The journey to be a more well-rounded player can be filled with distractions that pull you in different directions, that are not as productive as others, the Erne being a good example.

When you watch the Erne in action in pro matches, you'll find that it's of very limited strategic value.

What's an Erne? In this episode I explain to you what that is, why it's not an effective shot, and unless you're super excited about it, I would suggest putting it on pause and really think about it, again.

Because winning in pickleball comes from the basic, non-sexy stuff, as well as doing it better and better than you have before.
