 In recent years, the style of matchups at the net in Pickleball doubles has changed significantly, with a number of pickleball players such as Hayden Patriquin and Gabriel Tardio changing the traditional defensive and offensive rhythm through the "little quick spirit" style of play.

Traditional style of play: open and close, emphasizing cooperation and suppressing attack to win steadily. Common rhythm: 1. Patient defense, looking for opportunities through multiple rounds of lobs; 2. Make a sudden and violent attack.

New style: Players such as Hayden Patriquin and Gabriel Tardio, who are not tall or powerful, but use nimble steps, quick reflexes and superb technique to outsmart opponents in front of the kitchen area net.

Small block spirit play characteristics:

1. Quick counterattack: Rely on agile reaction, quickly adjust the position, catch the opponent's gap.

2. Fine movements: flexible wrist, instantly change the direction of the ball, creating trouble.

3. Coherent counterattack: Different from traditional defense, focus on continuous attack and accumulate advantages.

"Xiao Kuailing" requires players to have high agility and explosive power, and puts forward higher requirements for physical and psychological quality.

The success of this style of play has also encouraged more players to value flexibility, speed and reflexes, and we can expect to see more players adopting this style taking the initiative in front of the net in the future.
