Tip of the day

In this video, Jordan from Briones Pickleball discusses three essential dinks to dominate at the kitchen.

Starting with basic flat dinks, he emphasizes the importance of lifting from the shoulder without using the wrist.

The second level introduces slice or underspin dinks, which stay low and force a lower contact for the opponent.

The third and advanced level focuses on topspin dinks, which accelerate the ball forward and make it dip quickly.

Throughout the video, Jordan emphasizes footwork, positioning, and the benefits of each dink type.

Key Points:

• Flat Dinks: Lift from the shoulder, keeping them low. Good for beginners.

• Slice/Underspin Dinks: The ball stays low, forcing opponents to hit from a lower position. Useful for crosscourt rallies.

• Topspin Dinks: The ball accelerates forward and dips quickly, challenging for opponents. Effective for advanced players.

• Footwork is crucial, especially for topspin dinks.

• Recognize the type of dink to use based on the situation and ball position.
