Transition Cross Court Dink – Skill Level 3.0. ​

This drill demonstrates maximum complexity (versatility) of the DINK.  The drill is intended to help develop both the forehand/ backhand strokes, shot accuracy (placement), while being mobile.  Mastering this drill dramatically improves your chances of acquiring an unforced error, or capitalizing on your opponent’s lack of accuracy allowing you or your partner to either poach a slam, or slam the ball directly.
 
Drill Execution – Skill Level 3.0.  Have 2 players assume the ready position near the NVZ at opposite corners.  Start by dropping the ball into the NVZ and dinking CROSS court to your opponent.  Slowly place the ball in front of your opponent, approaching each other in the middle, eventually passing each other.  This forces each player to start with a forehand and switch to the backhand (as you pass).  Continue play up and back in a continuous fashion until an error is created (net, out of bounds, out of the NVZ).
