A new guide has been released by Experience Pickleball, discussing the underhand serve technique and tactics for ball placement.
New York, United States - November 17, 2023 /PressCable/ —
Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the US and shares many similarities to tennis, but one notable difference is the serving technique. In tennis, overhand serves allow for greater power - but pickleball serves and volleys are all made underhand. In its latest guide, Experience Pickleball covers strategies for serving in the most effective way while adhering to the rules.

Opening a pickleball sequence with an underhand serve allows the rally to begin without giving an unfair advantage to the serving team - but with the right technique and strategy, players can still create advantageous shots. The new guide offers advice on ball placement and emphasizes making sure that all contact is made below the waste.
Proper underhand serve technique is essential for avoiding penalties. By maintaining the highest point of the paddle below wrist level throughout the serve motion, players can avoid errors. The guide advises players to practice fluid underhand swings that maximize power while keeping the paddle low.
An effective strategy covered in the guide is starting the serve by dropping the ball first, instead of tossing it upward. This allows the ball to fall into the ideal contact point for the underhand swing path.
Proper footwork is also emphasized: Experience Pickleball instructs that the dominant foot should be placed behind during the serve, with the non-dominant foot ahead. This creates a side stance that allows free motion of the serving arm.
In addition to serving techniques, Experience Pickleball provides a range of other pickleball tips and resources. With over 36 million pickleball players in 2023, according to the APP Tour Participation Report, the sport's popularity continues to rise - and Experience Pickleball aims to help players of all skill levels get the most enjoyment from the pastime.
A spokesperson states: "It is important that you perform an underhand serve correctly in pickleball, as the rules around serving are very strict. This guide will help you to avoid serving incorrectly, such as letting your paddle hand travel above the waist."
