Back & Core Stability

Your core powers every shot. Lower back protection, core stability for the dink game, proper posture, and exercises that translate directly to court performance.

Quick Tips

  • ✓Engage your core before each shot — don't rely on your back
  • ✓The ready position should be an athletic stance, not hunched over
  • ✓Planks and bird-dogs build pickleball-specific core strength
  • ✓Rotate from the hips, not the lower spine
  • ✓A strong core protects everything above and below it
