The next shot we're going to discuss this morning is the dink. The dink is a
0:05
this morning is the dink. The dink is a
0:06
this morning is the dink. The dink is a small unattackable ball. When we do not
0:08
small unattackable ball. When we do not
0:08
small unattackable ball. When we do not have an offensive opportunity or we feel
0:11
have an offensive opportunity or we feel
0:11
have an offensive opportunity or we feel a little too risky for going for a
0:12
a little too risky for going for a
0:12
a little too risky for going for a little too much, we're going to concede
0:13
little too much, we're going to concede
0:13
little too much, we're going to concede and we're going to throw a dink.
0:15
and we're going to throw a dink.
0:15
and we're going to throw a dink. Meaning, we want this ball to be as low
0:16
Meaning, we want this ball to be as low
0:16
Meaning, we want this ball to be as low as possible across the height of the
0:18
as possible across the height of the
0:18
as possible across the height of the net. A foot or so above is going to be
0:19
net. A foot or so above is going to be
0:19
net. A foot or so above is going to be my spectrum of an acceptable dink. I am
0:22
my spectrum of an acceptable dink. I am
0:22
my spectrum of an acceptable dink. I am forcing my opponent ideally to take the
0:25
forcing my opponent ideally to take the
0:25
forcing my opponent ideally to take the shot upward, not giving them a high
0:27
shot upward, not giving them a high
0:27
shot upward, not giving them a high ball, giving them the opportunity to
0:29
ball, giving them the opportunity to
0:29
ball, giving them the opportunity to swing downwards at me. That is most
0:30
swing downwards at me. That is most
0:30
swing downwards at me. That is most important here. So, I want to have a
0:32
important here. So, I want to have a
0:32
important here. So, I want to have a soft grip pressure. I do not want any
0:34
soft grip pressure. I do not want any
0:34
soft grip pressure. I do not want any amount of back swing in this shot. I
0:36
amount of back swing in this shot. I
0:36
amount of back swing in this shot. I want to push towards my target. Whether
0:38
want to push towards my target. Whether
0:38
want to push towards my target. Whether it is a forehand or a backhand,
0:41
it is a forehand or a backhand,
0:41
it is a forehand or a backhand, visualize a small underhand throwing
0:44
visualize a small underhand throwing
0:44
visualize a small underhand throwing motion. It just feels very, very
0:46
motion. It just feels very, very
0:46
motion. It just feels very, very similar. Try and mitigate the amount of
0:47
similar. Try and mitigate the amount of
0:48
similar. Try and mitigate the amount of back swing. We're not necessarily
0:49
back swing. We're not necessarily
0:49
back swing. We're not necessarily looking for power in this scenario.
