Pickleball strategy: When to counter-attack and when to block. In this pickleball lesson coach Sarah Ansboury demonstrates the technical strategy behind the question, when to counter, and when to block. The first component is having a good paddle position and body position set you up to be able to counterattack your opponent's ball instead of having to block. The purpose of this pickleball lesson is to show what offensive positioning looks ... like vs. a defensive position in pickleball. The player's primary focus is the paddle position. The paddle shall be away from the body, weight forward, and always be ready and off the heels. During this pickleball lesson coach Sarah will show you how to get hips underneath the player, the paddle away from the body, prepare for the ball sooner, and be ready to turn the shoulders with the paddle. In this pickleball drill, the coach puts pressure on the mid-court player, trying to get into a counter-attack position. This is always a challenge but worth it when you find yourself attacking balls back to your opponent that you may normally get hit with or jammed, forcing you to block. Learning this pickleball strategy enables you to have both. Another pickleball lesson recommended is "RECOGNIZE WHEN TO ATTACK OR HIT A BLOCK SHOT IN PICKLEBALL."
