#1039: Does gender really change the way you should play doubles? Tracie asks coach Mindy Yoder whether there is a difference between women’s doubles versus mixed, and discovers that yes, it matters. Mindy explains why in mixed doubles women tend to be the recipients of most of the balls, how to get your male partner more involved in the point, and why hitting to the middle can be smarter than going for those tempting wide angles. They also talk about the growing aggression in women’s pickleball, when it’s appropriate to speed things up in rec play, and why “reading the room” may be just as important as reading the ball. Plus, Mindy shares the three conversations every new partnership should have before play begins, especially if, like often happens with Tracie, you’re heading into a tournament with a complete pickleball blind date.
