Dominate with a Power Serve!
Increase serve speed and precision to control the game.
Hello Pickleball Enthusiasts!
Today, let's supercharge your game by focusing on your power serve. A powerful serve can put your opponents on the back foot immediately.
Here’s a drill to enhance your power serve:
- Stance and Grip: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold your paddle loosely to allow a fast, powerful swing.
- Backswing: Bring your paddle back while rotating your shoulders and loading weight on your back foot.
- Contact Point: As you swing forward, transfer your weight to your front foot and aim to hit the ball at waist height in front of your body.
- Follow-Through: Extend your arm fully through the ball to generate maximum power.
- Practice With Targets: Place cones or markers in different areas of the service box. Aim to hit your targets consistently to improve precision and control.
Give this power serve drill a go and watch as it transforms your matches!
Your pickler friend,
