5 quick tips for 5x better dinks! 🖐️

Tip of the day

Today’s video offers 5 valuable tips for better dinking.

First, try the shading technique.

It means standing in a way that makes it tough for the other team to hit the ball where they want.

Stand close to the center line and reach towards the kitchen to cover more space.

Also, always move with the ball.

Imagine a string connecting you, your partner, and the ball.

This helps you stay ready and not miss any shots.

Another tip is using your non-dominant arm (the one you don't hit with) to help keep your paddle at the right angle.

Make sure your dinks go down right after they cross the net, making it hard for the other team to hit back.

And always point your paddle where you want the ball to go, especially when you try fancy shots like Top Spin dinks.

Key Points:

Shading Technique: Positioning to limit the opponent's shot options.
Alignment with the Ball: Moving in sync with the ball for balance and coverage.
Non-Dominant Arm Utilization: Lifting the elbow for the correct paddle angle.
Ball Trajectory Control: Ensuring the ball travels downwards post-net.
Paddle Face Direction: Aim the paddle face at the target for consistent shots.
