USA Pickleball Went NASCAR Racing |
|
Like so many new players, the #99 Ford Truck racing in USA Pickleball trim came on aggressive and impatient but faded for an 11th place finish. And like so many of us, it also managed to run into a few others in the process.

Conventional Wisdom Having An Impact On Your Game? |
|
The centerline in pickleball has only two functions:
- It's part of the Service Court.
- It is regularly the source of real estate arguments between partners.
Many of us have been conditioned to think of the centerline as a "No Trespassing!" sign. In doing so we slowly but surely abandon it, losing the opportunity of hitting an easy winner or blunting an opponent's momentum.
As an alternative, try going against your instincts. Play the ball, not the line. Move directionally in sync with your partner. Place your shots in the opponents' gaps (gaps don't have paddles.)
