Reset Lab
Pickleball coaching · Chennai

Learn. Reset.
Win the point.

Reset Lab is a pickleball academy founded by cricketers Manish Ravi and Yaksharath. We coach the whole game: powerful drives when it's time to attack, and soft drops, dinks and resets when it's time to slow the point down.

What we coach

Power and touch

Winning players can do both: hit through the court when the ball is up and slow it down when it isn't. We coach every shot in the game and when to choose each one.

Attack

Drives

Forehand and backhand drives with pace and topspin, plus the third-shot drive to put pressure on from the baseline.

Defense

Resets

Absorb a hard drive and drop it soft into the kitchen so the rally starts over on your terms.

Transition

Third-shot drop

The shot that gets the serving team to the line. Arc, height and a repeatable contact point.

Kitchen line

Dinking

Cross-court and straight dinks with a purpose: move your opponent, then wait for the ball you can attack.

Start of point

Serve & return

Deep, consistent serves and returns that buy you time to reach the kitchen line.

Doubles

Strategy & footwork

When to drive and when to drop, stacking, partner communication and moving as a team.

The founders

Built by two pro cricketers

Reset Lab was founded by Manish Ravi and Yaksharath, two professional cricketers who brought their training habits to pickleball. Both played Season 2 of the TNPPL. Train with either of them, or both.

Drill

Focused reps on that shot, with feedback on grip, paddle face and contact point.

Play it live
