Want to volley more like a pro? Stop taking a backswing 👀

One of my favorite concepts for volleys is ZERO → FORWARD.

Think of your paddle position in 3 spaces:
NEGATIVE = paddle gets behind your body
ZERO = paddle is out in front of your body
FORWARD = paddle moves forward from zero

At the kitchen line, we want to eliminate the negative. Instead of taking your paddle backward to generate power, start at zero and go forward.

You don’t need a big swing to create pace — and the less unnecessary movement you have, the quicker you can get your paddle back and be ready for the next ball.

I see this mistake ALL the time at the kitchen line! Players hit a beautiful aggressive angle and then just... stand there 🤦‍♀️

Here’s the thing - when you hit that sharp crosscourt dink, you’re creating a huge gap in the middle of the court. Your partner can’t cover everything!

The secret? Aggressive angles require aggressive feet. Hit your angle, then immediately get your feet back to cover the middle. This is what separates the pros from everyone else!

The BIGGEST mistake I see on speed-ups? Trying to hit them way too hard 👀

A speed-up doesn’t need to be 100% power. The goal is simply to change the pace of the ball — and oftentimes, a shorter, more controlled acceleration is actually MORE effective.

→ Smaller swing = harder to read
→ Less movement = easier to disguise
→ More control = easier to keep the ball in
→ Shorter motion = quicker recovery for the next shot

You don’t need to hit the speed-up as hard as possible. You just need to make it fast enough that they weren’t expecting it👊🏼

Are you hitting your paddle directly in front of you at the same time wondering why your dinks keep popping up? 😅

I used to be the WORST at this! When you catch the ball right in front, your paddle can literally only go UP. But here’s the secret: move your feet into that semi-closed stance and catch the ball more towards your right knee.

This simple adjustment gives you way more directional options instead of just defensive shots all the time!

I’m still working on perfecting this, but using that drop step back to position myself better has totally changed my game.

They type of dink you hit shouldn’t be random—it should be based on where the ball lands and how high it’s going to bounce👇

Here’s my simple cheat code:
🏓 Zone 1 (shallow in the kitchen): Let it bounce

🏓 Zone 2 (the pressure zone near your feet): Take it out of the air. Don’t let the ball get behind your body...

🏓 Zone 2 Exception: If that ball is going to bounce high, step back, let it bounce and attack it.

That’s a great opportunity to speed the ball up and put pressure back on your opponents.

The best players aren’t just hitting better dinks—they’re making better decisions based on what the ball gives them.

The difference between a beginner dink and an advanced dink isn’t just consistency 👀

As you level up, you’re learning how to make your dinks more intentional + aggressive.

BEGINNER DINKS:
→ More of a push through the back of the ball
→ Very little spin or shape
→ Weight distributed pretty evenly
→ Contact point gets too close to the body

ADVANCED DINKS:
→ Create space between the body + the ball
→ Let the ball reach the top of the bounce before attacking it
→ Get your weight onto the outside foot
→ Contact more of the back/side of the ball to create spin and shape

You don’t necessarily need to hit your dinks harder to make them more aggressive — you need better spacing, positioning and shape 🔥

I was ALWAYS missing my counters! 😅 Here’s what I realized: I was standing too upright when the ball came at me hard.

The fix? A simple lean forward. That’s it! When you’re taking an attacking ball, lean into it slightly and suddenly those counters that were going into the net? They’re landing clean. This tiny adjustment changed EVERYTHING for my counter game.

The transition zone in pickleball gets a whole lot easier when you stop guessing and start using this shot strategy system🚦

🟢 Green light: Ball at your knees or feet? Reset it.

🟡 Yellow light: Ball between your hips and chest? Attack it.

🔴 Red light: Ball at shoulder height or above? Dodge it. That ball is likely going out.

The biggest mistake players make in the transition zone is treating every ball the same. Your shot choice should depend on the height of the ball at contact.

Low = reset
Mid = attack
High = let it fly

The pickleball coaches are going to be mad at me for this one 😬 but I gotta disagree… you don’t HAVE to hit your drop shot on your front foot 🦶— in fact, many pickleball pros don’t!

So instead of making it your goal to hit on your front foot, make it your goal to hit your shot with your momentum moving forward!

Ever notice how your instinct is to back up during a hands battle? 🤔

I used to do this ALL the time thinking I’d get more reaction time. But here’s the thing—unless you’re getting absolutely crushed, staying UP at the line is the move. Why? Because when you’re backing up, your whole stance changes. You’re no longer in an attacking position. You’re reactive instead of proactive.

Keep your feet planted at the kitchen line during neutral hands battles. Stay ready. Stay aggressive.
