Pickleball is a fun, social game for all ages. Pickleball combines elements from tennis, badminton and pingpong and can be played indoors and outdoors. There are several things you need to know, whether you're a beginner or an expert.
The first thing you'll need to know is how to play pickleball. You don't have to own expensive equipment or be an experienced tennis player. All you need to play is a paddle, court, and a partner. It takes just five minutes to get started.
You can use either a small, plastic, with holes, or a large, oversized, ping-pong paddle to get started. A paddle made of graphite or wood should be a weight that matches your skill level.
Next, you will need to know how to hit. For instance, if you've got a great forehand drive, you'll need to use it on your backhand. As you will be hitting the ball overhead, this helps you to have maximum control. Another option is to hit it up to opponents, if possible, if lobbying is your forte.
The return of serve is your second shot. You should not be aggressive with your shot. Instead, play a soft, low shot from the Non-Volley Zone. A point is awarded for hitting the ball in this zone. Poor shots will result in a "dink", a penalty that is when the ball barely touches the net.
You can also solve some of the snags in the game by shooting down the middle. This will make it easier for your opponents to not attack the ball. Hitting down the middle allows you to have a better angle which will enable you to hit more shots.
The most important tip for pickingleball is to not let your opponent get on your nerves. While it may sound simple, it's actually more difficult than most players think. First, it is important to learn how to communicate and coordinate with your partner. You should also be able to identify patterns in play. Finally, patience is essential.
Finally, you'll need to know the rules of the game. These include how to serve, how to volley, and how to lob and drop. The Pickleball Guide has more information. This digital download includes a guide to pickleball along with illustrations and photos to help you learn. Instructional videos are also included to assist you in learning the game.
Additionally, you'll need to be able to hit the ball and communicate with your opponent. This is particularly important if your opponent is playing in doubles tournaments. Keep in mind that your partners are more experienced and may have more experience than yourself.
