Why Your Dinks Keep Sitting Up — Complete Fix

Universal Rackets’ complete fix for sitting-up dinks: they become free put-aways when the face is too open, you swing instead of push, or you take the ball late/low into the body and scoop.
Close the face, push forward through the ball, and catch it out in front so the dink stays low and unattackable — neutralizing instead of feeding the attack.

Action items:

  • Close the paddle face on soft kitchen balls (tip not skyward)
  • Cue a forward push, not a swing/hit, on dinks
  • Take contact out in front before the ball drops into your body
