Tip of the day

This video, by Zane Navratil Pickleball, dives into advanced dinking patterns for right-side players in pickleball.

The goal is to dominate dinking battles by applying pressure, forcing pop-ups, and controlling the rally, moving beyond simply keeping the ball in play.

The video explores various offensive options tailored for right-side players.

It covers strategies for hitting backhands from the middle, including pushing the ball deep to the opponent's out-wide forehand side and sitting in the middle to apply pressure.

The video also details how to leverage a middle forehand, explaining how taking the ball out of the air from the middle creates numerous offensive opportunities.

Finally, it discusses using the forehand out wide, a position traditionally considered defensive, but which now offers many offensive options.

Key Points:

  • Backhand from the Middle: Push the ball deep to the opponent's out-wide forehand side and sit in the middle to apply pressure.

  • Middle Forehand: Take the ball out of the air from the middle to create offensive opportunities.

  • Forehand Out Wide: Utilize this position, traditionally defensive, for various offensive options, including hitting hard crosscourt or speeding up down the line.

  • Aggressive Dinking: The overall goal is to play aggressively, force pop-ups, and control the rally.

  • Targeting Backhand: Aim to get the ball to the backhand of the person diagonally across, as it's an awkward shot that generates offensive opportunities.
