Hi, Jim Carella here, aka Jimbo Pickleball.

Today we're going to talk about ground strokes.

Wow, for a pickleball player, that sounds weird.

But if you are converting from tennis to pickle, this is right up your alley.

It's not a place you want to stay a long time, which is the end line or baseline.

But you do hit four hands and back hands, similar to tennis swing.

Definitely turn your shoulders.

This is where you're allowed to get sideways to the net.

Preferably a low to high swing to create some topspin so the ball will dip at your opponent's

feet.

Slices is okay, but it's not strongly encouraged when you're coming forward too often.

Remember those ground strokes?

You tennis players just like you did on the tennis court, and as always, happy pickling.

Well, there you have it.
