Two of the more significant rule changes that will take place in 2022 are:
Spin Serves
In 2022, a player can spin the ball before striking it on the serve, but only one hand at a time can contact the ball before the ball is hit. No foreign substances, material, apparatus, or additional body parts can be applied to the hand or aid the hand that releases the pickleball.
The Drop Serve
No changes were made to the drop serve other than to remove its Provisional status.
