The USA Pickleball Rules Committee implemented significant changes over the last year. While some of the changes were minor ones, there were several significant rule innovations. Here are some of the most noteworthy.
One of the most interesting changes is the introduction of the drop serve. This is the latest step in pickleball’s efforts to make its service more fun and competitive. The drop serve is designed to be a little bit better than the traditional in-air volley serve. This may be a disappointment for players who are more familiar with the game, but beginners will likely enjoy some of the benefits.
Another interesting new rule involves the elimination of "let" serving. This was once a common rule in pickleball. It required a player to hit the ball into his net, and then return it back to his partner. This rule was not good for safety and it was unwieldy. USA Pickleball Rules Committee subsequently removed "let" from their rule book.
Other rule modifications are also possible. One of the most important is the removal of the no volley-zone line. This line was originally used to ensure the serve did not touch the no volley zone. With this change, the no volley-zone line is now just another part of the pickleball court.
In addition to these changes, the rulebook also has a new term. According to the rules, the plane of the net is now considered the official name for a pickleball court. When picking up or moving a serve ball, you will need to be cautious.
Other changes include the removal of "chainsaw" serves. This type of serve was popularized by Zane Navratil. Since the chainsaw serve was not allowed in competition play, players had to use the "spin" serve.
Although the rules have changed in pickleball, they remain fairly similar to the old rules. The Code of Ethics remains the responsibility of all players. Other rule updates clarified that referees should not stop a rally to give technical warnings. If it's a continuous hit, a double miss is an acceptable fault.
The most important changes to the official rulebook are the removal of the no volley-zone, the omission of the no-odds-mimir's-mimir's-mimir's, and the new "Drop Serve." Finally, the new rulebook is available online for download, in pdf format.
When it comes to new pickleball rules, the official rules are the best guide to a successful game. You can find more information in the 2021 USAPA Pickleball Rules Book.
