Master Dinking Strategy in 3 Steps by Cliff Pickleball

In this video, Andrea explains the importance of identifying different types of dinks in pickleball and how to respond to them effectively.

She explains the difference between an aggressive dink, where the player pushes the ball toward the opponent's feet, and a neutral dink, focusing more on placement over the net.

Andrea emphasizes the importance of discerning the right time to attack, especially when the opponent hits a dead dink that bounces to the height of the net.

She demonstrates various drills and exercises to improve dinking strategies, emphasizing the importance of patience and waiting for the right opportunity to attack.

Key Points:

• Aggressive Dink: Pushing the ball aggressively towards the opponent's feet, putting more pressure on the receiving end.

• Neutral Dink: Focusing more on placement and getting it over the net without popping off the paddle.

• Attack Timing: Knowing when to attack is crucial, especially when the opponent hits a dead dink close to or at the net's height.

• Drills and Exercises: Practicing forehand and backhand dinks, focusing on ball placement, and knowing whether a ball is attackable are essential skills.

• Patience: Waiting patiently during the dinking battle for the right opportunity to attack is crucial.
