Hey Ghoulish Pickleballer,

The eternal pickleball dilemma haunts your mind: to drive or to drop on this fateful third shot? Fear not, for in today’s ghostly edition, we shall unveil the secrets lurking behind each shot, guiding you through the twilight zone of pickleball tactics!

And don’t forget to uncover the spooky Tip of the Week lurking within the depths of this issue, if you dare! 🎃

👻 _{The Phantom of the Pickleball Court: Drive or Drop?}

Pickleball, much like a witch’s brew, is a potion of precision and pace. Here’s a skeleton guide to deciphering when to enchant the court with a drop or bewitch with a drive.

The Ghostly Third-Shot Drop

Position: As you hover near the non-volley zone (our haunted kitchen), let the spirit of the third-shot drop guide you. With a soft caress, send the ball floating over the net to rest in peace in the kitchen.

Opponent's Position: If your foes are close to the net, lure them into a dinking duel, diminishing their attacking aura.

Consistency: Master the art of the gentle drop, and you shall walk through the game with the calm demeanor of a ghost.

The Daring Drive

Position: When distant from the kitchen or when the ball levitates at chest level or higher, summon the drive to storm the court.

Offensive Strategy: Unleash the drive like a bolt of lightning, startling your opponents into submission.

Weak Returns: Should your opponents falter with a frail or high return, seize the moment with a powerful drive.

Mix It Up

Keep your opponents spellbound with a cauldron of drops and drives.

A great time to drive the 3rd instead of dropping #pickleball

Game Situation

🎃 _{Double Trouble: Deciding the Shot in Doubles}

In the twilight realm of doubles, deciding who should take the shot is crucial for conjuring a victorious game. Here’s a spellbook of tips:

Court Position: Heed the whispers of the court, and let the player closer to the incoming ball exorcise the shot.

Forehand vs. Backhand: Play to your strengths! If the ball ventures to your favored side, banish it with gusto.

Communication: A little witchy whisper or a ghostly “mine” or “yours” can clear the spectral doubts.
