DESCRIPTION

The player starts from the middle. The coach tosses 4 balls into different directions (deuce side, short middle, ad side, deep middle). The player hits all the balls with forehand stroke.

Many mistakes in the forehand stroke are caused because of poor movement skills so coaches have to analyse this aspect all the time to make players improve.

In this drill, the player works on forehand quality with the strong emphasis on footwork skills. The coach should make sure that the basics are right (wide and low position, split step, explosive first step) as also he should teach different movement patterns according to the specific tactical situation.
