Corner
Strategy, Movement, and Playing the Dinker
Basic Singles
Strategy – When playing the dinker, it is of primary importance to
be more patient then normal.
-
On serve return
play more balls up the middle of the court. Return with
medium pace shots.
-
Get into a rally
for a few shots before you attempt to try a more offensive shot.
-
Keep your feet
moving even if it seems like an eternity between shots.
-
Be mentally
prepared to play longer points. You may be out there for a
while.
-
When coming to
the net it is often best to hit the ball up the middle of the
court since many dinkers are very good at finding angles from the
corners of the court.
-
Do not over hit
the overhead.
-
If you can
volley short, most dinkers do not like coming forward to hit the
ball.
-
Always remember
No. 4.
