What is this "Erne" (pronounced: Ern- ie) shot I keep hearing about?Well, an Erne is an advanced shot in pickleball named after Erne Perry, who first brought the shot into mainstream competitive play.

Did you say you can hit "around the post"? YES! A perfectly placed shot that goes around the post and not directly over the net is legal. In pickleball, the ball does not need to go directly over the net to the other side to be a legal shot. As long as the ball remains in play and is hit to your opponent's side of the court, and lands in, that shot is good!
