Keeping your paddle up could be just the key you need.
It was pointed out to me the correct science would be to decrease your reaction time, not increase. I didn't think of that so thank you Robert F. for pointing that out. I'll replace this video shortly!

How do you know when your paddle is REALLY up?
Hi there my name is CJ Johnson.
Paddle up in pickleball increases my reaction time. When I look at and I talk to the best players in pickleball paddle and body position tend to be indicators of when the opportunity is there to attack. If your opponent's out of position that's a great time to do it.
So how do you really learn when your paddle is up?
I've given you a couple tips but these are the things that I did that made the most impact.
The first thing I did was ask somebody who wasn't in a game to stand by the net and tell me when the paddle is up. I was often surprised to learn that I thought I kept my paddle up during the whole time and my paddle was actually down.
I then asked that person say paddle up in between shots as I'm playing. It was a great reminder and it helped me to move the paddle to the right position. Now if you don't have or don't want to ask somebody to help you with that you probably have a camera on your smartphone. Get a tripod a gorilla tripod you could attach right to a fence at your local pickleball part and tape yourself. My guess is you're going to find the same thing I did, That is as the point went on my paddle went from the up position to the down position especially when I got into a drinking game. It went down and it stayed down there leaving me very vulnerable to the attack.
So remember increase reaction time by keeping your paddle up.
