Wall Dinking Drill

This is one of the simplest and most valuable ways how to practice pickleball alone.

• Stand 6–7 feet from a solid wall. 
  
  

• Drop the ball and hit soft dinks back and forth.
  
  

• Alternate between forehand and backhand shots.
  
  

Focus on keeping the ball low and consistent.

Essential Equipment to Practice Pickleball Alone

Before diving into the drills, gather a few items to create a productive practice zone:

• ✅ Wall or Garage Door (for rebounds)
  
  

• ✅ Paddle and Balls (use quiet indoor balls for apartment settings)
  
  

• ✅ Marking Tape or Chalk (to simulate the net height or kitchen line)
  
  

• ✅ Portable Net or Targets (optional, but helpful)
  
  

• ✅ Camera or Tripod (to record and improve form)
  
  

Having the right tools can enhance your pickleball drills by yourself and help track your progress.
