3 cones are set behind the player on the right side. The player takes one ball and jumps backward on right leg toward the cone. The player places the ball on the cone and repeats this pattern to the rest of balls/cones.
In this drill, the player works on strength and balance of the right leg. Jumping on one leg is a demanding exercise but it is necessary to build solid base for tennis skills. Because the topic of this lesson is placed around forehand, this drill can help players especially when they hit off balance or when using open stance forehand.
