What aspect of dinking do you want to improve most in?
Offensive dinking
I need help understanding the strategy and nuance behind cross court dinking. I lose consistently after engaging in a cross court dink rally
@@blockchainbaboon7617 thats a good one! one helpful tip is to move the location of your dinks around the kitchen to force your opponent to hit a variety of shots. if you are in a cross court dinking battle, try hitting some dinks to the middle of the kitchen or to the opponent infront of you. you can target either of your opponents feet or go to the middle to hopefully cause confusion. if you feel yourself losing after a couple of cross court dinking rallies, grab a friend and drill that type of senario can check this vid for more tips: kzhead.info/sun/Z5SaoJ2Seml7l4E/bejne.html
Backhand dink. I recently changed my grip towards an eastern backhand grip. It has given me way more control and stability. It seems no one talks about this grip. Only continental, eastern forehand, and semi western.
Are u cocking your grip up like Ben Johns or just firm and to the side on the wide slice dink?
Thanks for the detailed instructions about the tip down and tip sideway dinks. Before I was confused when to use what dinks.
Good lesson as always.
Thanks! 😃
Thank you so much for the video!!
You are so welcome!
Always love your summaries at the end
I love it too. I know it's helpful. Thank you.
8:30 - Sure you can do something different. Miss underneath the ball, and then reorient your paddle to be forehand - then speedup. It's a variant of the classic Kyle Yates backhand to forehand fakeout. The miss is more exaggerated as the paddle literally passes underneath the ball - instead of just quickly pivoting before the ball would have been contacted.
The forehand topsin dink. For some reason the backhand (slice) dink comes easy to me, but on the forehand it's like I stand square to the line and the ball has to pass across my body, and I feel safest chopping a forehand slice back over crosscourt. I actually get it over and in most of the time, but it feels awkward and inconsistent. When I watch the pros it seems much more natural how they hit it out of the air and off the bounce.
How the heck was I not subscribed to this channel? I am sure I was subscribed. Great video - as always John. Love your teaching style.
Thank you so much!
Could you show how the ball reacts if hit with spins to the receivers paddle.
There seems to be a third option which I often use and that's where, on a wide backhand dink, the wrist is cupped (in extension) and the paddle tip is above my wrist/hand which allows me to generate a lot of top spin and be offensive - similar to Ben John's offensive backhand dink. So maybe that would be called "tip up"? 😊Thanks for all your great videos John!
Yeah, I've seen this one a bit and hit it from time to time myself. It's a pretty delicate shot though. Easy to mess it up
Thanks John. I may have a naïve question. Do your concepts of situations that drive use of the tip down paddle versus tip up paddle position apply for using a two-handed backhand dink? I presume it would but really would like your thoughts. Thank you.
Yes, the two handed backhand dink would usually fall in the tip down situational use cases. Thanks for the question. I meant to cover this briefly and forgot
It would be nice if one rule of thumb worked for all situations 😊
if only it was that easy...
