How to dink like a pro! by Tanner Pickleball

Dinking in pickleball may seem simple, but as competition intensifies, strategy becomes crucial.

To master dinking, players should always stay close to the kitchen line, ensuring they don't take a backswing.

Instead of hitting the ball, let the ball hit the paddle, keeping the grip relaxed.

Footwork is essential, with players advised to move only one foot at a time.

Advanced players use a mix of push dinks and dead dinks to apply pressure and control the game.

Key Points:

• Stay glued to the kitchen line and avoid backswings.

• Let the ball hit the paddle, maintaining a relaxed grip.

• Move only one foot at a time, using the "step and drag" method.

• Use push dinks in the pressurized zone to create indecision for opponents.

• Dead dinks land closer to the net, giving the player more control and options.
