Instructions

    • 1

      Mimic the setup for spiking the ball (see the Related eHows).

    • 2

      Jump in the air and fake as if you were going to spike.

    • 3

      Slow your arm speed at the last second so that you stop the movement just before you dink.

      Direct the ball with your wrist with a slight tap.

    • 5

      Aim wherever they aren't, and so the ball barely rolls over the net.
