5 easy tips for winning dink battles by Pickleball Journey

Today’s video from the Pickleball Journey provides five practical tips to improve crosscourt dink rallies.

These tips will help players win more points and avoid common mistakes like hitting the net or creating easy opportunities for opponents.

The first tip emphasizes the importance of consistency in the initial dinks, suggesting players start with a high margin over the net to reduce errors.

The second tip is hitting the ball with the body, not just the arm, to enhance control and power.

It recommends a wide stance and bending the knees to keep eyes level with the ball.

The third tip highlights the need to return to a central position after hitting a dink to cover the court effectively.

The fourth tip encourages taking the ball out of the air to pressure opponents by reducing their reaction time.

The final tip discusses stance and body position, especially after hitting a bad dink.

Players should back up to defend against potential smashes effectively.

By applying these strategies, players can improve their dink game and put themselves in better positions to win points.

Key Points:

• Start with a consistent, high-margin dink to reduce errors.

• Use body movement, not just arm action, for more controlled dinks.

• After hitting a dink, return to a central position to cover the court better.

• Take the ball out of the air whenever possible.

• Adjust stance and position based on the quality of the dink, backing up if necessary to defend against smashes.
