Attacking Doubles Pickleball

A Practical System for Third-Shot Drives, Speed-Ups, Court Positioning, and Winning More Points

By Lwazi Moretti

Your opponents keep getting one more ball back. Your third-shot drive sits up. The kitchen rally lasts forever, and the best opening of the game arrives while your paddle is still parked at your hip. Sound familiar?

Attacking Doubles Pickleball gives recreational and club-level players a practical approach to offensive pickleball strategy built on timing, positioning, and choosing the right ball to attack. The focus is on making your next decision better, whether you are returning deep, setting up a speed-up, or defending a tough ball at the kitchen line.

Inside, you will learn how to: - Use pickleball doubles tactics to create openings with your partner instead of swinging at everything that moves. - Improve your third shot drive pickleball decisions, including when a drop offers the smarter path forward. - Develop pickleball speed-up techniques that pressure opponents without feeding their strongest counterattack. - Sharpen pickleball shot selection by reading ball height, contact position, opponent readiness, and risk. - Apply pickleball kitchen line strategy to find better targets, protect the middle, and finish higher balls with control. - Practice with pickleball drills for intermediate players, including measurable sessions, match scenarios, and courtside checklists.

Across 15 chapters, you'll work through third-shot patterns, off-center drops, speed-ups, overheads, target selection, partner communication, serving and returning, moving opponents, and handling tight scores. The rule-based discussion of the return bounce also clarifies a point that trips up plenty of otherwise competent players: each side has one required bounce before volleys become legal.

You won't be promised an impossible winner from every awkward ball. You'll learn to recognize the promising ones, create a better opportunity when the ball isn't ready, and keep your partner in the point. Sometimes the best attack begins with a drop. The net does not award bonus points for dramatic intentions.

For: Doubles players who know the basic rules and want structured offensive tactics and practice ideas for their next club session.

Play with a plan. Attack with a reason. Make the next ball count.
