There are a lot of ways we can up our pickleball game.  We can work on our speed, or practice our aim, or improve our reaction time. However, to gain that edge in our matches, we sometimes need to look outside of our physical play and improve our strategy.

In this week’s video pro player Lucy Kovalova shares with us one of the ways she approaches the game. Instead of focusing on your strengths, it can be helpful to analyze your opponent’s game to find weaknesses you can exploit.  Maybe they always dink cross-court, or perhaps one of your opponents has trouble returning a hard hit volley at the net.

Finding those holes in their game may be just what you need to take home the win. So remember, study your opponent, adjust your strategy, and win more games.

Do you have a tip that you think should be made into a video?  Let us know if the comments below.

Special thanks to Lucy Kovalova, Matt Wright, Tony Swantek, Patrick Smith, and the Wichita Country Club for their help in bringing this quick tip to life.
