Tired of middle confusion when you play pickleball doubles?
That ball in the middle can cause a lot of trouble when we’re playing out on the pickleball court. In this video, I’m going to show you exactly how to avoid this situation here from the vantage point of pro play.
You can see when Respect the X (RTX) is used – effectively, and when it is not (and the results).
Stop wondering who takes the middle ball – RTX will give you the answer – every time.
And than you to the players, Jorja Johnson, Milane Rane, Judit, Castillo, Ewa Radzikowska, CJ Klinger, Mari Humberg, Bobbi Oshiro, and Will Howells for their effort out on the court from which we can learn.

Hola. Hello. Konichiwa. After 40 years playing tennis, I am now a full-time pickleball player and professional. As a 5.0 rated Senior Pro Pickleball Player and an IPTPA-certified Master Teaching Professional, my focus is on helping players like you learn to play their best pickleball. In 2016, shortly after starting to play pickleball, my friend Tom and I jumped into the highest division at the first US Open in Naples, Florida. That morning it became clear just how much there is to learn in this seemingly simple sport – a lifetime of learning if you so choose. Since 2018, I have been on a mission to share my knowledge of pickleball so other players can enjoy the game at a higher level and attain their pickleball objectives. When not studying or playing pickleball, I like to travel with my other half, Jill.
