Tennis: Throw With Different Stances

Your tennis drills are extremely useful coaching tools.
Nail, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

  • Players throw basketball to each other from the forehand side.
  • Players alternate using closed and open stances.

COACHING POINTS

  • In this drill player works on upper body turn and use of different stances from the forehand side.
  • Using the upper body properly is necessary to achieve good quality over the forehand, so players should focus to incorporate upper body turn every time they hit a forehand.
  • Additionally learning how to get comfortable with closed and open stances is a priority for competitive players because rivals will force them to hit forehands from different stances.
