Dinking 101 by John Cincola Pickleball

Pro John Cincola addresses a common mistake in pickleball dinking patterns and introduces his "Golden Rule" for better dinks.

He explains that while crosscourt dinks can be more aggressive and create angles, they pose risks, such as giving opponents attack opportunities.

The Golden Rule is based on the ball's position relative to your outside foot: I

• If the ball is inside your outside foot, you can dink anywhere.

• If it's outside, avoid crosscourt dinks and aim for the middle or straight ahead.

This rule helps you make smarter shot choices, improve court positioning, and avoid difficult shots.

John emphasizes understanding and applying this rule can lead to better performance and strategy in pickleball games.

Key Points:

1. Crosscourt dinks are offensive but can be risky.

2. The Golden Rule: Dink direction depends on the ball's position relative to your outside foot.

3. If the ball is outside your outside foot, avoid crosscourt dinks and aim to the middle or straight ahead.
