Paddle Grip

The paddle tap is an awesome part of pickleball sportsmanship. Jim and Yvonne Hackenberg take it up a notch with their Rule: they always share a moment of physical contact (a hand tap, arm tap, something) between each point. Whether they hit a winner or make a mistake in play, they touch.

It is a great way to defuse the tension that is natural in any competitive sport, made more so when you are playing with your significant other.

Give the Hackenberg Rule a try. And next time you see Jim or Yvonne, express our gratitude for their contribution to the sport.

You need to move with the point in order to be in the best place for the next shot. In this video, we look at Eddie's movement and show you how moving independent of the point can create difficulties for you.

This is part of our series with our friend Eddie Adkins as we working to help Eddie become a benchmark 4.0 player. Links to earlier videos are below.

Don't switch hands while you play! This is the advice most often heard on the courts. BUT - is it the right advice?

In this video we give you our perspective about whether to switch hands or no. Let us know what you think.

Good luck out there.

The flick lob can be a good defensive tool in pickleball. It can help you defend against a wide dink that puts you in a tough spot. This is not an easy pickleball shot but once you master it you can use it to turn a defensive position into an offensive shot. Improving your pickleball game.

Flick Lob – quick tip

Too many motions with your stroke can, and often does, lead to unforced errors in your game. Simplifying your stroke mechanics will reduce these errors.


This is Video 2 of our analysis of our friend Eddie Adkins' game as we working to help Eddie become a benchmark 4.0 player. In this video we break down Eddie's stroke mechanics so that he can reduce errors along his path to 4.0.

Want to see traditional pickleball mixed doubles strategy - with a small twist because I am lefthanded? Then check out this solid pickleball match from the 2023 Mintos US Open in Naples, Florida. Good pickleball strategy, mid-game adjustments, and pickleball competition in this match.

I have played a lot of tournament Mixed Doubles. First with my wife, Jill, and since I turned 50 (still waiting for Jill ), with several amazing partners. You can say I know something about playing mixed doubles. And it is definitely a bit different than gender doubles.

Players are often curious about the strategies that pertain specifically to mixed doubles. Strategies like:

o Stacking, including staying and switching, and partial stack formations
o The middle squeeze of the court by the male player
o The counter-strategy of hitting behind the squeezing male player
o Communication and shot responsibility

The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words must mean that a video is worth a billion words. To help you understand mixed doubles strategy, this week’s video on YouTube is a solid pickleball back draw match from the 2023 Mintos US Open in Naples, Florida between Tony Roig and Leslie Bernard versus Lance Cowart and Rachelle Mulanax.

In addition to the mixed doubles strategy, this match has some great examples of defense from different parts of the court (stress resistance anyone?) as well as various attack shots (you know it: stress imparting).

You can watch the entire match or click on the time segment for the area of the game you you want to see. Or you can do both if you want to get it all and then focus on a part of the strategy used.

These timestamps are to the beginning of the rally, except where I am showing a specific item:

:40 This rally shows the importance of knowing who is responsible for the shot. Lance and Rachelle got their signals mixed, resulting in a easy point awarded to us.
2:14 My paltry excuse for a paddle tap, which I corrected shortly thereafter. Cannot stress enough the importance of this aspect of pickleball doubles play.
2:22 The role of the male player in squeezing the middle and making life uncomfortable for their opponents.
3:32 Hitting behind the male player to make him “stay home” more
3:56 Poach gone wrong – how NOT TO recover in time - yikes!
4:09 Hitting behind the male player to make him “stay home” more
5:06 Hitting behind the male player to make him “stay home” more
6:44 How to execute a stack switch on return of serve (particularly when they scored the last 2 points when you were in the other formation)
10:17 Pretty sick baseline defense – just grinding out a pickleball point
11:55 (Two rallies). ¼ return of serve stack. We were stacking ¾ for much of the match.
12:45 Good shake and bake (but a small NVZ fault)
14:16 “I” Formation play with a disruptive player in front and great defense behind
15:54 Poach gone right (for the most part)
16:11 Lob defense in mixed doubles – important stuff
16:24 Hitting behind the male player to make him “stay home” more
16:54 Non-Volley Zone Lob Attack
17:47 disciplined play by Leslie (leftside nearest to camera) – sticking with what you want to do the whole rally
18:15 Offensive timeout – don’t only use them defensively
19:54 Attack shot
20:58 How to attack a stack unwind
21:34 Imparting pickleball stress on your opponent
22:03 The role of the male player in squeezing the middle and making life uncomfortable for their opponents.

Mixed Doubles Pickleball Strategy Extravaganza

These sorts of matches are great tests. One team is ahead for a bit. Then the other team surges back. A tug of war ensues where each team is doing its best to pull the match across the net in its favor.

But, alas, in every sport (and pickleball is no exception) only one team can win the contest. Check out this awesome battle between 4 determined players giving their all.

Work to prevent pickleball injuries. Let's avoid that tennis elbow or golfers elbow from creeping into our arm. The forearm is a good place to focus some time - minimize elbow pain by having a stronger arm.

In this video series we give you some basic strengthening exercises aimed at pickleball that you can do at home.

NOTE - we are pickleball professionals - not medical professionals. We do not offer any medical advice or guidance. These are suggestions based on things that have worked for me in the past. If you are unsure as to whether you should do any of the exercises or movements in this video, consult your physician.

Moving is key to Advanced Pickleball Play | Learn this approach and play better pickleball

This video is all about the Pickleball strategy. This video is not for the mildly interested pickleball fan. It is for the true pickleball addict who wants to learn everything that there is to know about pickleball.

This is a deep dive. We break down one of the most viewed pickleball matches (somewhere around 79,000 at last count) on Frank Anthony Davis’ channel. It is a 5.0 men’s final match between Frank Anthony Davis and Rob Cassidy vs. Tommy Boyette and Eric White. We are going to look at several strategic considerations. The “X,” respecting the middle, shaping balls, and more. This is a deep dive and is not a quick watch. Lots of strategic concepts in there so let’s get in2 it.

Thank you to FAD for allowing us to use the video.
