Before you start working on any return of serve drills, consider placing targets on the pickleball court for you to hit. These targets can be cones, sidewalk chalk lines, or even your water bottle. Place your targets deep, down the middle of the pickleball court, to your opponents’ backhand area, and two to three feet within the inside of the lines on the pickleball court.
Now, grab a partner or a friend that wants to work on his or her serve. Practice your technique and placement on your return of serve by hitting your partner’s or friend’s serves. Perfect your return of serve, which can make your opponents’ critical third shot even more difficult for them.
Key Takeaway:
1. Drill, drill, drill and return, return, return to master the second shot in every rally, the return of serve.
