Tip of the day
Kyle Koszuta teams up with pro player Cam Luring to break down the mechanics of a world-class two-handed backhand dink.
The shift toward a two-handed dink allows players to generate more top spin, which is essential for staying offensive at the kitchen line.
Start your practice by using only your non-dominant hand to dink crosscourt, focusing on a windshield-wiper motion with your wrist.
Your non-dominant hand should do about eighty-five percent of the work, while your dominant hand provides stability.
Maintain a short and compact swing to generate pace and spin without accidentally hitting the ball too deep into the court.
Dropping the paddle tip toward the ground before contact is crucial for getting underneath the ball and adding necessary lift.
Letting the ball meet your paddle rather than reaching for it helps with both control and disguising your next shot.
Waiting for the ball to reach its peak before making contact prevents you from hitting it too early on the rise.
Keeping your feet squared to the net and positioned between the ball helps maintain a stable foundation during dink rallies.
Practicing speed-ups off the bounce using the same two-handed motion makes your offensive transitions much harder for opponents to read.
Commit fully to the swing once you start the motion to avoid sailing the ball long or hitting it into the net.
Key Points:
Use your non-dominant hand for the majority of the power and control in a two-handed dink.
Keep the swing short and condensed to maximize spin while maintaining accuracy.
Drop the paddle face toward the ground to ensure you can brush up and over the ball.
Wait for the ball to travel to your paddle to improve your timing and disguise.
Focus on shoulder turns primarily for disguise or when you are pulled out wide.
