Tired of players not dinking in your games?

Tanner argues opponents stop dinking because speeding everything up gets rewarded. Anticipate and sit on their speed-ups; once bad attacks are punished, soft play becomes their only option.

Action items:

• Expect the speed-up and prepare the counter early
• Celebrate/mark successful counters in practice so the habit sticks
• Don’t chase winners — make their smash a losing play
