Stop Reaching on Dinks: Get Behind the Ball So Legs and Arms Place It
Summary
Limitless Pickleball’s consistency fix for dinks is positional, not magical hands.
When the ball floats and you have time, get behind it so the ball and paddle sit between your feet. Reaching out with wrist and elbow is hoping; being behind the ball lets legs and arms place it where you want.
Key takeaways
- Behind the ball > reaching with wrist/elbow
- Ball + paddle between your feet = placement control
- Use time on floaters to move your feet, not just your hands
Action items
- Partner floats soft dinks; your only rule is “feet first — paddle between feet” for 20 reps
- Count how many misses happen on reaches vs when you’re set behind the ball
