Pickleball Guide ATP
The ATP (around the post)
A wide dink pulls you off the court — that’s an ATP chance. Angles, footwork, and the reset option when the around-the-post shot isn’t there.

Dashed = soft shotMovement
Opponent's wide dink pulled you off the right sideline. You chase it outside the court. The ball goes AROUND the post — not over the net. Blue dashes show your movement.
ATP — behind the net player
From outside the sideline, swing around the right post (ball never crosses the net) and place it behind the opponent who dinked you wide. They're leaning the wrong way — unreachable.
The ball path goes AROUND the post — this is legal. Keep it low and controlled. Power is secondary to angle and placement.
