Return Pickleball Serves Like a Pro by Using the 3 T’s! Target, Technique, and Timing!

 

1. 00:00 🎯 The 3 T's of service returns are Target, Technique, and Timing. Mastering them will help you win more points.

2. 00:54 💡 Returning down the middle gives more margin for error than crosscourt returns. It also keeps opponents deep.

3. 01:38 🎾 Even against hard serves, compact swings and hitting flat can improve accuracy and consistency.

4. 02:27 📈 Focus on depth over power. Arcing returns higher can help get balls deeper despite less pace.

5. 04:17 💨 Start returns a few feet back, step in on serve, and swing through contact to generate power and quickness forward.

6. 04:43 🏃‍♂️ Serve, return, and third shot form a race to the kitchen. Good returns position you closer to gaining control.

7. 05:53 🎯 Practicing returns against speed and spin prepares you to handle different servers' pace and placement.

8. 06:48 🧠 Reviewing match footage with a coach can provide personalized feedback to keep improving.
