Dinking with a Purpose by Connor Garnett!

Pro Connor Garnett shares tips for better dinking

He emphasizes the importance of keeping leg movement minimal, maintaining a steady position, and taking balls out of the air when possible.

Connor demonstrates how to keep the swing compact and the paddle out in front, focusing on using the legs for power when dinking.

He also discusses the difference between straight-ahead and crosscourt dinks, highlighting the need for precision and control in both.

For crosscourt dinks, Connor advises keeping the paddle out in front and reaching in to take balls out of the air.

He mixes up slices and topspin, ensuring the paddle doesn't go behind the body, which can cause pop-ups.

Connor also emphasizes using the legs, not the arms, for power in the dinks.

The video includes practical demonstrations and drills to help players improve their dinking technique and strategy.

Key Points:

• Keep leg movement minimal and maintain a steady position at the kitchen line.

• Use a compact swing with the paddle out in front for control.

• Take balls out of the air when possible for effective dinking.

• Mix up slices and topspin in crosscourt dinks for variety.

• Use the legs for power, not the arms, to avoid pop-ups and maintain control.
