Imagine you are in a pushing match with someone. Your strongest pushing position would be an athletic position with your arms slightly bent, pushing out in front of your body. In contrast, a weaker pushing position would be one with your arms near your shoulders or behind you.

Similar to your strongest pushing position, your strongest pickleball striking position is out in front of your body. To get more power behind your volleys, make sure you are striking the pickleball out in front of your body.

Key Takeaways:

1. Hit your volleys with a contact point out in front of your body.

2. Remember to engage your legs and to use proper mechanics to help generate power, too.
