Скачать или смотреть ROAD TO 4.0 - Ep. 1: Serve & Return Fundamentals with Coach Carl Taibl

Quick note: This video was salvaged from vertical footage, but the lessons are too valuable not to share! As a 20-year badminton player transitioning to pickleball, I'm learning that while racquet sports experience helps with hand-eye coordination, pickleball's groundstrokes are a whole new challenge - especially compared to tennis or ping pong backgrounds.
In this first training session, Coach Carl breaks down fundamental mechanics for:
🎯 Serve Mechanics:

Contact point optimization
Proper shoulder rotation
Ball toss positioning
Developing a consistent routine

🔄 Return Fundamentals:

Side-step preparation
Compact swing technique
Forward momentum control
Backhand positioning

Special thanks to Coach Carl Taibl for the amazing instruction and technical insights!
