Hi, Jim Carella here, aka Jimbo Pickleball.

Today we're talking about the Return of Serve.

So in Pickleball, the return has to be balanced by the serving team.

That means there's no net person.

So be as safe as possible with the return.

Where is that best hit?

Down the middle.

Once you get your down the middle honed in, the deeper you put it, the better it is.

It allows you more time to follow your return to the non-valley line.

Remember if you miss the return, it's an automatic point for your opponent.

Can't be allowed without having anybody to put pressure on the service return, just get

it in.

Hopefully this helps.

And as always, happy pickling.

Well, there you have it.
