Aggressive FH Dinks: Feet, Tip Down, Aim Away

Summary

Tanner Pickleball compresses aggressive forehand dink mistakes into under a minute. First: cement feet — standing still and arming it. Get active with the lower body so the hips get behind the ball and body weight goes through the shot.

Second: paddle tip sideways won’t catch the ball — tip down so you can hit through and grab it. Third: stop ripping aggressive dinks into someone who’s already set; move them sideways to open the court, then attack the space.

Key takeaways

• Hips behind the ball — don’t arm aggressive FH dinks from cement feet
• Paddle tip down (not sideways) to catch and drive through
• Aim where they aren’t — move them first, then attack

Action items

• Shadow 20 FH dinks checking tip-down + a small step to load the hip
• One kitchen game: aggressive FH dinks only count if they land away from the opponent’s strike zone
