

Want to improve your pickleball return of serve? Start with depth!

Here’s why low returns can cause problems.

When you aim too close to the net, you leave yourself very little room for error.

A little more height can help you get the ball safely over the net and keep the point going.

Remember, missing your return gives the serving team a point!

When moving to your backhand, crossing your feet can make it harder to stay balanced, leave part of the court open, and slow down your recovery.

CJ explains why moving sideways can help you stay balanced, cover more court, and get to more shots.

This helps you keep your paddle in a better position and take pace off the ball instead of sending it flying back.
