Look up Winners Only Tennis. The guy is a former basketball player and is making crazy fast progress in tennis. Absolute cannon of a serve for someone that's so new to the game | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
- Learn the net game. I used to play a former D1 ball player and he was almost unstoppable at the net.
- You also have the opportunity to have a great serve.
- Be patient- 1 year to learn, 5 years to be good and 10 years to be great. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Footwork like lateral movements and quick directional changes. There’s a similar concept of follow-through after a shot. Court awareness, knowing where your opponent is and the space around them to exploit.
In bball you need to “put a body” on the them for defense. The lower body strength you need to establish positi... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Generally speaking: if you do massive, exaggerated jump serves, you waste too much energy -- especially if the match is a tough one (with tons of long deuce points) and goes well over 2+ hrs. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
well they're two games that are played on a court right | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Mind games. It’s so easy to get your opponent flustered. You have to be mostly civil in Tennis but you can push buttons that tennis players don’t even know they have. My friend sometimes receives second serve standing on the service line. It works, the response is to hit your first serve again. We are 3.0 btw. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I'd be more curious why you think athletic abilities from one sport might not translate to another. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Your willingness to practice and be coachable will be a huge advantage. So many players never practice, never make swing changes, just play matches, and complain that they aren't getting the results they want.
Oh, also, I had a very tall doubles partner in high school and he was an absolute beast at the net.

Spacial awareness. I think it's important to be able to look at the ball while you're focusing on hitting it but having the spacial awareness and peripherals to see what is going on off the ball, to try to beat them in a point. It's especially important in doubles because you have 2 opponents and your own partner that ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

Are there rules how you have to trow the ball when you serve? I always learned to have the ball facing upwards in the palm of you hand. I had this opponent who held the ball downwards with his hand on top and flicked the ball up. This way the ball already has a lot of spin in the air before it touched the racket. He p... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
No | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
No rule against it. But spin on the toss is not helping him at all. It's only gonna make his serve less consistent. That's why pros don't spin their tosses | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Not like table tennis... Throw the ball any way you like! I do the behind the back method with a wrist flick to get that extra back spin and really put some junk on it! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
>He put even more spin on it when he hit the ball.
That's not how spin works. It isn't additive. The amount of spin the ball has when it leaves his racket is the amount of spin he puts on it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

With no exception. If you say the word 'pickleball' (outside of this post), you get a 1 day suspension. Say it again, 7 days. 3rd time? Perma ban from this sub.
It's Dink Doink. Not Pickleball. 'Pickleball' gives it too much credence as a real sport. 'Dink-doink' is far more accurate.

That is factually incorrect. The sport is table tennis. ping pong is slang for people who don't know better. Even the sound 'ping pong' is only heard when you play with a wooden paddle with a hard piece of cheap rubber on it. Actual professional matches sound nothing like 'ping pong'.
