How to Dink Aggressively in Pickleball by Josh J Pickleball

Want to turn your dinks into offensive weapons? This video coaching session focuses on how to dink aggressively.

Coach Josh works with a player named Bobby to improve his two-handed backhand dink.

This dink was initially for consistency, but has become a powerful offensive shot.

The video explains a "one-dink" (soft, high bounce) versus "two-dink" (aggressive) strategy.

You'll learn when to be aggressive versus defensive based on your opponent's dink.

Proper body and ball positioning are crucial for aggressive dinks.

The video also covers court positioning and paddle technique for dinks taken out of the air.

Practice these tips to make your dinks more effective in attacking.

Key Points:

Two-Handed Backhand Dink: Can be used as an offensive weapon with topspin.
Dink Strategy (1-Dink vs. 2-Dink): Respond to a "one dink" with a "two dink."
Aggressive vs. Defensive: Be aggressive on "dead dinks," defensive on "good dinks."
Body and Ball Positioning: Be aggressive when the ball is inside your left leg.
Court Positioning: Stay neutral and close to the net for dinks out of the air.
