DESCRIPTION

COACHING POINTS

Proper technique is important at early stages of any stroke's development so coaches have to look for improvements in this area. Proper arm allignment is a necessity to get balanced position and achieve better results.

In this drill, the player works on backhand slice's technique with the main focus put on the non-dominant arm. The coach has to explain to players that technique is of paramount importance and when dominant arm moves forward, non-dominant one has to go back to keep the body stable.
