Let’s make the roll dink simple.

If you want to add topspin to your roll dink, start by getting your paddle into a low starting position.

From there, the paddle can travel from low to high to create the spin you’re looking for.

You don’t need more random advice. You need someone to help you understand what’s holding you back, and give you specific things to work on next. That’s exactly why Better Pickleball Camps are built differently.

A good pickleball warmup doesn’t have to be complicated.

Start by standing tall with your shoulders back, then gently move your ear toward your shoulder and back again.

This is a simple example of dynamic stretching — stretching while you’re moving.

Your roll dink may be inconsistent because your body is coming into the shot too early.

Try this instead: let the paddle move forward while your body stays slightly behind it.

Let the paddle lead. Keep your body behind the shot.

If center balls make you feel late, leaning, or out of position, the problem may have started before the ball ever came to the middle.

When the ball is on the opposite side of the court, angle your body toward the back corner on that side.

That position helps you move your paddle more easily and gives you a better chance to be ready when the ball comes through the center.

Small setup change. Big difference in how prepared you feel.

Do you angle your body toward the corner before the middle ball comes?

Comment yes, no, or not sure.

Not sure which pickleball open play is right for you?

Open play is usually organized by skill level, but you don’t have to know your exact rating to find the right group.

Find beginner-friendly sessions, check the ratings when available, watch a few games, and don’t be afraid to ask other players how to get involved.

The goal is simple: find games where you feel comfortable playing and learning.

If you notice more pop-ups as your session goes on, check your ready position.

The longer you’re on court, the easier it is to stand taller, lose knee flex, and get caught reaching for the ball.

That upright position makes it harder to get low and can send the ball up instead of keeping it controlled.

Reset your base:

Feet about shoulder-width apart.
Soft knees.
Weight balanced.
Ready to move safely.

That small reset helps you get lower to the ball, stay more stable, and reduce those tired-session pop-ups.

Before you step onto the pickleball court, give your calves a little attention.

CJ demonstrates a simple calf stretch: keep your heels down and gently pedal your legs back and forth.

If your shots keep popping up, the problem may not be your paddle.

It may be your momentum.

When you run through the ball, your body energy carries into the shot. That extra movement can send the ball higher than you want and give your opponents an easy attack.

Before contact, stop your momentum.

Get to the ball.
Plant your feet.
Set your body.
Then make the shot.

That pause gives you more control and helps reduce pop-ups, especially when you’re moving forward or reaching for the ball.

Have you been told you run through the ball? Drop a comment below, then try this the next time you’re on court.
