Knowledge bomb 💣 incoming:

90% of your pickleball shot happens before you touch the ball. 3 simple things you can control without even touching a ball that impact the shot. 1.) Footwork 2.) Paddle Position and 3.) Posture. If you get those three things dialed in it’s pretty difficult to miss.

This was Megan and my 6th 🥇 gold this year, 11/12 (92%) medal rate this year, and our 11th Gold as a duo since last year…but who’s counting? 🤣

It was also my 6th medal in mixed this year with 8 different partners! Maybe one day I’ll find my Prince Charming 🤴 🤪

Playing with a lefty. Helpful or harmful? What do you think? #pickleball

[Jillian Braverman @jillybpb]

Thank you to APS for a great open event and shout out to my fellow #girls in the draw - Averry Chew and Madison Grollman. Thank you to my partner and fellow thrive player Alex Emery. His forehand drives and backhand twoey bounce speed ups are the stuff of legends. #pickleball

[Jillian Braverman @jillybpb]

4. Aim: don’t over complicate it. Start by aiming the poach cross court because it’s the most natural swing path. Master that first.

Or does it??? Here are they keys to great poaching: ⤵️

3. Recognition: either your partner is telling you to go or you’re reading the return quality or the third quality quickly.

[Jillian Braverman @jillybpb]

Same hobbies. Different levels.

Singles legend #chrishaworth joined the pod this week to discuss all things pickle, surviving 3 events a week, his close knit family, beating Ben and Fed, not losing for a year and who will be accepting the role of his new men’s dubs partner this year?

When to use it: I love this in mixed (either on forehand or backhand side) to hyper focus on getting the counter down and away from the opponent in front of you.

[Jillian Braverman @jillybpb]

Counters you need on lock part II #pickleball

[Jillian Braverman @jillybpb]

3. Twoey Slide
When to use it: if you can anticipate the attack and you have two handed backhand.
