Scott Pickleball & Art

Great illustration of when to contact the ball on its path for different shots. Thanks Mark.

Have you ever played pickleball with a partner who refuses to move up to the non-volley zone? It’s one of the most common frustrations in recreational pickleball play.

Before you jump into offering advice, it's important to figure out WHY they are staying back. Chances are, they fall under one of these categories:

😬 They don't understand the strategy of coming to the net
🫣 It's a habit
😵‍💫 They're overwhelmed by advice
😳 They fear the lob
👟 They lack speed
😱 Fear of the hard-hit shot

It's easy to get frustrated with your partner who tends to stay back. But instead of quick fixes, take the time to under their reasoning and guide them toward a better strategy. We offer advice on all the situations above and more in today's blog ⬇️
