Mastering the 3 most important types of dinks by PrimeTime Pickleball

Nicole from PrimeTime Pickleball introduces three crucial dink shots for dominating the pickleball court.

She highlights the importance of controlling the non-volley zone to maintain an offensive edge and force difficult returns from opponents.

Nicole demonstrates these techniques using a Slinger bag ball machine but can also be practiced with a partner.

The focus is on the reach-in dink volley, the dink half volley, and the step-back dink, each used to keep a dominant position at the net.

Nicole emphasizes the need for quick decision-making in games.

Based on the game's flow and positioning, you can choose whether to hit the ball directly from the air, take a half volley, or step back for a full volley.

The video encourages players to actively reclaim their position at the net after each shot to maintain court positioning and continuously improve through practice with either a ball machine or a partner.

Key Points

• Master the reach-in dink volley, dink half volley, and step-back dink to control the non-volley zone effectively.

• Maintain proper stance and weight distribution for better performance in rapid exchanges at the net.

• Make quick decisions on hitting the ball based on its trajectory and your court position.

• Always return to your position at the non-volley line after each shot to keep the upper hand.
