Service Return Tip #1:
Don't stand ON or right behind the baseline - stand about 3-4 feet behind the baseline (if there's enough room). It's better to run up to the ball to hit it and carry your momentum to get to the kitchen line.

Short Hop / Half Volley Tip:

Be like Lil Jon and GET LOW www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN43...

The ball is low when you hit a short hop so you need to hit it so that it goes up. That means you have to hit under the ball and angle your paddle up, but you can't do that if your paddle is too high.

Pickleball misconception:
The kitchen is actually called the No Volley Zone, which means you can't VOLLEY while in the kitchen. If the ball bounces you can be in the kitchen and hit it. You can actually be in the kitchen BEFORE it bounces - as long as you hit it after the bounce.
