The player rallies with the coach using forehand cross court. The player alternates regular follow through (to the left side) and Nadal's follow through (over the hitting shoulder).

Regular follow through favors deep balls so players should use it whenever they have time to prepare the shot and they want to hit the ball to the baseline. Nadal's follow through is the best option if players are under pressure or if they aim for the angles instead of depth.
