With double pickleball, the server must have both feet behind the baseline until the ball is hit. Does the server`s game partner also have to have both feet behind the baseline, or can they be in the baseline if they wish? I watched this video on YT about youtu.be/dPYTI6Iy08k deposit service variations. In this case, Rule 4.A.3 shall apply. In your example, it depends on where the server`s feet are at the time the ball is hit. Tip: Taking into account the wind and sun, make sure you use the service that gives you the best chance of putting the ball in play. You can`t find a rule, Elizabeth, because there is no rule. Use the drop or a traditional time whenever you want in the same game. Just make sure that when you switch from one side to the other, you follow the rules that apply to each service. All lines are good at pickleball, except for the non-volleyball line at the service. The service must go beyond the non-flight line of the service. If this is not the case, it is due to an error on the server.

If you are referring to the midline that separates right field from left field, the ball is considered “in” if it hits that line on the serve. I hope that helps. Different markups you can try with the Drop-Serve: In 2021, the Rules Committee added the Drop-Serve as an additional legal service option. (Rule #4.A.8). The serve drop allows a player to drop the ball and hit the serve after it has bounced without following the three criteria of arm movement in an ascending arc, from the paddle under the wrist to contact at the contact below the waist. Please specify. the ball can be dropped anywhere on the field as long as the feet remain in the Hi Martin service box, the server`s playing partner can legally be positioned anywhere on or off the field. Strategically, however, it is recommended that they stand just behind the baseline, as the service team must bounce the ball before it is removed from the air. Hope this helps! Todd Hi Mike, No, the ball can`t be bounced before serving. Here is the official rule: [4.C.] Service. The ball must be hit before it touches the playing surface. It`s great that doubts about gout exit have been removed.

If you get the serve, you can be in front of the baseline wherever you want when the person serving short serves all the time Question: Can the ball bounce off the serve and hit the hen? Some people asked, can`t you get a crazy spin with the drop serve? Yes, drop serve allows you to create an additional backspin. However, backspin on the service is not a positive thing. All professional players can read the rotation of a ball based on the opponent`s swing trajectory, so the backspin doesn`t fool anyone. In addition, backspin makes a shot fly in the air longer, which increases the likelihood that the serve will go long or far. After all, if you`ve ever seen Law and Order, you know that “anything you say can and will be used against you,” and that goes for Spin as well. If that doesn`t make sense, wait until next week when I explain how heavy turns can be used against the opponent! 4.E.1. If the server runs for more than 10 seconds, an error is reported. Based on these official pickleball service rules, there are 3 criteria for a legal service: (1) the arm must move in an ascending arc – or in other words, the paddle must go in an upward motion, (2) the contact with the ball must be below the waist, and (3) the highest part of the paddle must not be above the wrist. I try a lot of spin on my serve. I find that for backhand serves, it gives me more time to put my backswing in position and my arms don`t cross if I don`t throw the ball up. The lifting mechanism is improving.

I`m so happy that Drop Serve is here to stay. I changed it as soon as it was legally usable. I can always put it in one place for better control and depth. I was in the field the other day and the women with the axe were fighting terribly with their serve, but no more blows. I showed him drop serve, basically your forehand. She was able to get it on the field in just about 10 practice serves, and that continued into one match. Hi Ed, that`s a good question. I`ll talk a little bit about it here: www.pickleballmax.com/2018/01/major-rule-revisions-2018/. Also read the comments there. Get on your marks! The changes to pickleball rules in 2022 mainly concern the most popular topic on the courts in 2021 – markup. Changes to the 2022 pickleball rules begin with a ban on chainsaw extras. A player can only throw a pickleball for service with his hand without a paddle, unless he cannot use his hand without a paddle, in which case he can use the paddle to hit and serve the pickleb ball.

In April – apparently after several years of “resistance” – my parents started playing pickleball. They have joined their local senior center and now play a few times a week. So, can I hit a heavy slice properly on a gout service? The problem I have with the drop service is that it never bounces high enough to get a good shot on it. And I have to hit the ball very hard to overcome it, which is difficult as a very small woman with tiny arms and shoulders. What`s the best service for someone who doesn`t have much upper body strength? I`m considering going back to soft underhand lob serve. I know it`s weak, but at least it`s on the net. Hi Tom, thanks for weighing in. I tried to pause the service on the corresponding frame. Things are looking good here.

Hi Heidi, you can throw the ball on the serve as long as you hit it out of the air before the ball bounces (and as long as it meets all three requirements: contact below the waist, bow up on the swing and paddle under the wrist on contact). If it is a drop serve (which bounces off the serve before serving), it should be abandoned and not pushed up or down. I hope that helps. I couldn`t understand it, but I knew it was in my head; It all started when I joined a stronger group (I was intimidated). Until then, I didn`t understand yips, after all, it was “just a service”. Well, now I know that yips are real, and drop serve allows you to play through them until you understand it.
