1 35: ALL About the ERNE! How to Erne in Pickleball 30:46
30:46 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked30:46
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedAn "ERNE" in pickleball is a specialized and advanced shot technique that involves reaching over the sideline to hit the ball before it crosses the net. The term "ERNE" is a portmanteau of "Ernie" and "Ernest," and it is named after Ernesto "Ernie" Scherer, a prominent pickleball player who popularized this maneuver. Here's how an ERNE works: When your opponent hits the ball diagonally toward your side of the court, and the ball is close to or just above the net, you have the opportunity to execute an ERNE. Instead of waiting for the ball to cross the net and then hitting it, you move quickly to the non-volley zone (often referred to as the "kitchen") and reach over the sideline, hitting the ball before it goes over the net. The objective of the ERNE is to hit the ball at an angle that surprises your opponent and makes it difficult for them to return. It can be an effective way to score a point or put pressure on your opponents. The ERNE is considered an advanced pickleball shot because it requires excellent hand-eye coordination, precise timing, and the ability to judge the trajectory of the ball accurately. It can catch your opponents off guard, but it also carries some risk, as reaching over the sideline can lead to errors if not executed correctly. Players who are skilled at the ERNE can use it as a valuable weapon in their pickleball arsenal, adding an element of surprise and strategy to their gameplay. However, mastering the ERNE takes practice and should be attempted by players with a solid understanding of the game's rules and techniques.

Get 10% off at CRBN Pickleball by using the promo code "402p" Whether you're an avid listener or a first-timer, this episode revisits past insights with a fresh perspective. As the game evolves rapidly, especially with the introduction of Gen 3 paddles, understanding your strategic approach is more crucial than ever. This post distills our discussion into actionable advice to enhance your pickleball proficiency. ### Why Strategy Matters Mircea shares the delight of implementing learned strategies in live games, a testament to the podcast's impact. Whether during practice or competitive play, the feedback from listeners like you shapes the evolution of your game and ours. These cumulative reflections drive our strategic segment today. ### Clinic Updates and Community Engagement Michael discusses the enthusiasm surrounding upcoming clinics designed to cater to both VIP individuals and general attendees. Set to be a four-day event, it promises personalized coaching, engaging meet and greets, and plenty of practice opportunities. For those eager to join, connect with us via picklehelp.com or find us on social media for more details. ### The Art of the Fourth Shot One of the neglected aspects of pickleball strategy is the fourth shot. Emphasizing the fourth is crucial for setting the tone early in the game. Here's how each player can effectively strategize: - **Positioning and Communication**: As the returning partner, ensure to hit deep and aim for your opponent's weaker side. Discuss these targets with your partner briefly but effectively. - **Playing on the Prowl**: Use your position effectively – whether at the baseline or near the kitchen – to capitalize on your opponent's limitations. As Mike highlights, your presence can create pressure and cover for your partner. - **Shot Specifics**: Understanding shot placement – whether it's a drive, floater, or dink – can determine your success in applying pressure or defending successfully. ### Adapting to Modern Equipment As Michael notes, the advent of advanced paddles has shifted gameplay dynamics drastically. Drives are faster, and spin is more potent. Therefore, stability becomes essential when facing powerful shots. Employ a split-step technique to stabilize before contact, which will help manage the game's physical demands. ### Strategic Discussions and Adjustments Continuous communication with your partner is invaluable. Mircea elaborates on the importance of tactical discussions even in recreational play. Recognizing opponents' strengths and weaknesses can turn the tide of a game. Adjust your strategies accordingly – such as redirecting play based on opponents' drive capabilities. ### The Tech Angle: Stacking and Unstacking Mircea guides us through stacking strategies, emphasizing unstacking's importance during play. Adjustments in positioning can make significant tactical impacts, thereby offering new avenues for both offense and defense. ### Conclusion This episode of "4.0 to Pro" is packed with strategic insights and settings aimed at transforming your pickleball encounters from mere matchups to precise plays of cerebral chess. Remember, being proactive and communicative, even off-court through strategic discussions, can elevate your gameplay significantly. **Join us again as we continue to dissect the nuances of pickleball strategy and provide pathways to elevate your gameplay from the beginner to professional levels.** Thank you for amplifying your game with us at "4.0 to Pro."
