Enhancing your serve…

How is your serve, are you confident when you serve, or perhaps a bit nervous?  The serve is one of the best opportunities we have in controlling the game and rattling your opponent.

We all remember when we started to play this game, our serve was a soft hit over the net without a second thought, not difficult at all for your opponent, that has changed, and advanced players realize that a well-positioned serve can have advantages throughout the game.

How can we improve our serve?

As amateurs, we also can learn the techniques of serving in a way that can make it difficult for our opponent.

A good example is serving the ball fast, right over the kitchen at the baseline of the court, of course, the opponent will adjust quickly if this is the only serve you focus on, so you need to mix it up, another good serve is a short low serve or deep right at your opponent's feet.

It takes practice, in our community we are all amateurs, but competitive, we take about 15-20 minutes before we start a match to practice our serve, rotating players one by one, each practicing their own serving technique.  Within a few days, you notice the improvement of each player.

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.

What is Stacking in Pickleball?

In pickleball, the term "Stacking" describes a doubles strategy in which both players on a team line up on the same side of the court before a serve or return, enabling them to switch to their preferred side following the initial hit quickly. This is typically done to maximize their strengths and play from their dominant side throughout the point; normally, this means that one player stays primarily on the left side and the other on the right, regardless of who is serving or receiving.
