Ep 64: What counts as good pickleball technique?
One of the great things about pickleball is how easy it is to start playing. Even without a strong racquet sport background, new players can have fun almost immediately after hitting the court.
This low barrier to entry also means that we see pretty wide variations of technique (i.e. how people use their body and paddle). Drop in on your local courts and you'll see a plethora of different grips people use to hold their paddle. You'll see some people prepare for the ball in a sideways position and others who are almost always facing forward. You'll notice some players using two hands on their backhands and others who only use one.
And the thing is, even with these different approaches to technique, players can be seen to be having fun and success on the court. So this naturally leads to the question: what counts as 'good' technique?
