FAST DUPR BOOST: 30 MIN Pickleball Wall Drill

3. Foundational Dinking Repetition 03:01

As with real games, always initiate sessions by warming up control and nuance. Spend 3 minutes dinking forehands squarely to targets, focusing intently on precision over pace. Strive for between 200-300 contacts, fine-tuning trajectory, depth, shape and placement.

Shift to the backhand for another 3 minutes honing technique. Then spend 2 minutes alternating forehand and backhand dinks while integrating lateral movement and bigger steps to bolster footwork and rhythm. Envision game situations by precision shot making to all corners.
