I Fixed Her Blocking in One Private Pickleball Lesson

Step inside a real private pickleball lesson with me and Denise. In this lesson, I’m helping Denise fix one of the biggest things that was costing her points: blocking the ball when it gets sped up at her. A lot of players think they have slow hands, but most of the time that is not the real problem. The real problem is the ball is getting too close to your body, your paddle is late, and you’re trying to do too much instead of staying calm and blocking the ball out in front. That’s exactly what we work on in this lesson. I show Denise how to use her paddle like a shield, keep the ball in front, stay stable, and stop panicking when the ball comes fast. Then we move into more advanced drills where she has to speed up, handle counters, move forward, and play the point. If you are a 3.5, 4.0, or 4.5 player and you struggle with blocks, counters, speedups, or getting jammed at the kitchen, this video is going to help you. Watch this like you are in the lesson with us. Put yourself in Denise’s position and listen to the corrections, because these are the same mistakes I see every day with players trying to move up. In this video, you’ll learn: Why your blocks feel late How to stop getting jammed at the kitchen Where to contact the ball when you block How to use your paddle like a shield Why smaller movements help you handle speed How to switch from backhand to forehand faster How to train speedups and counters How to stay calm when the ball speeds up What 4.0 players need to improve to move toward 4.5 If you want your own private lesson like this, comment LESSON below or send me a message. We’ll look at your game, find what’s costing you points, and build a simple plan to help you improve.
