12 Pro Moves You SHOULDN'T Copy!

12 Things Pro Pickleball Players Do That You Shouldn’t Copy (And What to Do Instead)

In this video, I explain why copying pro pickleball habits can actually hurt your game and what to do instead. I cover why most amateurs shouldn’t use a low ready position against bangers, how to build wristy shots like flicks through a progression, when aggressive dinks make sense (balance, position, and ball height), and why you shouldn’t overuse a two-handed backhand. I also share why power often beats placement on high balls, why execution matters more than being tricky, when slice returns can still work at the amateur level, and why driving every third shot can prevent you from developing your drop. I discuss smarter low attacks, sticking with what works until opponents adjust, prioritizing counterattacks over kitchen-line resets, and not blindly copying pro paddle choices.
