TENNIS TIP: Add more shots to your game

Stay ready!

Take your game to the next level by adding slice and drop volleys to your arsenal. The most common complaint we hear from net players is the fear of being lobbed. By adding slice to your groundstrokes and drop volleys to your net game, you are sure to make your opponent run rather than you doing all the running! Go see Patrick and Mike to find out how to hit these important shots.

PICKLEBALL TIP:

Pickleball is a fast-paced sport — it can go from a slow dink rally to rapid fire volleying at any moment. That’s why it’s important to stay engaged in the point and keep your paddle up and ready, especially around the kitchen. There are several variations on the paddle ready position so you’ll have to experiment and see what works for you. However, the key points are the same: • Keep your knees bent and back straight • Hold you paddle at roughly chest height • Make sure your paddle is out in front of your body rather than tucked in
