How to be a Right Side KING or QUEEN | The Pickleball Breakdown Ep. 11

1 hour 9 minutes

The prototypical right side role is changing and if you want to keep up with the game then you better as well. And if you love the left and don’t think it’s important to learn the right, then you are dead wrong. Don’t miss Scott & Jill breaking down the new school right side mentality, the best attacks from the right, and how to counter like a pro. We’ll also share our lists for top 3 male and female right side players in the game.

We answer the burning questions:

1.) Why do we see so many cross court dinking patterns?

2.) Which balls should you counter vs rest?

3.) How do we get our counters down?

4.) How do we funnel the ball to our left side partner?

5.) What is the hardest shot on the right and how to master it?
