Throughout your journey as a pickleball player, you may find yourself sending your shot over to you opponents side higher than you would like, more frequently than you would like. That’s not ideal because the higher you send the ball over to the other side, the more likely you are to be attacked. Especially if your opponents are further up in the court.
What separates a great pickleball player from the rest is their ability to keep the ball low at key moments and on demand. Keeping the ball low makes it more challenging for your opponent to make successful aggressive plays against you.
Today, we’re going to look at 7 key ways to keep the ball low in pickleball

30.07.2023What kind of paddle is being used in the first example of ‘dinks’ for the red shirted team? I’ve been looking for that paddle for awhile now.
Thank you!

30.07.2023Hi, Nicole! I’m really enjoying these lessons! Thank you! I’m just starting to figure out spins, both receiving and delivering them. I played with a player that spins the ball so that it literally drops and dies by the time it lands on the other side of the net. It’s a really frustrating shot being on the receiving end, lol! What kind of spin is it? Do you have a video explaining the different spins and what they do? One spin bounces away from you and another towards you. I don’t know how to read the opponent’s paddle to know what to expect when it lands. I think I also need a video on how to read the opponent’s paddle, but I’m playing with three players that are a higher level than me and they all spin the ball. Thank you!

30.07.2023Hey Nicole, who is the lady with her back to the camera in a black n white skirt and with brown ponytail? Notice her wrist action as she hits a rather good looking slice backhand return. Do you have a video detailing how to hit that shot? My slice backhand has much more sidespin and I am envious of her shot. 🙂

Brian Geissinger
30.07.2023Thank you. So much good information. 7 ways to keep it low- yes! Well covered! I will repeat watch this from time-to-time. Just slamming the ball won't get it, as you begin playing more advanced players. They can handle those fast balls and put you on the defense, especially, when they are hit to them even just slightly above the net height. They'll turn the table on you. Yep, keep em low and unatackeable.

27.07.2023Fun game but dumb names and scoring. Makes sense keep your pickle out of the kitchen. Also totally makes sense to have the player number in with the score.
CR Mannino
27.07.2023New here and enjoyed your teaching. Why when I hit 3SD, it still gets aggressively hit back at me?
