Pickleball Dink Shot Strategy & Technique: Offensive Play Guide Launched

Share this news:

Experience Pickleball has released a new guide covering shot selection and tactics - focusing on the dink, and the most effective ways of using it in the game.

The latest guide reveals what makes dink shots different from traditional drop shots, specific techniques for hitting the shot, and advanced strategies to help players implement this tactic in their games.

In the new guide, author Damien Dansel explains that a well-timed dink can change the momentum of the match - and as such, it should be practiced until it can be deployed as an effective on-demand tool in the player's arsenal.

The dink shot involves a player softly tapping the ball after it bounces so that it barely clears the net and lands within the opponent's non-volley zone. The technique requires briefly stopping the paddle's motion as it makes contact with the ball. When executed properly, a dink creates a downward arc that makes it challenging for the opponent to accurately return.

Strategically, the dink is an offensive play, as it forces the opponent out of position and on the run. Frequent dinking keeps the opponent behind the non-volley line, allowing the dinker to control the tempo and flow of the rally. As Experience Pickleball's guide details, dinking mastery is essential for advanced positional play and match strategy.

Damien Dansel states: "When a player hits a well-placed dink shot with just enough power, it makes it extremely difficult for the opposing players to get an effective return on the ball while also forcing them to move out of position to move closer to the net when they might instead prefer to hang back."

The growth of pickleball participation underscores the need for resources that help new players develop proficiency. According to the 2023 USA Pickleball Participation Report, more than 36 million have tried pickleball at least once in the past year.

To address this rising demand, Experience Pickleball provides regular instructional content to aid players at all levels. Whether offering drills to improve reflexes or analyzing how much professional players can make, the site's expanding library of articles aims to shorten the learning curve.
