COACHING & INSTRUCTION: SOLO PRACTISE


Another excellent routine to practise on your own is to stand on the ‘T’ and play forehand cross-court drops with pace so as to make the ball come back to you with one bounce and then play a backhand cross-court drop to the same area in order that the ball will come back to you on the ‘T’ on the first bounce on the forehand. Continue this routine, challenging yourself to hit the ball as low to the tin on the front wall as possible and with sufficient angle to come back to you. This routine helps you to become very familiar with the whole of the front court and to develop great control of your racket.


All of these simple routines, if done a few times per week, or as much as possible, will help you to develop repetition and consistency on the court. They will allow you to become familiar with all angles on the court and give you confidence to control the ball when playing to all parts of the court.
