This is an especially good set of sixteen guidelines detailing how to play pickleball with the most “widely accepted” winning strategies. Like most guidelines, however, these cannot be held fast and there will be exceptions. Some of the time, a particular strategy won’t work or won’t work as well as another strategy when playing against a particularly skilled player.
The first rule, i.e. to return serve soft and deep, wins much of the time, but there are a few players who are expert at slamming the ball back down the sidelines and perhaps a more nuanced approach might be called for. In any event, I find that the soft and deep strategy works as long as I change it up every once in a while. You need to keep the opposing players “honest.”
I think you will find most of these guidelines helpful. You can download one of the versions (both have the same information) at the links below:
