This shot puts defenders in jail 😀

Leaning in from the right side with your forehand is one of the most dangerous positions in pickleball.

Why?

Because you have three legitimate options: line, middle, and crosscourt.

The player across from you can realistically cover only two of them, which means they're forced to guess. That's what makes this attack so effective. Not the speed. Not the power. The uncertainty.

Takeaway: Jordan Johnson does this at the highest level, constantly putting defenders in impossible situations.
