Setup
Both players at the kitchen line, diagonally opposite each other. One ball, a bucket nearby.
Reps
3 sets of 50 consecutive dinks, then switch diagonals
How to run it
- 1Dink crosscourt to your partner's kitchen, aiming just past the net.
- 2Keep the paddle in front and lift with the legs; the ball should peak on your side.
- 3Count consecutive dinks. Restart the count when a ball is hit high enough to attack.
- 4After 50, swap to the other diagonal so both players hit forehand and backhand dinks.
Watch for
- Dinks landing deep in the kitchen (attackable)
- Standing up straight between shots
- Reaching instead of shuffling
Make it harder
Add a rule: any dink above net height may be attacked, and the rally is played out.
