Returning the ball short or deep?

Returning the serve in pickleball

First, the serve must bounce before being returned by the opponent, the same is true when the serve is returned by the opponent, it must also first bounce. Then we have the third shot drop.

Mastering a good return/third shot will give you a significant advantage over your opponent. The objective of the serve return is to make the third shot to your opponent a difficult one, a way to accomplish this is to hit the ball right over the net into the opponent’s kitchen or hit the return serve court deep, going after your opponent’s weak side, but be prepared for an aggressive opponent's return just in case. What a great game!
