Pickleball has gained quite a lot of popularity in recent years, but to excel at it, it's imperative to adopt effective strategies that can elevate your gameplay. Here are five key strategies to help you play like a pro:1. Crosscourt Shots:Hitting the ball crosscourt can help a player counter their opponent effectively. However, what many do not realise that a crosscourt is actually less challenging than attempting a straight shot. Crosscourt also tends to reduce the margin of error and, at times, can disrupt the opponent's rhythm.2. Recognize Shifts in Advantage:Pickleball rallies often begin in a neutral position, but the small shifts can quickly change the momentum of the game and help to win a point. It is equally important to maintain a calm composure on the court while shifting.3. Capitalise on Short Returns:Short returns can make or break a game. But what they do best is present excellent opportunities for powerful drives or drop shots. If a player can adjust the position to take advantage of short returns then it is possible to seize control of the point.4. Avoid the Dead Dink:Not many would know about the dead dink. It occurs when a ball lands in the middle without much speed or spin. This type of shot can be quite costly because it allows the opponent to seize control of the rally, putting pressure on the player.5. Keep an eye on Short Returns: When your opponent sends a short return, it presents you with a golden opportunity to seize control of the point. A short return creates an opening for you to execute aggressive third shots, whether it's a blistering drive or a deftly placed drop shot.Stay connected with all the latest news on Pickleball, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, tips, and inspiration you won't find anywhere else.
