Dink Fundamentals

Focus on backhand dinks for better defense, maintain a wide stance, and stay patient at the kitchen line to control the game.

Think about the dink as a backhand (dinking on the backhand side improves body defense capability)
Keep the racquet out in front
Take the ball out of the air when possible
Keep as wide a stance as possible
Prioritize backhand dinking over forehand dinking
The more you can hit the ball inside of the kitchen, the better
It’s important to be comfortable playing up at the kitchen line
Try to avoid backing up and losing the kitchen line position
Patience is key in dinking
