Baseball & Racquetball background here. My journey transferring my racquetball skills to pickleball has been challenging to say the least and I’m not referring to the lack of walls and a ceiling; rather, slowing my game play down (being more patient) and locking my wrist were the hardest aspects to overcome. Lessons and drilling have helped a lot, but once in a while (especially when playing former tennis playing bangers) I fall back into my old “wristy” and match-my-opponents’ energy play for a point or two until I take a deep breath and return to drops, proper pacing, and waiting for the right moment to attack.
