I consider myself a casual pickleball player and as such I find that I have developed certain habits and style. This may be good or bad.

Vince Lombardi (former Football coach of the Green Bay Packers) is credited with having said:

“Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.”

But maybe you don’t have time to practice or you don’t want to practice because it isn’t as much fun. The great thing about pickleball is that you can make it whatever you want. If playing and doing the best you can under your individual circumstances satisfies you, then let it be. When I play, I am out to get exercise and have a good time.

Having said that, it doesn’t mean I don’t want to get better. I would like to improve my game if I can. Just to make sure I am doing things the way I should, I like to review how I am delivering certain shots. The video below is a review of how to hit a forehand and I find that I don’t always accurately do two things demonstrated and suggested in the video:

• Follow through strong above the shoulder
• When the intent is to “drive” the ball, swing through it

Watch the video below to review or find out how to hit a successful forehand.

This is the synopsis from the YouTube Video Page:
