Dominate with Precision: Approach Shots

In pickleball, mastering the approach shot can make all the difference in controlling the game. Here’s how:

Step 1: Recognize the Opportunity

Watch for your opponent’s weak returns or high balls. These are prime chances to move forward.

Step 2: Position Yourself

Move swiftly to the ball, aiming to contact it as early as possible. This keeps your opponent on their toes.

Step 3: Execute the Shot

Use a smooth, controlled stroke. Aim low and towards the opponent’s feet, limiting their response options.

Step 4: Follow Through

Immediately advance to the net, readying yourself for the next shot.

These steps ensure you approach with purpose, dominate play, and win more points. Practice this drill and watch your game transform!
