RACQUET SPORTS TIP
From: Kevin Cretella, The Director of Racquet Sports
“Down the Middle Solves the Riddle”
If you’re not sure where to direct the ball when playing pickleball, remember the mantra “Down the Middle Solves the Riddle”. Hit the ball low and to the middle of the court. This will result in your opponent’s hitting the ball in an upwards trajectory without many angles to work with and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to put the ball away. Try this out this month and let me know how it works for you!
FUN FACT!
The fastest tennis serve ever recorded is 163.4 mph. The serve was hit by Australian Men’s ATP Player, Sam Groth, in 2012 at the Busan Open Tennis Challenger Tournament.
