In this episode, we dive into a key pickleball technique: dinking. Our special guest, Jim Carrella, also known as Jimbo Pickleball, is an RSPA and PPA-certified pickleball pro. Jim shares insightful tips on why dinking is a fundamental part of the game and how it can elevate your strategy on the court.

Key Highlights

• Why We Dink: Jim explains the three primary purposes of dinking:

1. Opening the Court: Using angled dinks to create space and opportunities.
2. Testing Opponents: Evaluating their ability to execute this challenging shot.
3. Setting Up the Attack: Strategically causing a pop-up for offensive play.

• Dinking with Intent: Far from being a purely defensive move, dinking is a way to find offensive opportunities and gain the upper hand in the game.
• Pro Tip: Dinking isn't just about being soft; it's about strategy, control, and opening up winning chances.
