Dink Menu: Short-Hop, Volley, Topspin, Slice
Summary
Parth Mody maps four dink types to jobs. Short-hop helps you hold kitchen position and stay ready to take balls out of the air. Volley dinks take time away and apply immediate pressure.
Topspin lets you dictate and move opponents; slice is a consistent option for changing direction. The skill is choosing the right dink for the situation — not mastering only one.
Key takeaways
- Short-hop = hold position / stay attack-ready
- Volley dink = take time away
- Topspin = dictate; slice = change direction consistently
