Today we introduce the Hydra Defense™, an original strategy for guarding against cross-court speed ups. We analyze different defensive methods for pickleball players on the left and right side of the court, adopting a forehand or backhand 'shield' depending on their position and the context of the game. We also provide insights about paddle positioning, stance and visualization techniques during the game. Let's "beta test" this together...we'd love to hear your feedback.
