Ultimate dinking guide by Enhance Pickleball

Connor from Enhance Pickleball shares eight essential tips for mastering effective dinking in pickleball.

The first tip emphasizes taking balls out of the air whenever possible rather than backing up and hitting off the bounce.

The second tip involves using spin effectively, with topspin for aggressive dinks and slice for defensive or neutral dinks.

He advises only going for aggressive dinks when the ball is high and lands in front of you.

For defensive dinks, aim for shorter, less risky shots in the kitchen.

Mixing up shot placement, targeting opponents' weaknesses, and focusing on footwork are also crucial.

Connor stresses the importance of staying low with a wide base and taking big lunging steps, always recovering to a neutral position.

Lastly, he highlights the need for patience in dinking and the importance of accelerating when the opportunity arises, based on the height of the ball.

Key points:

1. Take balls out of the air instead of hitting off the bounce.

2. Use topspin for aggressive dinks and slice for defensive dinks.

3. Go for aggressive dinks only with the right ball and timing.

4. Aim for shorter, less risky shots in defensive dinking.

5. Mix up shot placement and target opponents' weaknesses.

6. Focus on footwork: stay low, take big steps, and recover to a neutral position.

7. Be patient but accelerate when the ball is at the right height.
