Getting creative with the serve is so overlooked in Pickleball. It’s the only stroke you own completely and in a way as goes the serve, so do the rallies that follow. Any time that you can get an edge with the serve, you should be willing to do it. Reap the benefits of a weak or vulnerable return. Remember the return of serve is ideally deep so you get time to waltz up to the kitchen. Nice video, thx!
Center line is one I've done less recently because even when in or hits the line I've gotten a calls against it. Feel like people jump at the out call on those.
I sometimes put a sideways slice to my serve which creates a lot of spin and often becomes difficult to return and sometimes impossible if I hit the upper corner just outside the kitchen.
Fully agree. I am not keen on the centerline serve since there is not much margin. However varying the amount of slice (side spin) on a serve and keeping some deep but occasionally one soft and low can drive the receiver nuts : ' )
kitchen corner serve should be done to the the back hand. If you serve to the forehand and they get to the ball they have a huge angle and you cannot get to the ball. Yes Yes if they get lucky 50% they get lucky
Exception is if the receiver is standing back nearer to the center line. A topspin forehand serve to the corner kitchen on their right side court) will be very hard for them to get to. It's a smaller target but you can often 'ace' them.
Wrong about the centerline. Just like a ball that lands on the center line is in; the same is true about a foot that is on the centerline extension yet not past it while serving, is good and part of the centerline extension. Here are the rules concerning it. 4.L. Service Foot Faults. During the serve, when the ball is struck, the server’s feet shall: 4.L.1. Not touch the area outside the imaginary extension of the sideline. 4.L.2. Not touch the area on the wrong side of the imaginary extension of the centerline. 4.L.3. Not touch the court, including the baseline.
Great fun tips! Thanks!
Great tips on the serve. I've made notes. Now I just have to practice the different serves. Thanks!
Need more cameras

Yes! It’s the only shot that isn’t a response from your opponent .
You are an excellent teacher!! Thank you. : ))
thanks Berrett your videos are always helpful and well done.
My pleasure!
They gonna be wet
How about a slice or cut serve?
well done .. thank you
My pleasure!
I cant donspins yet
I joined you with a beer when I watched this at .5 playback speed 😄
I want to know how to hit those centerline shots back. They come down that line fast.
Thank you for your tips and tricks. If you serve and the ball and it hits the center stripe is it bad or good depending on what side of stripe
I usually consider balls on the center line in.

Yeah that does happen sometimes.
@@PickleballKitchen just need to make sure there is extra room :) By the way I love your videos! Thank you!
Good tips. Just a suggestion: Show the serve from the receiver's point of view
agree with this one!!!
Great Jorb!!
Thanks!
What camera do you use to record these, I want to start recording my games
Canon Rebel SL2, but for recording your own games I would just use your iPhone
Just in time now that we're able to get back on the courts. Can't wait to try these. Thanks!!!
Awesome! Let me know how it goes.
But are they accurate in over 90% of the time? No offense but I like winning. 😎 cool not so much....now your matching blue shoes, that’s cool.
This should be renamed to: “how to pwn beginners and less mobile players” 😉
Yeah I can see that!
You teach pickleball but I don't see you play. 🙄
The last serve is too fast to see. Can you repost and slow the video down please? If I use slow play on my end, its blurry. Thanks for your tips.
I can’t repost it, but check out the “easy power” video
@@PickleballKitchen thanks, that's a good video, you're helping me progress - awesome

No slice serve? Love my left hand slice serve.
Show it in slow motion the lag and snap.
Great info Barrett! Love the lob serve! Thanks!
My pleasure and thanks!
A lob with no spin (or a little back spin) will mess up a returner who is expecting a rip serve - they try doing a soft return and it goes way short.
Excellent demonstration. Very helpful. Thanks 🙏
My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by.

The “rip it” is my normal serve 😂
thanks Pickelball Kitchen for this awesome video! you’re the best
,; k;
Thanks a lot.
What is the pointof a center line serve unless you are serving to the receiver's backhand? Or is the center shot shorter to bring them forward?
Good tips,yes
