Demonstration video coming soon
Instructions
- 1Rally dinks normally to establish rhythm and disguise.
- 2When the opponent creeps tight to the kitchen line, load the legs like a normal dink.
- 3Lift through contact with the same prep motion to lob over their backhand shoulder.
- 4Immediately move up to claim the kitchen line as the lob lands.
What to focus on
Identical prep motion for dink and lob to preserve disguise.
Common mistake
Telegraphing the lob with an obvious extra backswing.
