Tip of the day

Pickleball Playbook shares insights on a common dinking error and offers three tips to improve.

He identifies the main mistake as popping the ball up too often during dinking exchanges, which leads to opponents easily attacking the ball. To address this,

He suggests using the correct grip, specifically the continental grip, which helps keep the paddle at the right angle for effective dinking.

He also emphasizes maintaining a consistent arm angle throughout the shot, avoiding unnecessary bending or straightening that can disrupt timing.

Finally, He advises against being too 'wristy' with shots, recommending players lock their wrists to ensure more controlled and precise dinks.

Key Points:

  • Use the continental grip for better paddle control.

  • Maintain a consistent arm angle throughout the shot.

  • Lock the wrist to prevent excessive movement and improve accuracy.
