Tip of the day

This video from The Pickleball Clinic introduces a shot called the "Roll Dink Volley," which is designed to help players take control of the kitchen line and create offensive opportunities.

It is a great alternative to a "dead dink."

The video explains that the roll dink uses a rolling motion to impart topspin and pace, unlike a simple tap.

This makes the ball harder, keeps it lower, and causes it to bounce out towards your opponent, giving them less time to react.

By using the roll dink in a two- or three-shot combo, you can force your opponent to move and set up a perfect opportunity for a speed-up on the next shot.

The video emphasizes that this shot prevents you from being pushed around and forces your opponent out of the center.

The video provides step-by-step instructions on how to hit the shot, including the importance of getting low by bending your knees and maintaining a straight arm.

It also advises starting with an open paddle face, using a slow and relaxed swing, and finishing with your paddle face pointing towards your target.

Key Points:

  • Roll Dink Volley: A shot that takes the ball out of the air and adds topspin and pace.

  • Dictate Play: Gives opponents less time to react and allows you to control the point.

  • How to Hit: Get low, maintain a straight arm, and use a slow, relaxed swing.

  • Why it Works: The spin makes the ball harder and lower, bouncing out towards your opponent.

  • Offensive Opportunities: Use the shot in combos to force opponents to move and set up attacks.
