In this video, I teach a simple, practical kitchen strategy framework I use with players around the world so you can stop relying on random tips and start winning more real points. I explain why dinking is a set-up tool to keep the ball low, move opponents, and create attackable balls instead of speeding up too soon into strong counters. I break down the “three spaces” on the court and why the highest-percentage targets are usually cross-court and the moving “middle” between opponents, not the tight down-the-line gap. I cover my dinking tier list (volley first, apex second, short hop third), when to attack based on contact height, and the key footwork patterns (shuffle, angled shuffle, lunge). Finally, I share my “ones and twos” dink system, plus how you and your partner should slide and cover middle vs. the line.
