Pickleball offers a welcoming community and a low barrier to entry. However, the joy of the game truly blossoms as your skills improve. While lessons and playing with others are valuable, the Stryker ST100 self-trainer empowers you to practice effectively on your own time, regardless of the weather or your availability to find a partner. Here's how the Stryker ST100 can revolutionize your Pickleball practice:

Breakthrough Barriers, Unleash Improvement:

• DIY Improvement: Take charge of your development. The Stryker ST100 allows you to design a personalized practice routine, focusing on your specific strengths and weaknesses.

Building Confidence Through Focused Practice:

• Muscle Memory in the Making: Consistent practice with the Stryker ST100 builds muscle memory, which is essentially the brain encoding efficient movement patterns. This translates to smoother, more instinctive shots on the court.
• Confidence Through Repetition: As you see yourself hitting successful strokes with the Stryker ST100, your confidence grows. You'll approach matches with a newfound belief in your abilities.

• Perfection is a Myth: Don't get bogged down by the pursuit of flawless play. The Stryker ST100 is a fantastic tool for improvement, and every well-hit ball is a victory to celebrate.
• Identify Your Weaknesses: The Stryker ST100 can help you pinpoint areas that need work. Experiment with different drills and see where you struggle. This self-assessment empowers you to target your weaknesses and develop a well-rounded skillset.

Practice Your Way: Finding Fun in Improvement:

• Drills or Play? You Decide: There's no mandatory drilling with the Stryker ST100. If you find drills tedious, invent your own fun practice drills.
• Solo Doesn't Mean Boring: While playing with others is undeniably fun, the Stryker ST100 provides a fantastic solo practice option. You can still incorporate competition by setting personal bests or time limits for specific drills.

Unlocking the Potential of the Stryker ST100:

• Master the Strokes: The height adjustments on the Stryker ST100 allow you to practice groundstrokes and specialty shots. As you hit the ball, visualize yourself on the court, focusing on control and desired placement.
• Progressive Drills: Design drills with increasing difficulty. As you master a simpler version, gradually add complexity to keep your practice sessions challenging and engaging.
• Spice it Up with Competition: Many players benefit from a competitive element to stay focused. Compete against a drill partner, other students or set time limits to challenge yourself.
• Bilateral Practice: Develop well-rounded skills by practicing forehands and backhands from both sides of the imaginary court using the Stryker ST100.
• Double the Fun: Hang two balls on the Stryker ST100 to increase the number of repetitions and keep your practice sessions dynamic with good footwork and swing mechanics.

The Stryker ST100 transcends the limitations of location and scheduling, empowering you to take charge of your pickleball improvement. With focused practice and a touch of creativity, you can develop your skills, build confidence, and step onto the court ready to dominate.

Start the learning curve:

Watch the first ball you hit as it swivels around the arm. Let it settle and you are on your way to thousands of strikes without having to chase balls.

Build Increasing difficulty:

Many players need this element to keep interest and focus. Have some way of keeping score or setting time limits on how often or how well you performed each stroke.

Practice from both sides:

Imagine practicing all skills from both the right and left side of a court. Use both forehands and backhands.

Hang two balls:

By hanging two balls you can move around the self-trainer and hit 10 times more balls as on a real court.

Be creative:

Make up your own drills, and continue to adjust once you’ve learned to make them as fun and challenging as possible.
