Refining Volley Accuracy

In pickleball, the volley is not just about power; it’s a precision game. Today, let’s focus on honing the accuracy of your volleys, a skill that can catch your opponent off guard and win points more effectively.

3-Step Plan to Accurate Volleys

• Paddle Angle: Ensure your paddle is perpendicular to the ground. This simple alignment can make a significant difference in directing the ball precisely.
• Steady Hold: Keep a firm yet relaxed grip. Tightness might cause misdirection while too loose a hold could make you lose control over your shots. Balance is key.
• Follow Through: Extend your arm fully after contact. This helps maintain both power and direction.

Set up targets during practice to gauge your improvement and make necessary adjustments. With consistent practice, those volleys will become sharp and precise!

Happy playing, and remember, accuracy prevents points from slipping away.
