The Split Step
So, what’s a split step in pickleball?
Split step is an easy-to-master game strategy that is all about timing and positioning—it puts you in the perfect spot to hit challenging shots, like when the ball lands at your feet and hitting a third shot drop.
It’s just a small hop and landing on both feet, but it's the difference between scrambling around and smoothly controlling play.
To split step, you spread your feet out wider than your shoulder width apart and bend your knees a little bit.
Here's a CRBN Tutorial Video with Pro Walter Lau to help you better understand split stepping.
SASS: The Acronym to Master the Split Step Technique
SASS in the split step strategy stands for:
S - Stabilize
A - Anticipate
S - Shift
S - Swing or Block
Right after your opponent hits the ball, you make a small hop (Stabilize), read your opponent’s body and paddle (Anticipate), shift your weight to intercept (Shift), and then make your play (Swing or Block).
The split-step rhythm keeps you one step ahead and primes you to move in any direction. It may not be as glamorous as other pickleball game strategies, but it’s a pro move that might be the key to winning more matches.
Try split-stepping in your next pickleball game, and let us know what happens.
