Refine Your Dinking Skills!

Hello Picklers,

If you want to elevate your pickleball game, mastering the dink is essential. Here’s a simple yet effective drill to enhance your control and precision.

The Triangle Drill

• Set-Up: Place three cones in a triangle formation on the kitchen line.
• Objective: Your aim is to dink the ball, making it land in each of the triangle's corners.
• Procedure: Start at one of the cones, lightly dink the ball aiming for one of the other two cones, ensuring it lands within the triangle.
• Repetitions: Do 5 rounds, focusing on consistent and controlled dinks.

Why this works: It forces you to concentrate on accuracy and soft touches, two key elements for effective dinking. Remember, the goal is control, not power!

Give this a try in your next practice session, and watch your game improve.

Stay sharp and pickle on!
