Instructions

  1. 1Rally continuous dinks with a partner, both staying at the kitchen line.
  2. 2Bend the knees to get under the ball rather than lifting with the wrist.
  3. 3Any ball that rises above the net tape counts as a reset — start the count over.
  4. 4Aim for a personal best rally length by the end of the set.

What to focus on

Knee bend generating the lift, not the paddle face angle.

Common mistake

Using a wristy flick that pops the dink up above net height.
