Perfecting your Backhand Dink by Briones Pickleball

Today’s video focuses on making your backhand dink more reliable and powerful.

Jordan Briones suggests starting with a proper grip, resembling how you'd hold a hammer, to ensure efficiency.

A good stance is vital, with a low, wide base to improve movement and balance.

Jordan highlights the importance of shuffle footwork to position yourself optimally for hitting the ball, emphasizing the need for space and timing for a clean hit.

Techniques for shot preparation and execution include maintaining a cocked wrist and using the shoulder to control the swing path, ensuring the paddle is set early and kept low.

Practice drills focus on crosscourt dinking to improve shot placement and consistency, stressing the importance of footwork in achieving a strong backhand dink.

Key Points:

• Use a continental grip for a stronger backhand.

• Maintain a low, wide base for stability.

• Utilize shuffle footwork for optimal ball contact.

• Keep your wrist cocked and paddle ready for early shot preparation.

• Practice with crosscourt dinks to improve accuracy and consistency.
