Stay Composed When You See A Short Return

Quick Tips Stacie Townsend 07-24-2023

It is easy to get excited on the pickleball court when you see a short, high return of serve. This is because you will be quickly moving in closer to the net and ready to smash the pickleball at your opponents. However, when this happens, you may be a little overeager and drive the pickleball long out of bounds. Remember, as you move in, you have less court space to work with. So, when you see a short return, stay composed and try to drive or roll the pickleball down to your opponents’ feet. This will help you make the most of the short return. ‍♀️ ‍♂️
