Thank you so much for your advice. I began my pickleball journey a few days ago. I'm73 and this is awesome. I played a little tennis in my days, but I have played hours and hours of ping pong. It seems to me that many of the skills relating to pickleball come more from my table tennis experience than the tennis I've played. I'm sure it's just the opposite for experienced tennis players. Anyway, I'm certainly glad I finally got into this sport. I'll be checking you out for more advice in the days to come. Thanks' again!

I’ve only been taking lessons & playing a month. Your demo about methodically getting up to the kitchen and why it’s important finally taught me why it’s important and showed me how it’s easily accomplished. It also got a lot out of why it’s important not to creep forward from the service line when waiting for the service return shot. I made that mistake twice in my last doubles game! Now I understand why I need to stay put! Great video-thanks!

Agree on all of these but also a very common mistake is not learning the proper way to serve to begin with. There are a lot people who teach themselves how to play and never learn the actual rule on serving. It is a pet peeve of mine when I see illegal serves, particularly by players who think they are awesome because they can serve hard when what they are doing is serving illegally.

so I had my first instruction into PB today and the instructor told us all...once you serve RUN to the kitchen line. AFter 3 balls got lobbed back behind me, I pulled him aside to ask him if I really need to be at the kitchen line after I serve...(my instinct was to do what you were doing and hold back for a harder hit) and he said "75% of the game is played at the kitchen line, if you want to be a 25% winner than stay back" It was against all my instinct but I played at the kitchen line, after serving, and had ball after ball hit behind me. I'm not going to do that anymore.... of course after the 3rd shot I see the point but not before. I think he has this wrong. Thanks for some good info.

Great tips. One of the most common mistakes I see is trying to hit the overhand smash too hard. If that ball is floating over your head but within reach it is so tempting to hit it as hard as you can but I see beginners whiffing or hitting it long so often. Cutting back the speed in order to control it will get you a lot of points especially since people tend to flinch anyway when the see you are in a position to smash it.

It is also possible that 'the middle' is the forehand for both players if the one on the right is left-handed (and one on the left is right-handed). And possible that the middle is not forehand for either player.
