Never miss dinks into the net again! #pickleball #pickleballtips

Summary

Universal Rackets draws a hard line on dink misses: a ball into the net ends the point no matter what else is happening. You handed it over.

If you leave one a little high, your opponent still has to volley or finish it. At most recreational levels that miss rate is real, so missing high keeps you in the point more often than missing low.

Key takeaways

• A dink into the net is an automatic loss of the point
• Miss high rather than low when you’re unsure
• A pop-up still makes the opponent earn the putaway

Action items

• In a dink game, treat net misses as the only zero-tolerance error
• Aim slightly higher on dinks when you’re under pressure
