Rules & strategies
It can be difficult for beginners to understand the rules of pickleball. It's not impossible to learn the rules with some patience and practice.
Rule #1: Keep Your Paddle at the Non-Volley Line
Pickleball requires that you keep your paddle on the non-volleyline when you are hitting a volley. If your paddle touches the net or goes outside of the non-volley zone, it's considered a fault and you'll lose a point.
Rule #2 Use deep serves
This strategy gives you an advantage over your opponent. Deep serves launch the ball farther into the service box, which forces your opponent to move past their baseline and increase their return distance.
If you want to beat your opponents with a deep serve, try hitting it to their backhand. Most players' backhands are weaker than forehands.
Rules & strategies
1. Do not over-arch your back
If you want to improve your pickleball game, you should maintain a strong athletic stance. This stance will require you to align your shoulders, hips, and knees properly so that you are able to move powerfully and freely.
2. You don't need to be fancy with your shots
Beginners tend to try and get too fancy when it comes to their shots and spinning, which can lead them to make mistakes or cause other problems. While fancy shots and spins can be fun, it's better to focus on the basic technique that will allow you to win more games and beat your opponent.
3. Use down-the-Middle shots
Increasing your winning percentage can be achieved by making down-the mid-shots. It's an effective way to get your opponent into trouble and buy yourself time, or give your teammates a boost.
4. Learn how to drop your shots
A drop shot, which is one of the most fundamental shots in pickleball, can be extremely beneficial to your game. It is particularly effective in doubles as it can change the odds to your advantage.
A good drop shot must be perfected first before it can be effectively used in game situations. You can practice your drop shot by doing a variety of drills.
