Pickleball Transition Zone: How To Read Your Opponent (and Fight Your Way to the Net)

Are you never sure what to do in the pickleball transition zone (aka “No Man’s Land”)? It’s the awkward area between the baseline and the kitchen. We will teach you the three "traffic light zones" in pickleball, when you should move forward in the transition zone (and when you shouldn't), and why your opponent's stance will help you make your decision. PLUS, two drills you can work on at your local court to help you practice your transition zone movement.
You should be able to make your transition zone decisions based on what your opponent is doing (and how they are standing). Learn about the three traffic light zones (both yours and your opponent's) and what each one means when you are fighting your way to the kitchen line.

    Here's the flip side to your red, yellow, green advance logic: If I'm your opponent and my paddle is below my waist for a shot and I see you advancing from the transition zone to the kitchen I may not dink but lob the ball deep. Similarly if my paddle is over my head and you are not advancing I might just tap it with my overhand shot to make it land in the kitchen. Every strategy has a counter strategy.

    wow you discovered being able to counterplay your opponent if you know what they are going to do every second you are playing them

    Gee so you're you are saying I'm just like the video. My point is it's not just as simple as looking at your opponents racquet position to know what they are going to attempt.
