Swipe through this one before you drop another two hundred bucks on a new paddle... I see this all the time. Your paddle did not suddenly become too poppy. Most of the time, the swing is simply too big for the part of the court you are standing in. The Paddle Runway is the fix: use a longer swing at the baseline, shorten it in transition, and keep almost no backswing at the kitchen. On fast balls, let the incoming pace do the work. Keep contact out front and your grip pressure loose. Fix the mechanics first and your wallet will thank you. #LimitlessPickleball #PickleballTips #PickleballCoach #PickleballDrills #PickleballLife
