The Ultimate Pickleball Dink Video You Need

Nothing worse than getting a ball threaded between you and your partner.

In this video you will learn the proper movement and coverage to avoid being beaten down the middle and some of the things we should be thinking about at the non-volley zone.

We’ll show you how it looks like to:

Move laterally with your partner

Cover the middle. If they give a good shot on the back third of your body, good shot with speed and spin, it’s just a good shot but cover that middle.

Go with your partner and expect the ball down the middle.

It’s okay if we sometimes clash in the middle. It’s not my forehand, your backhand. It’s where the ball is coming from.

Respect the X:  If it’s going away from me, it’s probably your ball. If it’s coming away from you, it’s probably my ball.

Thank you to Mindy Yoder for helping us in this video and to the legendary Coach Deb Harrison.

Hola. Hello. Konichiwa. After 40 years playing tennis, I am now a full-time pickleball player and professional. As a 5.0 rated Senior Pro Pickleball Player and an IPTPA-certified Master Teaching Professional, my focus is on helping players like you learn to play their best pickleball. In 2016, shortly after starting to play pickleball, my friend Tom and I jumped into the highest division at the first US Open in Naples, Florida. That morning it became clear just how much there is to learn in this seemingly simple sport – a lifetime of learning if you so choose. Since 2018, I have been on a mission to share my knowledge of pickleball so other players can enjoy the game at a higher level and attain their pickleball objectives. When not studying or playing pickleball, I like to travel with my other half, Jill.
