Solo Pickleball Practice on Your PicklePost
If you own a PicklePost Pro or Pro XL, a 20-minute solo session covers height setup, contact point reps, volley blocks and dink touch. The trainer holds the ball at a set height and returns it after each hit, and the Pro XL adjusts from 13 to 68 inches, so no partner is needed.

Pickleball questions
Can I practice pickleball without a partner?
Yes. The PicklePost holds the ball at a set height and returns it after each hit, so you can repeat the same contact point alone.
What is the difference between the Pro and the Pro XL?
The PicklePost Pro is the arm only, for mounting on your own pole or post. The Pro XL is the arm plus a stand that adjusts from 13 to 68 inches.
What heights should I use for each shot?
Set lower for dinks, around chest height for volleys and higher for drives. See the contact point guide on beasthack.com for details.
