Master the Return Drive Today!

The return drive is crucial in keeping your opponents on their toes. Here’s how to perfect it:

Positioning

Stay 3-4 feet behind the baseline to give yourself room to react. Bend your knees slightly to stay agile.

Focus on Contact

Ensure the paddle face is open and aim to contact the ball at its highest point. This will give you control and depth.

Follow Through

Maintain a smooth follow-through in the direction you want the ball to go. This guarantees both power and accuracy.

Practice Drill

Set up cones at the opposite baseline. Aim to hit returns just inside the cones for improved accuracy.

By focusing on these fundamentals, you’ll see immediate improvement.

Happy Pickling!
