In this clip, pro pickleball player Susannah Barr explains how to move after you hit the return when facing a deadly drip. Yes, you want to move fast to the kitchen, but as you get close, you need to stay under control and slow down so you can react.
Susannah compares it to a slow-close kitchen drawer:
➡️ Fast at first
➡️ Then slow and controlled at the end
That way, you’re ready to:
• Let the ball bounce and play it off the bounce
• Or step in and take it out of the air
