The power dink is nothing more than a push of the ball where there is some prolonged contact and is accepted as long as there is no turn of the wrist to change direction. The one handed set falls under the same category. One thing a good official does is to learn the reason a rule was put in place inorder to enforce a rule correctly. As is the case with power dinks and one handed sets.
So are you saying, it would be acceptable to use either a certain type of prolonged contact, OR some wrist action, but not both?
