204: Understanding the Physics of Pickleball with Coach Tom Meyer

Pickleball Fire Podcast

Mar 20 2023 • 21 mins

I'm not sure how I did it, but I never took a physics class in all my years of schooling.  So I'm happy to have on the Pickleball Fire podcast today, Tom Meyer, who will explain the physics of the game in a way that I think we can all relate to.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Where the sweet spot of a Pickleball paddle is really located
  • How far you should take your paddle back when hitting the ball
  • Why your Pickleball serve is slower than you think
  • Where you should hit the ball on the paddle to make it spin to the right and left
  • What Tom puts on the wall and bottom of his bed to improve his  reaction time
  • How you should stand when you hit your serve
