Unlock Better Court Positioning
Good court positioning is crucial for enhancing your pickleball game. Here's a drill to help you improve:
- Partner Drill: Work with a partner where one starts at the baseline and the other at the Non-Volley Zone (NVZ).
- Baseline player: Hit deep shots to different parts of the court, focusing on consistency rather than power.
- NVZ player: Practice moving side-to-side, maintaining a ready position to intercept shots early.
- Switch roles: After every 2 minutes, switch roles to get a balanced practice.
- Review: Discuss what worked and areas for improvement. Repeat the drill, implementing feedback.
Apply this drill frequently, and see your court awareness and reaction time improve significantly.
Happy Pickling!
