  1. Using the Right Fourth Shot! 🎯 ⭐️ Ball below the net: Concede the net—don’t give away a free point! Stay in the rally and earn your way back to the kitchen. Hit this ball soft, crosscourt, and into the kitchen. ⭐️ Ball at net height: Roll it! Use topspin and aim at your opponent’s feet. Stay semi-aggressive by forcing them to hit one more reset. Don’t try to blast it—spin is more important than pace here. ⭐️ Ball above the net: Destroy it! Hit aggressively down through the ball. This is a put-away opportunity, so pace matters more than spin. Finish the point when you get the chance. ….. #pickleball #pickleballislife #pickleballtips #pickleballstrategy #pickleballcoach

  2. No more Chopping 🪵! ⭐️ When you hit slice dinks, get your paddle below the ball before you start your swing! ⭐️ We don’t want to hit it like a tennis slice where we swing high to low. That sends the ball too deep and makes it harder to control. ⭐️ Remember, the dink is a soft shot. Focus on pushing the ball and adding a little slice rather than trying to cut it hard. ….. #pickleballislife #pickleball #pickleballtips #pickleballcoaching #propickleball

  3. Become an expert dinker! 🥒 ⭐️ Slice to Slice: This is the foundation of great dinking. Slice dinks build control and consistency, helping you keep the ball in play. They won’t create as much pressure as a roll, but they’re the base every player needs. ⭐️ Roll to Slice: One player rolls every dink while the other only slices. The roller’s job is to create pressure, while the slicer learns to absorb that pressure and stay consistent. Switch roles after a few minutes. ⭐️ Reach or Short Hop: One player rolls dinks, and the other looks to take them out of the air whenever possible. If you can’t reach it, short hop the ball instead. This drill teaches you how to apply pressure without giving away unnecessary dink errors. ….. #pickleball #pickleballislife #pickleballtips #pickleballcoaching #propickleball

  2. The goal has been set. When you’re preparing for a tournament, you don’t just practice what you’re already good at-you target the gaps. @iamjamiefoxx and I identified his return as a major area of need, so we broke the process down from the ground up. We focused heavily on the mechanics of the return itself: loading the legs and intentionally pushing through the ball, rather than just slapping at it. From there, it’s about the transition—using that forward momentum to follow the flight of the ball straight to the kitchen line. To make the muscle memory stick, we wrapped up with a match-like sequence to finish the drill. Simulating that real-game pressure is what bridges the gap between practice and tournament day. The work is getting real. 📈 🎥: @chance.mitchelll

  2. A pic of Ashley, me, Big Al & Julian. If you haven’t heard, Big Al passed away. He was such a teddy bear- always smiling and happy in every room he walked in. He brought that feel good energy to his Good Day segments. He loved meeting people and getting to know viewers. I know he loved being on TV and radio. In my mind, I can picture Big Al grinning from ear to ear, walking his walk into a beautiful heaven, his favorite R&B music playing, turning to God and saying “Stop playin!” Rest in peace Al. You’ll be missed. Visit @bigalsams for more pics.

  2. When should you move forward?🏃🏻‍♀️💨 🟩 Zone = Below waist + they’re hitting up → Move forward aggressively 🟨 Zone = Chest height + swinging forward → Move up cautiously (ready to reset) 🟥 Zone = Above shoulder + swinging down → Stay back, ready to defend or hit another drop/drive This is a general guide — the exact zones can shift depending on your opponents’ level. But these three zones will help you make smarter decisions on the pickleball court.
