Pickleball is an extremely strategic sport. Players who really understand how to play pickleball know how to move the ball, hit the ball, know the advantages and disadvantages of certain types of shots, and capitalize on the opportunities they get. They're able to keep the opportunities given to the other team as low as possible.
The knowledge that these players bring to the game is what we fairly characterize as a pickleball strategy. It is the things that make the difference between a really, really good player and a player who might look like he or she has all the shots but doesn't really understand the game and doesn't understand how to build a point or build a rally successfully, how to minimize the opportunities that they're giving up to the opponent and how to capitalize on the opportunities that the opponents are giving to them.
A concrete example of how understanding a pickleball strategy can help you improve your game. One area where a lot of players make mistakes and where they can clearly improve their game significantly is missing fourth shots. Those types of errors are capital "E" Errors, the kind of error that you just can't have in your game if you want to succeed in pickleball.
When I first started playing pickleball, I was told the cardinal sin was missing a serve. I was told you never want to miss a serve. And, obviously, nobody wants to serve. I'll agree with that. But it's not the cardinal sin. It's not the number one error, not even the number two error. And to suggest that, in my opinion, misses the mark in terms of understanding pickleball and how a pickleball game is built.
The one thing you cannot do in pickleball is missing a return of serve. I think that's pretty simple, and everybody would agree with that.
The second thing you cannot do in pickleball, however, is missing the fourth shot. Here's why. The Serve team hasn't done anything at that stage of the rally to deserve the rally but deserve a point. At the time that you missed the fourth shot, you were in complete control of the rally. You're the return team. You're up in the non-volley zone, and you have control of that situation.
When you miss the fourth shot, you're giving up your advantage. You're basically conceding your advantage. But worse yet, you're giving the serving team a point.
Think about it this way. You can miss eleven, twelve, thirteen, serves in a game and still win the game. You normally will not miss eleven, twelve, or thirteen fourth shots and still win the game.
It's a fairly simple thing to understand, a fairly simple part of pickleball that a player can understand and hopefully fix in their game. But it just gives you an example of how understanding pickleball strategy, understanding the fundamentals of pickleball, and how pickleball works can help you as a player, become better at the game, not give away free points and be more successful as a pickleball player.
