How to improve your pickleball game?

We all love the game, and in fact, the more we play, the better we get.

To start improving our game we first need to know the rules of the game, how to serve, staying out of the kitchen, and other basic and essential techniques.

It takes time to learn those difficult shots, such as, low returns at your opponent's feet, and drop shots.

Working with your partner to coordinate shots it's important, once we have a good grip on the game, the most important factor in our opinion is confidence, you already know you have what it takes to compete with your teammates, so focus on each play with confidence, connect with the returning ball and like a hawk, your reflexes should handle the rest.

Why is There a "Pickle" in Pickleball?

There is some controversy as to the word “pickle” in pickleball, it is generally accepted that in the summer of 1965, pickleball was founded by Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum on Bainbridge Island, Washington. Shortly thereafter, Joan Pritchard, the wife of Joel had come up with the name “pickleball”, associating it with the thrown-together leftover non-starters in the “pickle boat” of crew races. However, years later, as the sport of pickleball grew in popularity, there was some controversy when neighbors of the Pritchard family said they were present when Joan Pritchard named the game after their dog, Pickles. Nevertheless, the Pritchard family including Joan has remained steadfast for decades that the dog “Pickles” joined the family a few years after and in fact named after the pickleball game.  So, it seems the name "pickleball" is associated with the thrown-together leftover non-starters in the “pickle boat” of crew races.

What is Body Bagging in Pickleball?

What is Body bagging in pickleball?  A pickleball tactic known as body bagging involves hitting an opponent in the body with a ball that has accelerated off the bounce. It's regarded as pickleball's most deceptive tactic. Some argue that body bagging is not suitable for every game and that open-court play should prohibit targeting an opponent above the shoulder. They also say that continued body-bagging can make pickleball less accessible to new players.

How long does a pickleball ball last?

 Life of a pickleball.  The durability and longevity of pickleball balls varies from brand to brand and how often you play. Some say outdoor pickleballs should be replaced in 3 to 10 games depending on how often you place, others say about 100 hours. Rule of thumb, if the ball starts to show cracks and loses its bounce, it's time to replace the ball.
