Dink Shot Review
Dink is a variation of drop shot.
Finesse barely over the net, slowly.
Think “Low and Slow.”
Stay patient.
If/when high ball to you, crush it!!
Experiment hitting your shot:
- at opponents feet, or
- as wide as possible.
Drop Shot (Dropper) Review
Delay and “disguise to surprise.”
Lock your wrist, 90 degrees.
For backspin, pull down high to low.
You “hit the drop and make it stop.”
Goal: 50 in a row
Babel: Drop Shot (6 Minutes)

Volleys Review
Shoulder turn, “U” shape.
Racquet head higher than your wrist.
High ball: High energy 8, finish point.
Low ball: Low energy 2, finesse/drop.
Aim for sharp angle “Low and Slow.”
Fast ball: No time, just BLOCK it.
Half Volleys: Forward “ta-da.”
