PICKLEBALL TIP
From: Kevin Cretella, The Director of Racquet Sports
“Reading Pickleball Spins”
As a Pickleball is traveling towards you, pay close attention to the direction in which the holes on the ball are rotating. If the holes are rotating forwards, the ball will jump with an upward and forward trajectory towards you. If the holes are rotating backwards, the ball will either stall upon its bounce or skip like a flat rock on water with a low trajectory towards you. Try this out next time you play pickleball and you will have a much better time anticipating whether you should move for- ward or backward to contact the ball at the appropriate height and hit a great groundstroke.
