You've got paddles, balls and a bag to hold them. You've got safety glasses, overgrips and shoes ... but are you fully equipped for the court?
There are some game-changing pickleball training aids out there that you might not have considered.
If you're a pickleball player looking to take your game to the next level, these tools can help you improve.
Enhance Dink Master Pro and Dink Master
A reliable drilling buddy is hard to come by. Good thing most people have access to a garage or back patio where they could set up this training aid.
The Dink Master Pro and Dink Master from Enhance Pickleball are durable hitting surfaces that provide accuracy targets for you to practice placing dinks, speedups and chicken wing attacks.
The Dink Master Pro features a honeycomb aluminum core, a second side for added versatility and a wider board that gives you more room to practice.
An added bonus: Both products come with a drill catalog.
Enhance Ninja Ball
With the Ninja Ball, you can practice pickleball wherever you want without making any noise. The ball is made of a foam that bounces very similar to a normal pickleball.
It's also safe to practice against any type of surface or wall and won't cause any damage.
Each pack comes with 3 Ninja Balls.
Enhance Mini Court
The mini court from Enhance Pickleball consists of a half-sized net and pre-measured straps that create a kitchen line.
Whether you have a driveway or a garage, you now have the ideal setup to practice with a drilling partner at home.
The straps connect perfectly with Velcro, allowing you to set up quickly.
ERNE training paddles
Your paddle's sweet spot isn't just a vague selling point. The mechanics of hitting a ball in that spot play a key role in determining shot placement and consistency.
So if you have a few minutes to practice before your next game, why not try doing so with a training paddle?
It's like the equivalent of a runner attaching weight to their ankles leading up to a big meet: once they take it off, they'll rocket forward.
Similarly, some dinks and drives with one of these will hone your hand-eye coordination and having you striking the sweet spot every time with your actual paddle.
ERNE ball tube
Spend less time picking up balls and more time drilling. No more bending down to collect your balls. Make it easy and quick with the ERNE ball tube so you can get in as many reps as possible.
Simply press the tube over the ball, and watch as it effortlessly gets sucked into the tube.
With the ability to hold about 17 pickleballs, this tube ensures you can keep the training going without frequent interruptions for ball retrieval.
It also has a built-in fence hook to keep the tube off the ground and out of the way when not in use.
ERNE training balls
Ideally, you want to conquer consistent flat shots before you worry about adding spin in pickleball.
But even if you're a beginner, it helps to learn how to recognize the spin coming from your opponents' shots. After all, there's always that one guy at rec play who puts spin on every shot.
But if you want to react to topspin and slice shots effectively, you need to train your eyes to see it. That's where this ball's bold half-black coloring comes into play.
Plus, it's made with sound dampening technology, so you can practice just about anywhere without bothering those nearby.
