Listen now
Description
In this episode of '4.0 to Pro', we share strategies on handling a slice return serve.  They help you navigate through options A and B which involve a deep impactful serve or a traditional third shot drop. The hosts also present an alternative 'option C' for when these strategies prove difficult, which is to play a conservative medium-paced line drive prompting the opponent to volley with more difficulty. An 'option D' is also proposed which involves utilizing serve location strategies to disarm an opponent's best slice return. The hosts further stress recognition of slice spins early in play and practicing serve location accuracy. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:30 Upcoming Pro Tour and New Partners 01:20 Importance of Eye Protection in Pickleball 02:21 Handling Slice Return of Serve 03:34 Exploring Options A and B 06:20 Understanding the Impact of Slice on the Ball 10:05 Introducing Option C 18:52 The Importance of Serve Practice 21:27 Summing Up and Conclusion Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/4.0_to_Pro
