Building a Consistent Dink
Slow the game down and win the soft game with a relaxed, repeatable dink you can trust under pressure.
The soft game wins points
Dinking forces errors and creates attackable balls. Consistency here is worth more than power almost everywhere on the court.
Fundamentals
- Loose grip — think 3 out of 10 pressure
- Push, don't swing — motion comes from the shoulder
- Contact in front of your body, paddle face slightly open
- Reset your feet between every dink
