SHOT BOX TIPS - Waist Down

(Q) Every shot in pickleball starts where?

(A) ) from the GROUND UP. Your FOOOTWORK is the key. What happens below a player’s waist will determine how a player strikes a pickleball. As important as your FOOTWORK is your FOOTWEAR. Make sure you are wearing tennis or pickleball shoes not running shoes or cross-trainers. The appropriate pickleball shoe will keep your joints and ankles healthy and keep you on the court having more fun. To learn more about quality pickleball shoes that will properly fit your foot visit Whirlaway Sports online and at their store. Ask for Chris or Dave.

See you at the NVL.
