Ava Ignatowich combines quick hands with smart positioning. Her go-to tip for players at every level is to start 3–4 feet behind the baseline. That extra space buys precious reaction time, allowing you to read the ball, anticipate the shot, and move with confidence. By creating that buffer, Ava can set her feet, control the rally, and put herself in position to attack rather than scramble.
In a sport where points are decided in fractions of a second, stability is everything. That’s why Ava plays in SQAIRZ XRZ™ Pickleball Shoes. The roomier toe box lets all five toes engage the court for maximum balance, while the Smart Traction™ system keeps her locked in through explosive lateral moves and quick sprints to the net. From baseline to kitchen line, Ava’s shoes work as hard as she does, helping her stay planted when it matters and react instantly when the rally turns fast.
Stay ready, stay balanced, and play like Ava.
