The Importance of Striking the Ball in Front of You

The Importance of Striking the Ball in Front of You 

One of the fundamental principles of balance in pickleball is striking the ball in front of you. This ensures you stay on the balls of your feet and keep your lower body engaged. When the ball is behind you or off to the side, you may find yourself reaching, which compromises your balance and control. 

Tips to Remember: 

- Position Yourself: Always aim to strike the ball in your strike zone in front of you. 

- Maintain Alignment: Use your legs and core to generate power and keep your shots controlled. 

- Avoid Reaching: Stretching to hit the ball can lead to less effective shots. 

By focusing on hitting the ball in front of you, you can improve your balance and overall shot-making ability.
