In this episode, John Cincola teaches us the secrets behind his off-the-bounce forehand attack. John covers how to: get behind the ball (inside the foot line), start with the paddle tip down, and only attack true “dead dinks” that bounce up high enough to give time. We cover how a unit turn creates needed spacing, how the basic motion is a faster dink-like push, and how execution changes by target: hold the paddle for straight/down-the-line attacks, and add a controlled tip-down-to-tip-up wrist roll (not a flip) to go cross-body. We also talk targeting small spots, reading opponents, a reaction drill using a last-second hand target, pace vs placement based on ball height, intentional body shots, and footwork so you don’t drift backward after attacking. If this is a shot that you are currently working on then this video is for you!
