Kitchen Flicks: Use the Bunt to Stay Attack-Ready

Summary

Parth Mody says pros find more flicks because they stay attack-ready. The cheat code is the bunt: set the wrist down in the same position you use for a flick so you can take time away even on low balls.

From that prep, a low ball gets a shoulder push (bunt). When they pop it to flick height, snap from the same shape. Same preparation hides intent and keeps you hunting the next attackable ball.

Key takeaways

• Wrist-down flick prep on every kitchen ball
• Low = shoulder-push bunt; higher = snap flick
• Same shape takes time away and hides the attack

Action items

• In a dink rally, only allow bunt-prep — no open ready position
• Count how many flicks appear after a string of bunts vs flat dinks
