Pickleball Kitchen Strategy Made Simple: Dinking, Middle Targets, Footwork + “Ones & Twos” Framework In this video, I teach a simple, practical kitchen strategy framework I use with players around the world so you can stop relying on random tips and start winning more real points. I explain why dinking is a set-up tool to keep the ball low, move opponents, and create attackable balls instead of speeding up too soon into strong counters. I break down the “three spaces” on the court and why the highest-percentage targets are usually cross-court and the moving “middle” between opponents, not the tight down-the-line gap. I cover my dinking tier list (volley first, apex second, short hop third), when to attack based on contact height, and the key footwork patterns (shuffle, angled shuffle, lunge). Finally, I share my “ones and twos” dink system, plus how you and your partner should slide and cover middle vs. the line. ➤ FREE Fix My Footwork Video Series | http://fixmyfootwork.com ➤ Try Our Online University for FREE | https://www.thepickleballuniversity.com/ Free Training Videos! ➤ Learn Topspin | http://topspinsecrets.com/ ➤ Pro Attacking Masterclass | https://www.attackmasterclass.com ➤ Learn How to Beat Bangers | https://www.crushbangers.com/ ➤ FREE Pickleball Framework Video Series | http://pickleballframework.com ➤ FREE Pickleball Audit | http://www.pickleballaudit.com ➤ Two-Handed Backhand Training | https://www.brionespickleballvideos.com/twohandedbackhand ➤ "Breaking the 3.5 Barrier" Video Series | https://www.brionespickleball.com/breaking-the-3-5-barrier Take Your Game to the Next Level! ➤ 5-Day VIP Training Experience (Only 12 Spots) | https://5dayvip.com/ ➤ 2-Day Vip Training Experience (Only 4 Spots) | http://2dayvip.com/ ➤ Doubles Training | https://www.brionespickleballvideos.com/doublesperformancetraining ➤ 1-on-1 Private Intensive | https://www.brionesonline.com/1-on-1-private-intensive ➤ Video Analysis by Coach Jordan | https://www.brionesonline.com/video-analysis ➤ Total Pickleball Mastery Course | https://totalpickleballmastery.com/ ➤ Play Pickleball Pain Free | https://painfreepb.com/ Our Sponsors! ➤ Briones Academy | https://brionesacademy.com/ ➤ Check Out My Joola Paddle | https://joola-usa.myshopify.com/brionespickleball More Briones Pickleball Content! ➤ Briones Pickleball Academy | https://www.youtube.com/@BrionesPickleball ➤ Breakdown Channel | https://www.youtube.com/@BrionesPickleballBreakdown ➤ Pickleball Podcast | https://www.youtube.com/@BrionesPickleballPodcast ➤ More Briones Pickleball | https://www.youtube.com/@BrionesExtra Enjoy This Video?
