Having a successful and imposing return of serve all boils down to one word..Time!

Specifically you want to find ways to buy time for yourself with your return all while still pressuring your opponents and giving them less time and space.

Now why do you need to create time when returning?

Well, one big advantage for the returning team is created by the two bounce rule. The ball must bounce twice after the serve. Once on the returning team’s side and once on the serving team’s side before anyone can hit a volley. That means that the returning team has the first opportunity to hit a volley if they wish which affords them the luxury of advancing to the net after the return if they choose to.

And, you absolutely should choose to every time you can because pickleballl like most sports is a ground war. The team that is up at the net generates the most opportunities for themselves to get high contact points with which they can hit down and away or hard and through. It’s the most offensive court positioning you can have and you want to achieve it early and often in every point.

Now, as the returner... why might you need time? What are you buying time for?

Well, since none of us humans travel at the speed of light, we all need some time to move from near the baseline, from where we are likely hitting the return, to the net. And, we want to doo so in such a way as to establish good positioning before the next shot is being struck by the opposing team.

Ideally, you’d like to get all the way up after the return or if that’s not possible, you’d at least like to get as close as you can t the NVZ line before the opponents are striking the balls, which hopefully is at least more than halfway up from the baseline.

So, how do you buy time for yourself so that you can get up to the net and impart maximum pressure on your opponents?

That’s exactly what we’re going to learn in today’s video. Check it out!
