There are a lot of shot options on the pickleball court. Other than hitting a reactive block volley when your opponents hit a hard shot when all four players are at the Non-Volley Zone or Kitchen Line, consider trying a block volley when you are playing opponents that like to hit drives from the baseline without moving in to the Non-Volley Zone or Kitchen Line. If you can hit a block volley that lands on or before your opponents’ Non-Volley Zone or Kitchen Line, you may be able to catch your opponents sleeping at the baseline.

Key Takeaway:

1. Try the block volley when your opponents are driving the pickleball at you either from the Non-Volley Zone or Kitchen Line or from the baseline.
