The #1 Trick to Anticipate Every Speedup

This video is one of the most important tactical breakdowns I’ve done to date—and it might completely change how you play at the kitchen line. I’m diving deep into what I call the Triangle Rule, a simple but powerful concept that helps you anticipate and win more speed-ups and hands battles. Whether you’re a 3.0 player just starting to feel comfortable at the net, or a pro-level competitor looking to gain an edge, this is a framework you can apply immediately to read and dominate the court.

This idea simplifies the chaos of kitchen-line speed-ups by helping you predict where the counter is going before it even happens. The key? Treating your opponent like a wall. Once you understand how angles naturally funnel returns into predictable lanes, you’ll start anticipating faster, moving earlier, and winning more exchanges at the net. Using real-time drills and analysis, I demonstrate how linear and crossbody speed-ups create different counter-attack paths—and how you can pre-position based on your shot. This is high-IQ pickleball made simple and effective. I walk through common scenarios from both the forehand and backhand side, and show why the V-shape return pattern happens again and again—whether you’re playing 3.0 rec games or pro-level tournaments. Mastering this rule will not only help you win more hands battles, but it’ll also boost your confidence to pull the trigger at the net—because you’ll know what’s coming. If you’re trying to level up your kitchen game, this video’s for you. Source: Jack Munro
