Hi, Jim Carella here, aka Jimbo Pickleball.

Last tip we talked about dinking and why we dink.

This tip is gonna be on where we dink.

So when dinking straight ahead directly to your opponent,

it's only 14 feet.

Make sure your dinks are low and precise.

Dinking in the middle creates more confusion.

That's about 20 feet.

And when you go on the diagonal,

you can create as much as 24 feet

between you and your opponent.

It gives you the most opportunity to hit it harder and higher.

It also opens up the court.

Remember, try to dink with a purpose.

Each dink is a good one, but it serves a purpose.

Hopefully this helps and happy pick a link.

Well, there you have it.

We wanna thank reGeovinate.com for use of the studio

and Signature Tennis for their support.

And be sure to give us a review in your podcast app.

but I'm sure you can find it.
