Dink ControlBeginner

Cross-Court Dink Target Challenge

5-10 min Solo Paddle, 10 balls, 3 DinkRings

Setup

Place all three DinkRings stacked together in the cross-court kitchen corner. Stand at your own kitchen line on the opposite side.

Drill Instructions

Feed yourself a soft cross-court dink and try to land inside the rings. Take 10 reps, reset, repeat.

Goal

Land 6 of 10 balls inside the large ring. Track your best streak.

Make It Easier

Only use the big ring. Don't place it by the edge.

Coach Tip

Keep the paddle out in front and let the ball come to you — push, do not slap.

Make It Harder

Place the rings closer to the net to increase the angle needed. Also, place closer to the sideline for precision!

Avoid

Wristy flicks that send the ball deep instead of softly into the kitchen.
