Speaker:your 5-star review.

Speaker:Today's tip comes from RSPA and PPA Certified Pickleball Pro, Jim Carella.
Speaker:Listen and let us know what you think.
Speaker:Hi, this is Jim Carella, aka Jimbo Pickleball.
Speaker:Today we're going to discuss the type of footwork needed when you get to the non-valley
Speaker:line or as a lot of people call it the kitchen.
Speaker:One thing you definitely don't want to do is cross over.
Speaker:Please keep your hips and shoulders facing the net.
Speaker:That means shuffling left and right very aggressively.
Speaker:If you need to step across as a last resort to reach the ball then do so.
Speaker:But quickly recover.
Speaker:Staying forward enables you to defend yourself against the speed up.
Speaker:Once you cross your feet getting back to that ready position is extremely difficult.
Speaker:Hope this helps.
Speaker:Happy Pickling!
Speaker:Well, there you have it.
Speaker:We want to thank reGeovinate.com for use of the studio and Signature Tennis for their
