Body Bagging in Pickleball

What is Body bagging in pickleball?

A pickleball tactic known as body bagging involves hitting an opponent in the body with a ball that has accelerated off the bounce. It's regarded as pickleball's most deceptive tactic.

Some argue that body bagging is not suitable for every game and that open-court play should prohibit targeting an opponent above the shoulder.

They also say that continued body-bagging can make pickleball less accessible to new players.
