Unlock the secrets of smarter pickleball with our 2-day Academy focused on Using Angles and Placement Over Power. This session is ideal for players ready to move beyond brute force and start crafting points with intention, control, and strategy. You will focus on:
- Understanding Court Geometry: Learn how to use sharp angles and wide placements to move opponents out of position and create open space.
- When Less is More: Discover the advantages of using touch, spin, and precision instead of relying solely on speed or power.
- Strategic Dinking and Third Shot Drops: Work on placing shots where your opponents aren’t—especially with angled dinks and drop shots that pull them off the court.
- Defensive and Offensive Angles: Explore how to defend against aggressive players and how to redirect pace using smart angles.
- Shot Variety and Control: Learn how to mix up your placement and tempo to disrupt your opponents’ rhythm and force errors.
With focused instruction and purposeful drilling, this Academy will help you see the court differently and develop a more sophisticated game plan—one that values control, deception, and intelligent execution.
