The Difference-Maker: The Transition Zone | The Pickleball Breakdown Ep. 12

The transition zone is one of the LAST skills a player develops, and Scott & Jill are here to help you not just SURVIVE in it, but to THRIVE in it. Forget “no-man’s-land”—it’s time for you to meet the “zone of death”. Learn more about this misunderstood but vital area of the court including: how many shots should it take to get to the kitchen? How do you know whether to move back, forward, or to stay put? Where should we aim in transition (line/or cross court/ middle?). Also, how to punish the opposition when THEY are in transition. Do NOT miss this critical episode on the “T-Zone”! (Bonus points for anyone who can say “transition zone” five times fast).
