If you find yourself hitting into the net a lot—whether it’s on your volleys or during dink exchanges—this one simple tip can make a big difference across your entire game.
Think about where your paddle finishes after you hit the ball. I want my paddle to finish above the net. That’s it. It’s a simple visual, but it’s incredibly effective.
If your paddle finishes below the net, especially on a volley, there’s a really good chance that ball is going straight into the net. It’s not just about contact point—it’s about where the motion finishes.

Hint: It’s Not Your Arms. Let’s clear this up right away—power doesn’t come from your hands or arms. Swinging harder doesn’t automatically mean you’re hitting faster, stronger, or better. In fact, that mindset often does more harm than good. In pickleball, we separate power and control by the body:Power comes
Disguising Your Shot: The Power of Direction Change
March 18, 2025
Last week, we talked about cutting off the corners to create a more offensive dink. Now, let’s take that concept a step further—redirecting the ball to control the point. Why Does This Matter? The more I move my opponent, rather than moving myself, the more control I have. The goal

Hey everyone, Sarah Ansboury here! Let’s talk about offensive dinking and how better positioning can help you take control at the net. One of the biggest mistakes I see players make is getting too square to the net, which leads to poor contact points and unnecessary movement. The Problem with
