To be able to hit all forehands from the whole court player has to quickly move around the court. That's why this drill improves footwork a lot. Additional benefit of long and controlled rallies is improved stamina so coach should communicate before the drill why players should focus on consistency. Let's not forget also about ability to hit with control while being tired. Many players play really well during the first gems of the match but their performance drop in the final set.
