1 simple trick for 2x better dinks! 🪄

Tip of the day

Pro John Cincola teaches a small trick to reduce errors and pop-ups when dinking. It’s called the "dink ceiling.”

Imagine a line at the top of the net. When hitting a dink, make sure your paddle doesn't go above this line.

This helps you take shorter swings by reducing your backswing and follow-through.

Shorter swings when dinking lead to more control, fewer errors, and faster reload times so you’re prepared for the next shot.

Key Points:

  • Use the "dink ceiling," an imaginary line at the top of the net.

  • Don't let your paddle go above this line when dinking.

  • Smaller paddle movements mean better control, fewer errors, and faster hands.

Gear review of the day

The Proton Atomic 1 paddle is constructed from aerospace-grade carbon fiber, the same material used in Proton's softball bats, which lends it significant power.

However, this power can be a double-edged sword; it's easy for balls to go out of bounds if not controlled well.

The paddle lacks finesse regarding control and spin, and despite its high price, it doesn't offer the premium feel one might expect.

It's not the ideal choice for players who prioritize control and spin in their game.

  • Price: $160
