Discover the Perfect Racket Grip: Improve Your Pickleball Game - Pickleball Fundamentals
Introduction
In this first article on the fundamentals of pickleball, we will discuss the crucial importance of racket taking. A good plug can transform your game and give you a considerable advantage on the field.
The importance of taking
Pickleball is a quick game and the actions take place quickly on the ground. An unsuitable grip or having to constantly change the plug can cause many problems. The players come from various sports horizons, and some have no training in tennis. They can therefore hold the racket incorrectly, which can become a habit difficult to correct. Fortunately, in pickleball, only one socket can be enough for all blows: continental taking.
Continental taking
To get the continental socket, take your racket and slide your hand along the handle, then tighten the racket as if you were shaking with someone or as if you were holding a hammer. This socket is ideal for all types of blows: services, stolen, backhand and forehands.
Although some professional players use unconventional sockets successfully, continental taking remains the most effective for most players. Current problems with incorrect sockets include difficulty hitting the fly-to-blow flyers and ineffective wipers type.
The sockets to be avoided
The catch is
This socket is often too oriented towards the reverse, which makes the flights in the forehand very difficult. Players using this socket will tend to strike mainly in reverse, which limits their effectiveness on the court.
The west socket
This socket, where the hand is even more turned, is commonly used by players with solid tennis training. However, it is difficult to master for beginners in pickleball and those seeking to improve their regularity. The face of the racket often arrives too closed, which leads to bullets sent to the net.
Tips for better catch
To correct a bad plug, it is essential to remember to always "shake hands" your racket. This will help you maintain a continental catch, thus facilitating the forehand and reverse. By regularly practicing with this catch, you will gain confidence and skill on the court.
Conclusion
Mastering snowshoeing is a fundamental aspect to raise your pickleball game. By adopting the continental taking, you will be better prepared for all types of blows and you will reduce current errors. Practice this technique regularly and observe improvements in your performance in the field.
