Why should I keep my paddle tip down?
—Keeping your paddle tip down allows for better disguise and prevents opponents from anticipating whether you will speed up the dink or not.
How does holding dinks break rhythm?
—By holding a slow dink for a brief moment, you disrupt the normal dinking pattern and force your opponents to freeze, giving you an opportunity to create confusion and make an attacking move.
What are the strategic spots to attack?
—You should aim to attack wide, paddle side shoulder, or paddle side hip, as these spots put your opponents in awkward positions and make it harder for them to defend.
Why is the brush motion important for generating power?
—The brush motion allows you to generate power while maintaining control. By brushing up the back of the ball with a down-facing paddle tip, you can create speed and spin without sacrificing accuracy.
How can I maintain an attacking mindset?
—To maintain an attacking mindset, visualize yourself playing without any opponents and focus on making the shot. By staying confident and focused, you can execute speed ups effectively.
