Improve Your Split-Step Timing

Enhance Your Split-Step Timing

The split-step is a critical movement in pickleball, essential for quick reactions and powerful shots. Here's a concise drill to perfect it:

1. Position Yourself: Stand at the center of the baseline.
2. Partner's Input: Have your partner signal with a hand wave or verbal cue when to split-step.
3. Execution: The moment you see or hear the signal, perform a light hop, landing on the balls of your feet with knees slightly bent.
4. Quick Reaction: Immediately move towards an imaginary ball, focusing on quick and controlled steps.
5. Repeat: Practice this for 10 minutes daily, gradually increasing the speed of the cues.

This drill helps synchronize your brain and body, improving your ability to react swiftly during a real game.

Keep practicing and watch how your game improves!
