Ditch the slice drive. Try the roll drop instead 💪

It’s time for a shot upgrade.

I’m going to jump into a lot of tips this week about paddle positioning, so I thought we should start here! 

Notice my “ready position” adjusts as I move up the court. Who knows why?? 

I’ll update my caption with the answer in a few days. Until then…let’s test your knowledge. Drop your answer in the comments!👇

Also becuase I know I’ll get a lot of questions on my dress. It’s @halara_official! Use CALLIE15OFF to save at checkout! 💗

Want to know a secret? 🤫

A successful punch volley doesn’t involve a big, out-of-control backswing.

🔑 The key to a great punch volley is keeping your swing compact and tight in front of your body! This gives you both power and control.

Should I share a side-by-side comparison? Let me know!

Are you guilty of having a lazy paddle between shots?

Meaning… do you leave your paddle wherever you last made contact with the ball?

If so, don’t worry—I’ve got you!

Bringing your paddle back to a neutral or ready position between shots can drastically improve your reaction time and overall game. So how do you get better at this? Keep reading—I’ll spill the tea!👇

Whenever I see someone with a lazy paddle, I tell them to over-exaggerate the movement by touching their paddle with their non-dominant hand between every shot.

Are you giving this a try? Let me know!

Happy Monday!

Here’s a quick tip to help start your pickleball week off strong! 

Are you standing flat footed when you drive the ball? If so, you’re not only missing out on SO much power, but you’re also putting yourself in a bad spot for your next shot. 

So do this instead 👇

Turn sideways when you drive a ball and use your hips and legs to help give your shot that power it needs to be a dangerous shot rather than a kill shot on a platter. And the extra bonus behind doing this is that you’ll be in position to move to your next shot and get forward faster! 

SAVE this video for later, when you (or your partner 😉) needs the reminder.

Lobs can be a really great tool IF you execute them correctly! If you’re lobbing the ball with no target in mind, you’re probably going to get a ball slammed back on you or your partner. 

So instead, one great option for lobbing is to target over the non-dominant shoulder of your opponent so they have to turn and going around the ball for the return. 

Who’s a fan of lobs?

If you’re wanting to improve your block volleys watch this! 

Notice a difference? It’s subtle, but makes a huge difference. Notice how in the first example I’m…

❌ Pulling my paddle up from a non-ready position (lazy paddle 🙈)
❌ Resting my paddle on my body 

In the correct (2nd) example, I’m…

✅ Preparing for the shot from a ready position 
✅ Making contact with the ball in front of my body (paddle isn’t resting on my chest) 
✅ Holding my paddle at a slight angle instead of flat in my body

Are you doing block volleys correctly?

I have bad news…

Popping up a dink (from you or your partner) is inevitable, BUT it doesn’t always have to be a death sentence! 

If your dink is too high, your first instinct should be to step back off the line. Can you spot the difference in my two examples?

The difference is subtle. But if you want to go from good ➡️ great, start focusing on absorbing your opponent’s shots on a block volley!

At the pro level we are seeing more punch volleys than block volleys, but there is definitely still a place for them in the game. If you’re wanting to slow the game down a bit, or get you and your partner back into position, it’s a great tool. How often are you using a block volley in your game?

Watch this video....what mistake do you think I am referring to??

Not sure? Watch again.

The answer: A LAZY PADDLE! 🗣 THE BEST PLAYERS ALWAYS HAVE THEIR PADDLES IN A READY POSITION! 

Pickleball is becoming such a fast pace sport. Lazy paddles will cost you because every second counts as you start competing at a higher level.

Did you notice the difference right away? Or is this something you need to work on?

🚨 Common Mistake Alert! 🚨

One of the biggest mistakes players make when executing a block volley is trying to do too much! ❌ Instead of absorbing the pace, they tense up, swing, or push the ball, which often leads to pop-ups or mishits.

✅ Here’s how to fix it:
👉 Relax your grip—a softer hold helps absorb the pace.
👉 Get your elbows up—this helps you stay stable and absorb the shot instead of pushing it.
👉 Use a slight paddle angle—tilting your paddle just enough can help control the ball and keep it from popping up or going into the net!

Master this, and you’ll be neutralizing attacks like a pro! 😎What’s your biggest struggle with block volleys? Tell me in the comments! ⬇️
•
•**keep in mind that this is NOT the same shot as a counter volley, or punch volley!!!!
