Common Topspin Forehand Dink Mistakes and How to Fix them #pickleball
Summary
The Prince of Pickleball lists three common topspin forehand dink mistakes. First is too much wrist; lock it and finish with the paddle by your right ear.
Second is contacting outside your base — keep the outside foot outside the ball so you’re balanced. Third is taking the topspin dink too early; let the ball come down off the plateau before you hit.
Key takeaways
- Lock the wrist and finish by the ear
- Outside foot stays outside the ball
- Let the ball drop off the plateau before contact
Action items
- Hit 20 topspin forehand dinks with a locked wrist only
- Pause on the bounce and wait for the drop before contacting
