Timing

Late contact is the main reason dinks pop up and volleys sail, and it usually comes from late preparation, not slow hands.

Think about this while you play

  • Paddle up and ready before the opponent makes contact.
  • Meet the ball out in front of your body.
  • Think 'bounce, hit' on every dink and drop.
